Question regarding stats

OK, I get it. It used to be that one rank of valour raised attack and defence by one each, and morale by two. Multiplayers may be able to confirm whether that is still the case.

By two? Wow.
An last question, do you know how much certain circumstances decrease the moral? I mean a killed (own) king will influence the moral more than unprotected wings or not? Or are these information secret too?

btw: bersercs are not very impressed by a phalanx^^.

Wow, thx - can I use that (translated for German forums/sites)?

And - it is not possible to increase the charge bonus or the speed of an unit?

If you acknowledge Sinan, I don't think there'd be a problem.

I'm not a modder, but I suspect you can alter those things by editing some of the text files. In game, there's little you can do (I've heard the charge bonus only works against a targeted unit and you need to have built up momentum; you can double click to run of course).

Uphill provides a massive bonus as well: I had militia hoplites v spartan hoplites, with them going uphill and my hoplites defending downhill. The spartans routed, having killed less than 10 of my troops.

I thought about "regulary" things which could increase charge/speed like valour, moral, whatever.
