How do you know that ID? Do you run the game under debug options? Can we know the ID if there's no battle report?

Re: Flying Archers Gone Wild(ly Wrong)
 

A few more tricks.

Units in grouops of 3 or less get morale checks every round. Don't do it.

Also, if you have a group of 4, the lost of 1 will immediately put you in check. Whereas if you add 2, the loss of 1 will not result in a morale check.

Moral: pay attnetion to squad size and composition for morale.

@ano: You have to run the game in debug mode to see the ID. You know which one is the lead unit by looking in the log - it says something like "Unr 3986 bla bla order 0", followed by something like "grouping other units bla bla" or some such.

@chris: I thought it was groups of 4 that get morale checks every round.

Psycho/Chrispedersen,

Thanks a lot for the analysis and suggestions. I could not see an archer losing an arm. I watched the battle a few times but could not figure it out, obviously I should use debug mode - how?
While I'm asking about utilities, is there a (good) battle simulator anywhere?

Thanks again, Jorus

You can see it in the normal battle replay.

K is the eagle king in the center of your army. X is the square with 2 archers - one of them is the lead archer. He starts the battle healthy. During second round the volley of TC arrows hits him, makes 5 damage and takes his arm.
