Army morale keeps dropping

[Jypa]

How does army morale work? So far I've won every battle but still my army morale keeps on dropping even if I choose "Celebration" at the end of a battle. It just drops less. Is there a way to actually increase army morale other than assigning social pretorian to bath house?

Currently playing on hard difficulty. I think my current army morale is -26 and it drops like -6 per battle even if I win it and choose celebration at the end.

Build bath house and put a social pretorian there and leave it.

Yea, never had a problem after that and morale is constantly at 100 !!!! Weird game system.....a guy in the bath makes morale 100 ! LOL

Romans were crazy about baths. It was there go for social life. Instead going to the pub / club you go to the baths.

I assume the comment was more about it being strange that one of your praetorians just hanging around the baths all the time raises the morale of your entire legion. Is he a great comedian or maybe so beautiful that everyone stares at him and feels better?

I know, it's more of a game mechanic where you allocate a resource (praetorian) to a building and get the benefit. Presumably he's there managing the baths and the numerous attending servants. Still, it's funny to think about just what that single praetorian is really doing to raise the morale of the entire legion.

He has to have the social skill to get the legion morale up. He organize the best parties at the pool. The entire legion is invited to the pool party.

Is that the only way to increase morale? Even the pretorian in the camp says morale is low but winning couple of battles should increase it. The thing is, I've won all of my battles but morale is still going down. I've never chosen stratagems that give negative morale either.

There is resolution cards at the end of legion battles and during legion battles, some pay denari to get morale boost. Some quests also.
Morale for the legion is not going down if it wasn't affected by legion battles and some quests. At least for me.

I stuck it out until you can build bath and stuff an NPC there with the skill to improve morale. It's the skill with the chat bubble icon.

Once you get to that, your morale issues are fine.

That isn't the case for me. In the last battle I fought. I won it and chose the "Celebration" in the end which gives bonus morale. Still my net morale was -6 after the battle. I didn't use any stratagems that lower morale.

Every stratagem you use in legion battle may have a positive morale or negative morale attached to it. And during legion battles the legion can gain or loose morale.
