Battle Morale ?

[POWER]

I think it's a good idea because that would make the combat system more balanced. It could be based on culture, power and other factors on your civilization. What do you think.

I think it would get a bit annoying after a while, having to keep your troops happy. Citizens are enough for me.

No - it'd get too confusing it's not that its a bad idea

 

[POWER]

No no you don't understand i meant that what you all ready had not having to. more like a bonus. okay

Ermm i dont understnad what you mean - moral in civ3 is one of the thigns in battle that comes down to the dice (like the weather or descisions by individual soldiers)

Until the AI can recognize it's getting crushed in a war and agree to peace at a (more or less) reasonable price, I don't see the point in tweaking things.

I think what POWER is trying to say how morale can balance the current battle system. I agree that morale can play an important role. A unit of half strenght elite will have better morale than a unit of full strenght regulars!

An example of how this would work in Civ3:

Veteran - get 25% bonus in dice roll
Elite - get 50% bonus in dice roll
Unit at half hp - get -25% in dice roll

So a veteran unit with half hp left fights like a regular full strenght army... etc.
