Morale

[llamabeast]

Yeah, I actually think the morale system is very good, seems like one of the strengths of the game to me. The whole combat system is pretty amazing in fact. I was having a little think earlier today about how Johan must have programmed it. My conclusion was Johan is a genius.

The combat system is good. It has a realistic feeling to it for the most part.

There is the occasional time how ever when the morale system leads to silly behaviour. Such as when infantry spends a few rounds charging archers, taking a few casualties in the process/. Then when they finnaly get to the archers and everything is a sure win,they decide to turn around and run, taking more casualties in the process.

To my mind the biggest problem with the morale system is that it makes milita even more useless, since you auto rout once you reach a certain number of casualties. In the Skaven mod I made a workaround for this, because real Skaven soldiers aren't supposed to care if the slaves die.

It is suggested in the game text and in the manual that such cheap troops make good arrow fodder, when actually the reverse is true, since their casualties are just as likely to rout your army as losses to your elites, who are better protected.
