Except that the new morale system is broken even worse than Dom2's, as your mages _won't_ rout when all the troops have. Instead they mostly stand there casting spells until the enemy troops get to them and start attacking.

And of course, most mages under melee attack, die before they can run.
If that's true, it's a bug.

Once an army has taken 50% casualties, every squad (and commander, I think) will make a morale roll every round.

Once an army has taken 75% casualties, it will automatically rout.

It MIGHT be that routed units aren't counted as casualties, and that normal Caelumians (50%) fail their roll and rout, but the mages stay in because more than a fourth managed to run away. Can anyone confirm this?
