Looting simply increases your income by 25%. If your income is already negative, and an estra 25% of your origianal income, before expenses, is not enough to turn it positive, you will still lose cash.

Or did you mean leader looting?

Normal looting makes your markets work harder. If you have NO markets, then you are making nothing work harder.

From in game help on normal Loot:
A focus on money
    While looting, your Workers focus all of their time on looting the countryside, increasing your income by 25%. Note that this does not affect your expenses, which are subtracted AFTER your income is calculated.

Leader looting is based on lots of math on how much you make. But most important is that you have the 30 leaders per hut.

If you are having money problems, sell off some of your army so you make money and pay less per turn. Take out a loan from the bank. Then change (or attack to get vacant land) and build more markets. I find that having 1 tent for each 10 market brings the most money. (Other people may have differant feelings on this math.)

huh :?

If you loot in the standard way, it doesn't mean you'll make money, it just means that if you're already making money, you'll make more money.

...so build a ton of markets and looting will be much more effective.

hats aton of markets in this case :?

[Ruddertail]

Obviously, not enough. Looting only makes your markets work harder, as Wolf Bite said. If that extra effort is still not enough, you'll still be loosing money, and, eventually, get down to $0.

If you are still having trouble, I can check your account in game and let you know what is wrong. I am the Admin for that game. If so, send mail to in game account #2.
