Halberdiers

[caravel]

What class of general were the AI fielding? I'm guessing a 0 star or very low. Also I can only see one valour pennon per unit and only in the forth screenshot down - in the other screenshots I cannot make out any pennons at all. Valour makes a huge difference and any such test must be carried out on a level field with equal valour and upgrade stats and 0 star generals on both sides. The bridge scenario also puts the attacker at a huge disadvantage.

The halbs valor is from the general so not moral bonus. They were trained in a provence with a church and relquary. So that would be +3 morale. I agree that is it no the best example, but it was the one on hand. I use them simeratly in open field battles, to intercept any Cav that charge my lines.

The units do get a morale bonus from the general, the bonus from the church and reliquary would also skew the results. Gonig by his personal on the field valour of 10, I would say your general could not have been less than a 5 star?
