Unit cohesion

[MediumTedium]

I was wondering if my unit morale is 100% and i cannot use entertainment option anymore, is there any other way to increase unit cohesion other than training? Can cohesion increase over time by itself?

battles...

Though I wish cohesion would increase over time.

Damn that sucks, my troops are stuck at 28% cohesion then. Yeah it would be awesome if it would improve over time by a small amount.

Training will also, once you've done it for a few turns, start to drop your unit's morale. Then you can entertain again, and increase their cohesion :)

Yeah but that will increase my unit weekly cost, i don't want to do that.

It'll increase it very slowly, and it will also make them more likely to survive a battle (and do more damage, too!).

Civil work will usually reduce your morale and let you use the entertainment options.  Paying your troops less frequently (7 days or more, I think) will cause them to lose some minor amounts of morale each day, which you can then entertain back up.

.... paying for entertainment would probably cost more...

Thanks for suggestions, um does anyone know how exactly unit cost is calculated with increasing training %?

I think it's something like X modifier (depends on cav/SF/other)*(training as a percent)*(number of men).

It does improve over time.

Unit Status Report   (21 hours, 6 minutes ago)
After resting, 1 of your wounded men recovered by themselves. A total of 1 men are once again ready for battle.
Cohesion of your unit increases by 3 %.
Wear and tear causes 2 % damage to your unit's equipment.
Morale of your troops rises by 6 points.

So the same unit with 30% training, would cost twice as much per week at 60% training?

Check with your military advisor. Within a small range of error, he will tell you.

Done, and confirmed: doubling training doubles weekly pay.

It improves over time only if your men are resting after they were wounded, at least for me it was only when they were resting after injury.
