Learning taisho has an idiot question.

It's not much: Does a low morale influence the fighting of a unit??

**Ghost of Rom** · 02-28-2005, 13:16

Morale is the name of the game so to speak. When the number drops(by taking so many percent of casualties, being flanked, outnumbered, taking missile fire, etc.) to a certain level your unit runs away

so the higher the morale the longer those men will stand and fight

No, he asked if a unit with the morale lowered during battle gets fighting penalties. And no, it doesn't; but you really must try and convince it to keep fighting

**Wilbo** · 02-28-2005, 14:21

Yes morale does affect the fighting of a unit - with low morale a unit will run away rather than fight.

Factors that affect morale in battle include being outnumbered, being shot with arrows, being charged in the flank or rear... Anything else, anyone?

That's right, Rom misunderstood me.

[QUOTO=Nowake]And no, it doesn't; but you really must try and convince it to keep fighting

OK, thanks for the information, but how do i convince them to keep fiighting?

I must have done something wrong with the quote. . .

haha, i'm bit stupid!!!! :-(

Ways you can convince them to keep fighting: Good morale (palaces, high honor); leading them with a good general; dont let your general die; dont let your units get flanked/reared; try to avoid heavy casualties; try to not get too heavily outnumbered; avoid being shot with arrows where possible.
