Best terror build
I want to create an army that makes the enemy army route as fast as possible. Most of these skills come from the Tome of the Doomherald.

Joy Siphoner - each hit gives -3 morale.
Cause Despair - spell that gives -15 morale in a 1-hex radius
Banshee - unit that debuffs morale

The other tome for this is Tome of Subjugation:
Intimidating Aura - enchantment
Tyrant Knight - shock unit debuffs morale

Is there anything else I can get to further debuff morale? There are lots of similarly themed debuffs, like insanity or cull the weak, which can help to round out a build like this. There is also tier V dragon units that have terrifying aura, though I'm not sure how to recruit those.

There is an Enemy Army spell cast on the world map that inflicts demoralised for 1 turn.

For your Lord, the Feudal (?) longsword and shield comes with Intimidating aura. But you can also stack the hero trait terrifying aura on top of that so they have both.

Heroes can also get a ring that doubles the negative morale effect caused by killing enemies.

I don't recall if it exists, but a spell to reduce enemy status resistance would help.

I went with Nightmare mounts which give terrifying aura. I think it also says it gives nightmare mounts to any of my mounted units. Maybe I could try getting more mounted units in my armies so they have that ability

Keep me posted if you try. It'd be interesting if Tyrant Knights on Nightmares with the intimating buff can also have the terrifying buff. That's a potential -23 morale if they attack and the enemy fails it's saves on it's go.

checking on a wiki it says Nightmares give intimating aura, so you can't stack both
