Anyone know why i am having low loyalty in Alma. I can't train Militia there. I recently freed and recruited dynamo from Tixa jail but the queen's army took over tixa jail once i left. Is it caz of that? Right now, I have Drassen with 98% loyalty and Omerta with 100% and Chitzena with 98% loyalty. Please help.

Are they acutally his parents? I always wondered because it would seem to fit, but I think I tried talking to them with Shank once and nothing happened. I mean the "rich guy in Balime".

I know the topic is now probably too old for it to matter, but for anyone new reading this:
Alma loyalty is, as stated, initially very low.
I believe this concern is greater with the patches
Timing is CRITICAL as loyalty will slowly fall.
Get a good team, take at least 3 sectors, then clear the bloodcats (after learning about them from the proper person)
as long as you do not give loyalty a chance to drop on you, it should be stable and allow for militia training.
Militia training will allow further gains.
Do not allow other towns to fall during this time, as it will drop loyalty across the board.
If it's not quite there, hunt patrols in the area, or take the 4th sector and fend off the counterattack.
Most towns, you can take a foothold then just militia it up and wait for loyalty to increase.
Alma does not work by these rules. It is tempting to raid Alma for their nice (at the time) weapons, but your second SAM site is a much better bet for this.
If loyalty is already falling, your only option really is to finish all quests and find a way to gain more loyalty from killing patrols than you are losing from the natural drop.
Once again, I stress, SPEED IS EVERYTHING.

Bit of a misunderstanding here, I guess. What I meant was, that I ususally take over Cambria including the SAM site before raiding Tixa and freeing Dynamo who will then be moved to Cambria to train militia. So once I conquer Alma I can fly Dynamo in to have a chat with his brother to raise loyalty straight away and if that does not suffice, I switch to my guy in Chitzena and give the chalice to Yanni. That makes two positive influences on loyalty in Alma at once almost instantly after takeover before the enemy even has a chance to try retaking any Alma sectors.
Most of the time, Ira lies in waiting near Alma additionally - she is a training machine at this point in the game. So I will have Ira, my squad mercs and Dynamo, who has some leadership experience from reinforcing Cambria, in Alma together. That makes for a rather prompt fortification to prevent any sector losses which might decrease loyalty. If I'm lucky, some roaming militia from the north will take station in Alma as well, so a proper defense is established even more quickly.

That is exactly what I have been experiencing so far.
But one can't be absolutely certain about that, since there seem to be some inconsistencies in the way certain events are triggered by dialogue, anyway. Sometimes NPCs speak the lines which are supposed to trigger an event, but it doesn't happen.
I had that with Shank and the Estoni gas station. Once, I talked to the guy with Shank being in another sector and he acknowledged me having Shank under contract, but the fuel supply for Skyrider was not unlocked. When I let Shank talk to him in person, the same dialogue occured and the supply became available. Another time, even Shank could not unlock it, despite of the according dialogue part being spoken.
By the way: I have never ever got any acknowledgement for killing the Bloodcats east of Alma (not even in the origina game years ago) - bad luck, I guess...
