Kinda scary yet brilliant.

The working of the military traits are no secret, so to speak. They are triggered by the trait file and usually have a random percentage; that's why you can never be sure how your FMs are developing.

Moral (and any bonus) is hard to measure; in particular because its recorded nowhere, affected by a dozend things and changing constantly during a battle. It is communis opinio that the moral bonus of buildings doesn't do a thing, or doesn't work as intented - but there is no proof for or against it.

updated 1.1 cards?

Not 1.1 but 1.0, but I think the info is good for at least 85%+ of units, and I've always taken morale to be very important.

i did not have the cards in my RV until today, when i downloaded it again :D,

a bit OT: what about cavalary(like equites, hippies...)? i've heard it's good to change weapons against infantry after charging, to swords but what when fighting cavalary?

**ziegenpeter** · 10-23-2008, 09:32

To stay OT: How can I change weapons? Is it also possible with infantry like Herthaganautoz

EDIT: here are some answers for our Qs

Unit costs, and also sometimes unit size, has changed in most cases form 1.0 to 1.1. Stats stayed more or less the same.

Moral is important, yes, but here again (like with all stats) EB does not use any extreme values. So, you don't have units with "1" moral and neither any with "36" moral. It usualy ranges from "8" to "14" (16 for bodyguards, 22 for Gaesatae and some other exceptions). You can neither expect peasant units to instantly rout after a few seconds of fighting nor expect elites to fight to the last man in good order when outnumbered, very fast reduced by missle fire and outflanked, all at the same time.
