Poll: morale and routing

Why have it again? More than half voted for no change at that time.

I, for one, like the current routing rules, except for one small thing already mentioned in the other thread.

Commanders not routing sounds like a bug, I agree. I havn't experienced this myself, so I have no opion in this matter.

I agree with Mose. The currrent system is fine with me, as soon as this bug (or two bugs) with commanders not routing are fixed. I have been using the routing mechanism as a defense agaisnt Ghost riders attacks, but it is hard to do if it sometimes work and sometimes not. ;( Same goes for any battle. If you dont' know when your troops would route and when they would not, it is hard to plan it.


I also think it would be better if Death twin spear would work similar to Lifelong protection in regards to routing - meaning its summons would not cause the routing of its owner. Otherwise there is not much point in this unique artifacts, and it would be suicidal to give it to any SC commander, except when accompanied by strong army. But this is very minor thing obviously.

Just posting a third sighting, in case there's any doubt this bug exists. I've been fighting Caelum on Try_Something_New, and it seems they've taken to capturing my depopulated, unguarded provinces in raids, setting PD to 2(Or 1, or whichever gives one commander anbd one soldier), and promptly abandoning the conquered territories.
I sometimes respond by moving in a small band of troops(AE longdeads, soulless, etc.), and every single time I have done so thus far, without exception, both before and after the 2.13->2.14 client- and server- side switch, the Caelian infantryman has died in the first round of combat, but the seraphine PD commander remained on the field until killed.

Yeah, seraphines are alwyas anxious to die in battle...its probably a religious issue...
