Hi!

I still can't understand how it works

Neither can I. It looked to me that Yor's planet could be "flipped" as easily as planets of other races. Not that I did much "flipping". I prefered faster and more reliable methods.

In DL, or at least earlier versions of it, you are correct, Iztok. However, in DA 1.7ish onwards (first DA I tested), loyalty definitely works-it's harder to get the Yor to flip than others, even when they're completely locked in and their planets have an influence ratio of >4. At least last time I checked, and I can't imagine this is a bug that would be unfixed, either.

This is not definitive, but I'm pretty sure it alters the odds of a planet flipping on any given turn. Once you get a planet above 4, each turn the game rolls a random chance of that planet flipping. To pull numbers out of my ass, say 10%. The Yor loyalty bonus would reduce this to a 5% chance, thus making their planets more resistant to flipping without making them completely invulnerable.

If I'm not mistaken, this was how the unfortunate MCC bug worked. Instead of raising the chance of a planet flipping to 100%, it dropped that chance to >1%. Planet flipping was possible, but totally impractical. Also note the fixed MCC completely negates any loyalty bonus.
