Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?

But how do you explain the 20 dragonflies that attack and are all destroyed by one defender? Clearly the repeller's Attack is not being lowered for each attempt, or successful repel. It seems like a pretty clear case of being a bug.

If you mod the Dragonflies by giving then non-50 morale, they won't all die. It has something to do with Mindlessness, but I don't know what, exactly.

[Renojustin]

I believe in the manual, it says that the morale check comes before the damage check. If they fail the morale roll, they won't be repelled with damage because they don't attack? Dunno.

The manual doesn't mention mindlessness. It seems like it's an exception to te normal rule. I found this out when I modded the Dragonflies by giving then non-50 morale, and they ddidn't all die.

You know, that gave me an idea...
