Arcade Mode

[Puzz3D]

The Trebia battle in arcade mode, medium difficulty gave:

Hannibal: 800 deployed, 1490 kills, 295 men remaining
Sempronious: 1543 deployed, 623 kills, 261 men remaining

So, morale isn't completley turned off, but it is boosted quite a lot. BTW, the kills and men remaining don't add up.

Guess its like "morale off" in MTW then: just a big morale boost of +12 or something.

Why it doesnt add up is because some of the killed men are only wounded I think.

gah, morale off? hmmm I dont' like the sounds of that - perhaps in the real game we'll just have to mod in more standard morale for all units...

Hmmm so we have been moaning about the more realistic mode and actually we the 'veterans' emotional requirements was for the less realistic arcade mode.

Oh the irony!

Papewaio,

The arcade mode is more realistic than realistic mode. Just go watch the opening of the movie Gladiator and you'll see.

I tried playing without morale today and I have to say it was very nice, no cowards anymore(for whom I never payed money in MTW anyway... ) and it was much more fun watching the battles go on, they fight to the very last man, even when they are surrounded. I will see if I play the full game with morale or not, but I normally tend to disband losers anyway (they get these bad vices, you know... ), but we don´t know what CA has tweaked since the Demo, so I will see when I have the full version.
