Battle: coloured lines under unit icon

Morale loss isn't figured on a per-unit basis. Instead, each unit has either broken or it hasn't. When enough units in a squad have broken, the squads routs.

It would be interesting to have a measure of how close a unit's squad is to retreat, but it has been stated that the morale code is a bit messy, so I doubt there will be any extensions added on to it any time soon.

Indeed. I'd like to be able to see just how well a unit's Cause Fear effects are working in combat. As it presently is, I have no way of knowing whether the fear effects are making a significant contribution to routs.

Speaking of fear, is there an improved (that is, harder to make) morale roll for Cause Fear +5 than for +0, or is the difference just in area of effect?

TIA.

There was a thread with info from JK on the effects of Fear. The level increases the area of effect but I believe it also increases the effectiveness within that area. I'm not 100% sure on that Last but am about the first.
