integrety??

[jake_kile]

I keep getting message "this force has low integrety". What does this mean and how do you correct this in AOC??? I have had one force saying this for 25 or so turns but nothing happens.
I have tried giving commander more moral and tried more loylty, but this message is just annoying now. Is there a mod that midigates this stuff??

thanks

It can be increased by winning battles and army traits

Integrity is easy to manage. Simply understand that integrity is your armies willingness to fight and die for you. There are several ways to increase your armies integrity.

1. General - when your general levels up, he can unlock integrity traits. Such as "Legatus", the very first level Roman General's level up trait.
2. Army - when your army levels up, they can also unlock integrity traits. Such as "Limitanei", again very first unlock for Roman armies.
3. Politics - Your political party within your faction needs to be respected. Armies don't wish listening to weak politicians.
4. Technology - Some military technologies increase integrity, so research them.

How to increase integrity in short term:
5. Win a Battle - Army is willing to fight for you if you are bringing them victories.
6. Decimate - You can perform this action to execute troublesome soldiers within your army.

I believe when the integrity reaches zero, the entire force will rebell and turn against you. So thats why you should manage it. However i dont think this has ever happened to anyone because it's verry easy to manage.
When you hover over the integrity bar you can see the current factors influencing the change of the integrity.

In addition to what RobiePAX wrote, you can also get +4 integrity by going into fortified stance.

Sitting still for one turn also gives +1 the subsequent turn, so long as you don't move. So in the short term, you can get +5 just by fortifying and sitting still.

Different agents can give integrity boost to the army they are embedded into, depending on their skills and ancilliaries.

Also, since you say this is AoC, keep in mind War Fervor: if War Fervor reaches negative levels, armies will start to lose integrity. Having a civil war going on inside your faction will also lower integrity.

PS: As Keeper of the Groove says, if integrity reaches 0, the army will go into rebellion.

You will not necessarily see the entire army turn into brigands/rebels though: some units may simply disband altogether.

It is rare to have armies rebel, but it is easier to see on VH/Legendary, because the maluses are quite high.
