But when you make morale, I hope there will be some kind of command units. A sergeant, who can put them together (or at least can try it) when they brake, who leads them etc. , perhaps a mussician, standart bearer etc. with some kind of bonus to morale, fighting stats etc.

Of course that should not make a unit immune to morale loss.. but would give squads more possibilities to add things to them and give them some more "life".

We should be adding morale to the units - but it will take a likely in November.

Morale system will not only make fights more familiar and realistic, but help you protect your units in PvP fights, units that run away will live to fight another day

I totally agree. This should be a good system that will separate strategy masters from novices

Losing morale VS undeads and demons obviousy, that should be a must.

would depend who's fighting no. Orcs probably dont really care if its a demon or a undead, also paladins or "knight" probably woulodnt be shaken by such either. ,just that it can be bashed, and conquered. thought it might be dissapointed theres very little meat to eat off a undead (skeleton). I do however believe undead should have no moral.

Indeed undead shouldn't have any, but apart from some units (like knights, etc) at least undeads should have something such as "terror aura" or "fear aura" that makes the normal units (regular soldiers mostly) cower in fear and/or reduce their morale, that would be really interesting tactically speaking

Have only one problem with this idea why are the huge green brutes who love to fight have the lowest morale but the peace loving flower tending unicorn keepers have the highest? Goblins I can see having the lowest as they are small and weak but the idea of the guys who fight at any chance they get getting scared in combat the easyest doesnt sit right with me lol.

I'd give it a system which depends on how the battle is going raises or lowers moral. Elfs don't want to fight to begin with loving all life forms so should have low morale at start but they fight harder the more damage they take.

Orcs love to fight and outnumber the enemy so should have high morale when around their own units but break easy when outnumbered or far from the others.

Humans somewhere in the middle.
