But what we are discussing is Alex's Growing Fury -scenario. So, in other words both parties would be berserking so mrl and repelling wouldn't be _such_ big issues plus the falchioneers would get the needed boost to their attack skill.

Hmmm... morale changes. Attack does not, since magical berserks give berserk level 0. Thus, they would no longer be repelled, but they'd still miss a lot.

I reran it with morale maxxed for all units:

Not much different - both Falchion units improve a bit. Spear and Trident units drop slightly. But still, City Guard beats Elite Warriors and Falchioneers, plus is more durable (prot=14) and arrow-resistant (shield). And cheaper in gold then either of them (midway in resources).

Here's the new 1-on-1:
