Better morale = fights better, or not?

Hello,

I've a somewhat idiotic question but I really want it to be confirmed: aside from broken morale = rout, does units with a better morale actually fights better, or not? I think the logical answer is "yes" but I can't find any official answer out there.

Thanks for any help!

In a sense they do in fact fight better. While morale itself will not give you any bonus/penalty to your attack or defense values, it does determine how long a unit will last under pressure before tuckin tail and running. So a unit with high morale can and sometimes will fight to the death, while units with low morale may cut loose when they suffer a few casualties and are threatened on a flank.
