Default Re: Poll: morale and routing

For a 200hp, 30 morale uber-beast, it's a different matter. What do they care if the infantry or archers or whoever they are get mown down (probably trampled by their own fleeing mammoths)? Unless they are sorely wounded and fatigued themselves, they wouldn't rout. In a fantasy game, that's "*common* sense".

Hm. Pick a movie, preferably featuring the most fearsome weapon of destruction known to Hollywood, Arnold the Brute. Mr Stallone probably applies too.

If he's fighting overpowering enemy with some companions, the minute the wimps flee Arnie follows to cover them or drag their bodies to safety.

After an emotional scene when companions preferably die, our hero embarks on a quest of revenge, packing the biggest guns available in the movie's universe. Eventually alone kicking butt of the army previously so overwhelming against the company of wimps.

So, it makes perfect sense that SCs with troops rout as the troops rout. And don't claim you haven't been brainwashed by Hollywood, everyone with an access to Internet has been.
