Assorted newbie questions...

4) Culling the wounded from squads...do you guys do this often? Also, the game mentions that the 'e' key will select all experienced troops...that doesnt seem to be the case for me. 'a' and 'w' work, but not 'e'.

Culled wounded: I call them "Archer Bait" and put them in the front=) 'e': Only works for units with 2 or more stars.

5) How can you disband troops?

See "culled wounded" above=) There is no disband command.

As for weapon advantages... the BEST way to tell is by running my combat sim, and pitting troops with different weapons against each other to see who wins. However, I have not yet modeled the "Morningstar bonus versus shields" because I don't know how it works, either. I'm guessing it either adds a fixed value (like 2) to attack, or adds the defender's shield defense to attack, thus ignoring shield defense.

Edit: I update the simulator so that morningstars ignore defense from shields, though I'm not entirely certain that is correct.
