i cant see the point of having this/these if i set looting to focus on a specific type and dont get any at all.
when i gem up with a loot comm and add these gems loot resources go up by 1000's yet the actual increased ammount of loot of that type i get is negligable.
why bother to set to loot focus/extra gems if you dont get any at all?

My guess is that there is a finite amount of loot you can get (especially from an NPC target) and once you reach maximum for the specific type for the particular target you are hitting the rest of the army's capacity is then taken up generally split fairly evenly through the other types of loot. At least that has been my observation from sending attacks on max towers and trying to specify particular loot types
With regard to "human" targets it very much depends what they have in store of course
And these days the armies we are using very often have larger loot capacity than those we had access to when the game was written and with the addition of gems, heroes etc our capacity for loot is now disproportionate to the loot available.
This last couple of days I reduced the amount of loot carrying melee soldiers on my max fire tower by half, and the army returned with the same amount of loot as I had received previously with the larger army; good news for me - I can send out two attacks simultaneously where I used only to send one

aye that seems reasonable, but the loot focus when hitting fl's is worst. set loot focus to glass (continually) and come back with coal or other rubbish isnt very good at all

you are dead right osiris, the old loot gems the yellow ones that had a percentage chance gave you more loot over the "max" amount, when they changed to the new gems they just increased the amount you could carry they didnt increase the Max amounts. I really wish i had kept more of the old gems.
