Fear mechanics

I think the confusion comes from berserker state giving 99 morale?

50 I think makes a unit mindless, and 30 gives pretender style morale. Been a long time since I modded, so I may be wrong on these.

There doesn't seem to be agreement regarding what 'pretender style morale' actually does/means.

You pretend that you are unbreakable

So...

Morale gets checked as a unit. So if you have a division of 50 units attacking a scary beastie, let's say only 10 are "hit" by the fear AoE roll, how does that work?

Is there just one roll for the whole division of 50 caused by the effect on a few, where presumably the morale is still averaged for the whole unit, and because 10 have been "hit" they carry a negative modifier, dragging the average down?

That's how I think it works, Agema.

That's how I think as well

By "pretender style morale" I just mean what a pretender or prophet's morale is set to when they are designated as such. I don't think it gives any special bonuses beyond just being really hard to break.
