One option is to have one of your teammates go to the town with an
emissary and issue 525 (influence other).  You'll lose the town but the
new owner will have a much better loyalty (which will prevent the DS from
doing a 525, or at least make it much more difficult to steal the pop
centre).  It is easier to do this in a team game or grudge game but you
can easily arrange a trade, or better yet, arrange to retake the pop
centre when the nasty Wurms knock the loyatly down again.  This strategy
works well for the team but hurts if your looking to outright win.
