What is party morale?

“Morale represents the ability and willingness of the troops in a party to summon up the endurance, bravery, and discipline they need to face the stresses of battle and the march”

This means that morale has the “greatest impact on a party’s behavior in battle”

Determining how aggressively troops engage the enemy and how likely they are to break and run away if they perceive the tide of battle turning against them.

It also affects the party’s march speed as a less motivated party will move more slowly as the men are not pushing themselves to physical limit.

A party with a very low morale will start to suffer desertions
de·ser·tion
the action of deserting a person, cause, or organization.

Now that we know what is a party morale let’s move on to how to stop losing party morale.

How to stop losing party morale

To stop losing party morale let us first look at some factors that hurts and penalizes our party morale.

  • Starvation
  • Losing Battles
  • Recruiting Prisoners
  • Fighting too many times a day
  • Waging war against faction-based troop’s home
  • Failing Quests
  • Party Size
  • Inability to pay wages
  • Killing friendly troops

  • Starvation
    “Food is very important for your party. Each type of food which you have in your inventory gives your party morale, and consequently, if you run out of food, you will lose morale. Food can be bought at goods merchants in towns, or from the Village Elder at villages. Gradually, your party will eat the food, reducing its quantity”
    So to avoid starvation you need to always have different kinds of foods in your inventory like sausage, cheese, chicken, smoked fish, etc.

  • Losing battles
    Self explanatory
    Stop losing battles

  • Recruiting Prisoners
    “You may attempt to recruit prisoners into your party through the Camp menu once every
    24hours”

    “This may allow you to acquire a specific unit without having to train them yourself, or may give you a quick boost to your troop numbers. However, doing so comes at a cost to Morale of -3 for every prisoner that accepts your offer.”
    If you recruit prisoners often it may bring down your morale to very low so avoid recruiting prisoners.
