Taking a city

[BaronStormcloud]

Thanks. I'm still 2 upgrades on my City Hall from building an academy but that's good info to have.

How do I tell an "inactive" player city from an "active" one?

[Petroczi]

I would say, take note of their points.

You can also send them a message.

I still do not get the clear picture. Must a scholar survive an attack to bring down the lvl in the town?

[SirSweetness]

The scholar has to survive the attack to lower loyalty, and they are expensive, so you want to send a carivan of troops with them. Best case, clear the city of troops and destroy wall before attack. Then send 4-5 waves of scholars with escort troops to lower loyalty (each scholar will lower loyalty 20-30 pts with each hit depending on morale, luck, etc.). If you've only got 1 or 2 scholars, and no help from your guildmates, you need to factor in travel time. Most worlds have a loyalty regeneration rate of 3/hour. So an attack 2 hours away will make a 4 hour round trip for one scholar, so the loyalty will be raised 12 points in between visits.

That is an answer, thank you.
