Morale checks

[thejeff]

Do commanders really break as often as they should, if they take moral checks every time they get injured? Thugs don't seem to break very often.

Looking closer, it's no more than one check per round, so it isn't that many to pass and commanders should get the survivor bonus (+5) since everyone in the squad is still alive. I guess that brings it more in line with my experience.

Another question: Do the various special morale types really average in with the squads morale? 4 morale 10 and 1 longdead morale 50 really has morale 18? Or a berserker instead would be ~28?

Mindless morale (50) is not taken into account when averaging squad morale, so in your example squad morale would remain 10. (But the longdead still wouldn't rout when the rest of his squad does.) I'm almost positive the same applies to berserkers, but feel free to correct me.

Not so certain about morale 30, which would be the highest 'normal' morale, but I'm guessing that should be counted and averaged with the others?
