Morale Gauge

The main objective of every non-story battle is to force the enemy warband to rout before your warband. A warband will have a chance to rout when their Morale Gauge reaches a threshold.

Each warband has a total amount of Morale in their Warband Morale Pool displayed in the top left of the screen. Your warband Morale Gauge is displayed in blue, while the enemy warband's is shown in red. This value is based on the level of the warband, the number of warriors in the warband and their individual Morale statistics. Some warbands will have naturally larger (Sisters of Sigmar) or smaller (Skaven Clan Eshin) Morale Pools due to their warriors naturally higher or lower Morale statistics.

If a warrior falls Out of Action, that warrior's Morale Impact statistic is subtracted from the warband's remaining Morale Pool. The gauge will deplete and the remaining Morale will be displayed above that warband's Morale Gauge. If this drop in Morale crosses the 40% threshold, displayed as a value in the lower half of the Morale Gauge, it will trigger a Rout Test at the start of the warrior in this warband's turn. Failing this test will result in the warband routing and ending the battle.

When taking a Rout Test, a roll will be made using the Leader's Leadership stat against the percentage of Morale remaining in the pool. If the Leader is Out of Action, the Hero with the next highest Leadership will take the test. Stunned Leaders and Heroes do not get a chance to roll. If the Leader and all Heroes are Out of Action or Stunned, the test will automatically fail and the warband is guaranteed to rout.

If the warband passes their Rout Test, the battle will continue and the warband will take turns as normal until they lose more Morale. This will trigger another, higher difficulty Rout Test. Warbands will automatically rout if they have no warriors left standing.

Stealing a warband's Idol will result in a loss of Morale and may trigger a Rout Test, but this Morale can be restored by returning the Idol to the warband's cart.
