Default Re: Wraith Crown and routing

No, Baalz' tactic doesn't apply to Morale 30 creatures[1]. That's actually what got me interested in Fear mechanics. Prophetizing your SC gives him Morale 30, so you should have at least one SC that is immune to Fear.

[1] Or at least, the Fear part doesn't apply. Many SCs are not well-equipped to handle a bunch of Horrors or Lesser Horrors, though, and might well rout anyway when they lose 75% HP[2]. (Especially if they're stationed in a province w/ PD.)

[2] One more interesting thing: the 75% limit does not seem to apply to 3rd-party attackers like Horrors, Lammashtas, the undead horde from Ghost Riders, or any creatures that you add w/ Shift+'U' during battles[3].

[3] Sometimes I enjoy tossing a few Doom Horrors into a battle replay, especially one with hundreds of troops attacking a smaller army. "Let's see how this would have played out if you were picking on someone your *OWN* size!" This can also be a good way to gauge the strength of enemy armies and/or see what they have scripted, even if you're only attacking/retreating a scout. It's also good for re-randomizing a battle (add an insignificant unit and kill it w/ Shift+'K') to see if the outcome was a statistical fluke or not.
