Taking a city

[Tooltip]

Nothing happens. You require scholars to capture a city.

[Duncehat]

What happens to the troops in the wave that successfully conquers the city? Do they return home or do they stay in the conquered city?

[Tooltip]

They return home with any resources they plundered.

[BlueStarSoul]

If the scholars are powered-up, by how much do their effectiveness increase?

[Tooltip]

Five points. From 20-30 to 25-35 loyalty

[SteadyMobbin]

How do you know what the target city's loyalty % is

[Tooltip]

If you successfully hit a city with the scholar, the loyalty is displayed in the report.

There is currently no other method to view the loyalty of a target city.

[Pkhan]

Why use multiple clearing waves rather than one single large clearing wave?

[T-Rone]

Multiple scholars in one wave counts the same as one scholar attacking

[Fire820]

To answer your question Pkhan, the best way is to send multiple huge clearing waves. They can dodge one. But it's harder to dodge multiple ones. But I also send some decent sized clearing troops with each scholar. That way they can't pick off a scholar
