Unit Morale discussion

  • I think I need a little help to understand unit's morale effect.

    I have 4 inf, with 95% morale. I attack a stack of 6 inf, with 18% morale. No fort, it's in open field. Still, I lose. I kill 5 of his troops, but I lose all 4. Is this normal? Is moral not important at all?

    Changed the title of the thread from “Morale discussion” to “Unit Morale discussion”.
  • I am not surprised by the outcome of this battle. Morale matters, but:


    1) There is some randomness involved in battle


    2) He has more units than you. If morale is equal, then the stack with more units will inflict greater damage. If you play around with this calculator (supplements), you will see that you have an advantage over your enemy's stack, but its not a massive advantage. This fits with the outcome of the battle (he lost more than you).

    Any sufficiently advanced tactic is indistinguishable from magic to the uninitiated.
