[Fate]

About the repeated Sermon of Courage castings. The spell hits random squares (well, the first square is 100 precision and will always hit the target, but all subsequent sqares are randomly placed around it). So there is most likely 1 or more squares of troops missed. You can veryify this by looking through your troops and seeing that while many (maybe most) have the better morale, not all do.

This applies to all AoE spells with an AoE > 1 (the Mass xxxx spells), so don't expect them to hit all of whatever your force is in one casting, even though it should be large enough to cover them.
