Morale changes

[Bronnen]

Can you imagine how much it would SUCK to crap yourself in a suit of platemail+helm? Not to mention the chafing, chance of infected hemorrhoids from dysentery-like "eruption", and having to be shield-buddies with a guy who smells like a giant tin can of rotted gluteous maximus...

That was kind of what they did though. They didn't have time to take off all their armor, they just went where they were lol. It's kind of part of the package.

[CryptCypher]

Bronnen, ah - the glories of medieval warfare. :P

"Oi, knight, ya scared boy?! Ya done shat yerself!"

"Couldnat git me vambraces an trousers off, damn armor-straps locked tighter than a virgin's arse!"

"Aye, thas why some bathe in the river, wash off the blood and !@#$ real proper"

[Medron Pryde]

That approximates my experience as well.

My units most often lose between 5 and 10% morale after fighting a victorious battle.  And they lose between 11 and 20% morale after a losing battle.

I can't remember ever gaining morale after a battle.

[Zakky]

Yeah. That's why I created this page. I think winning battles should increase your morale unless you took heavy losses. If you've managed to retreat orderly, you should not lose as much morale compared to getting scattered. Scattered should probably lower your morale greatly, forcing you to take a turn or two leaking your wounds.

[Stabbity]

Even winning battles can be bad for morale. People died. Your men saw horrific things, and worst of all, actually had to do something, instead of sit around and get paid. Who wants to fight a battle anyway? Psychopaths.

[Vita`]

I concur with Stabbity.

[Anaris]

So do I, but I think the numbers are still a bit low right now.

[Zakky]

So do I, but I think the numbers are still a bit low right now.

I think when your unit scatters, you should be at the brink of losing your entire unit by lowering your morale close to 20.

[Stabbity]

At the same time, a unit coming out of a major battle largely unscathed that already had kind of lowish morale should have a chance to gain morale, from the "Holy !@#$, we actually survived." sheer relief factor.

Or when you win a battle you had a less chance of winning. Either CS difference or number of men difference.
