Hey thanks for this great post.
Arco is one of the very few nations I have never played at all (tried like 6 turns once and got disgusted at the elephants destroying my army -- have since developed a huge love for the Behemoth for obvious reasons).

Two questions here:

1.) You write that Arco has "cheap labs" -- do they cost less than 200 gold?

2.) Routing, squads, and elephants. I've wanted to ask this question in a different context for a while: Is morale of a squad calculated as a total squad-thingy (the more the harder to lose total morale) even if the individual units of that squad are nowhere near each other (e.g.: elephants way in the front trampling, old heavy-armored slowpoke battle afflicted chaff in the back limping up to the front)?? I had thought this wasnt the case. However, if it is, that gives an entire new meaning to squad built and rout prevention.

Thanks much in advance.
