The technology Loaning decreases interest rate on loans taken from the bank.
For more information about loans click here.

The amount of gold the Empire pays off automatically to the bank every hour.
Local effect
An effect applied to just one holding or province.
Locking attack
It's an attack which prevents the defender from using their Premium options such as instant transportation, instant research, instant building etc. If the gold equivalent of the attacking army is at least 5% of the gold equivalent of the defender's net worth, the defender will not be able to transport resources and move their army instantly. If the gold equivalent of the attacking army is at least 10% of the gold equivalent of the defender's net worth, the defender will not be able to use premium options and run more than one research /building at a time, in any holding. The locking only occurs in the last 30 minutes in which the attack is visible, before the impact. In alliance attacks the gold equivalent of the attacking army must be at least 1% of the defensive alliance value's gold equivalent (the alliance value multiplied by 1000), as the number of units sent by the attacker must be minimum 50 000. The locking will occur only in the last 30 minutes for realms with speed x4/10 minutes for speed x10 before the battle instead of during the whole period in which the attack is visible.
*Locking attacks on the main empire (capital and annexed provinces) lock the Premium options in all holdings. Locking attacks on remote holdings (colony, trading post or military post) don't prevent the defender from using their Premium options in the main empire or another remote holding from a different type than the attacked one. For example, locking attack sent to colony, will lock the Premium options in all colonies, but they will be available in the main empire, trading posts and military posts.
During global events, in case of locking attack on any holding, the options for instant attacks with diamonds and reduced time travel with items are not available for the missions sent against the global event.

Loot
Getting hold of some of the gathered resources in another user's province/colony or an independent city by successful Fortress Siege (destroying the fortress and winning the battle against the garrison). Players can loot from the independent cities in their exclusive zone or outside their borders, from other active players’ annexed provinces/ colonies and from abandoned empires. Looting implies appropriating resources to the limit of the attacker army's carrying capacity, on one hand, and outside the preserved capacity of the defender, on the other.
Lottery
The Game of luck where every hour the luckiest player wins the exclusive prize of the equivalent of their 100-hours resource production in gold. The lots are drawn among players in all realms. The names and realms of all lucky winners are publicly displayed in Winners tab of the Tavern menu.
Low tax rate
Third tax level. 150 gold for 100 workers per hour. Takes 15 Happiness away per 24 hours.
Loyalty status
Shows how loyal towards alliance’s cause each member is. The Loyalty is calculated based on the time spent in the alliance and is divided into three stages which determine the special and Happiness bonuses’ extents. Abandoning the alliance and joining it again or changing the position inside the same alliance resets the bonuses and the Loyalty status counter is restarted.
