Fear mechanics

I don't think morale 30 is immune to fear. They can rout IIRC, but don't trust me on this. 30 is just a way of saying 'practically unroutable'.

I'm starting to think that you should not trust what I'm saying, so I'll say some more to confuse matters further

- Moral loss might have replaced the fear bonus
- Morale loss (and gain from standards) gets halved each round.
- Morale regain will only affect those not in melee.

Neither of these comes from trusted sources, they come from me.
JK is on vacation playing golf or something, so he can't shed light on matters

I do love you. <3


Now, I am curious, is it just that 30 is the "practically unroutable" score for "normal" units? Is 50 reserved for Mindless? Because I thought 50 was REALLY unroutable, so I had been wondering why 30 also supposedly was.

Granted, failing a morale check against 30 is like a Markata hurting a geared Cyclops, but it could happen!

Well, morale 30 units will retreat during army rout or when they get beat up enough, mindless units will either keep on keepin' on (golem) or dissolve from lack of leadership.

50 and 99 are special cases.

I always thought 30 was just high morale but was told recently (by edi I think?) that it's special when modding and gives some sort of unbreakable (but able to retreat) tag.

Shame 99 in modding doesn't auto berserk :]
