Can someone explain how the morale skills work?

[FlyinJ]

I don't really understand how the morale skills work.

It says "1 less morale impact for having this type of unit in the army".

I thought ok, I have 1 finesse unit with 4 order units and the morale is an "O" face icon. From that description, if I put some points into "1 less morale impact for finesse units", that should make the "O" face turn into a happy face, right? It doesn't. I saved the game and put 5 points into "finesse causes less morale impact" and nothing changed the faces to happy.

How does this actually work?

Order and Finesse would be indifferent to each other, try order and anarchy or power and finesse. I think that's how you get penalties.

it removes penalties, but can not raise morale. the best it can do is remove enough penalties to make it neutral. units get a 1 morale bonus for being in an army of all the same type, all power for example. outside of that you need gear to raise it. the moral skills are only worth anything with mixed armies that dont like one another, but you still need gear to get morale above neutral in that case.

Ah ok great, thanks!

In a related question-

Am I supposed to be building multiple armies in reserve? Like a Power army, a Finesse army, etc? Will I need different army types for later battles?

All that 1 morale does is give units a 10% chance to act twice. Is that worth it? Eh...not sure.

Each point of morale gives a 10% bonus to act twice.

So if you use all of one faction of units, and get one morale boosting item that is a 20% chance of acting twice...

If you can get two moral bonus from gear, then it absolutely is worth it to use one faction at a 30% chance of acting twice

Hi does the people attack twice? For me from a moment it stop procing twice in a turn, despite having order morale 2.

what happens with negative morale? There's a chance your affected unit skips its turn?
