Morale Penalties

[Tomisama]

I was under the impression that your army suffers an imediate -8 morale penalty when your gen is killed/rout which is reduced to a permanent -2. But if your general routs (-8) and then gets captured it's another -8.

There must be something in place like that.

Otherwise you are telling me that I should keep a unit that by it’s presence only brings a +2 morale to “it’s self” under certain circumstances. When the loss of that unit brings a potential loss of 120 morale temporarily and 30 morale permanently (- 8 and -2 moral respectively for each of the remaining units) “to my army” in total .

That’s +2 versus -30, not a good trade off. The benefits too small to balance the risk, even considering the missing 16th unit argument.

There must be something more to this…
