I suppose it would have helped my understanding if I had checked that a value is now associated with the standard

I always believed that standard gave a +1 morale bonus, whereas it seems it acts like a mini continuous 'sermon of courage' spell, is that what you understand?

Yes.

Edit: Although I think the morale recovery from the sermon of courage is greater than one.

Don't be too certain there are many changes that neither me nor JK are aware of. It is not impossible that mindless do not count in the average.

is fanatism better compared to sermon, or the reverse, when dealing with minimal morale loss? Sometime I see that level 4 priests will prefer sermon other fanatism, so I say to myself that the sermon effect is slightly more potent.

I'm not sure. It might be.

is the formula for rout like this :
morale losses > number of units + average morale, then rout (with dices or not)

No idea Probably something like that.

can morale loss for a given unit superior to his base morale (milicia have 8 morale, can they have more than 8 penalty), that would create a sinkhole effect indeed, as they would fail often, and then get a big morale loss very detrimental to everybody.

They can have more morale loss than eight. Yes, they are horrible. Imagine starving militia together with your Wardens
