Routing:

Routing can be caused by unit casualties (where a casualty is a heavy wound or a death).

It can also be caused by a army casualty levels. Route checks are made a single time with light casualties- but every round once casualties reach heavy.

The manual says units of four or less check - thats not my experience.

However, it is fairly reproducible that pans carrion dragon (plague breath which causes couple points of damage) and area fear - on top of aura and +18 fear on the dragon will cause routes without causing a single death...

Wounds count..

this is why I said barbarians can kill a virtue - they come in groups of up to a hundred commonly - A virtue will be losing fatigue faster than it will be able to kill barbarians / inflict a morale check. Ie., you'd have to inflict 10/20/25? before the first serious check - and even then then survivor bonus means the barbs will pass.
