Does anyone know the equations for morale loss?
After all this time I still dont think the exact equations are known. Some points about morale tho:

1) If every squad in the battle dies/routs, then all the remaining commanders will rout.
2) If every commander in the battle dies/routs, then all the remaining sqauds will rout.
3) If your force is composed entirely of commanders (bodyguards do NOT count as squads!) then when the first commander is killed the rest will rout.

One rule of thumb I like to use (but is by no means authoritative) is that my minimum size for a squad that will experience direct combat is 15 units for units with normal (10) morale. If they have more morale that minimum comes down a bit, if less it goes up.

Thank you for all your quick respones. Just to clarify, I assume non-routing untis fall apart (for undead) or something to that effect if their squad routes?

again, thank you. This is very helpful.

Mindless units will only dissolve when there are no commanders on the battlefield that are capable of leading them. Non-routing, non-mindless units will not rout when the rest of their squad routs, but don't make the whole squad less likely to rout.

also mindless commanders cannot rout, even when the battle runs out - they die instead.
