How much impact does a generals death have on army morale?

[John the Mad]

IIRC the impact is something like a -8 in morale for 20-25 seconds and then it goes down to a permanent -2. So yes a general dying at the right time, when lots of his units are fighting, can mean a big chain rout.

That explains it then.

Though i still wonder though why some armies stay and fight it out after their generals death and others call it a day.I think the Carthos could have won the battle as many of their units had two chevrons to one or none for mine.

I must have ordered the counter-charge while they were suffering the morale penalty.Theres no other way to explain intact units running away as they did.
