| {{:dom6:stats:ldr_200.png?nolink }} Competent [[Leadership]] is the best source of Morale. Serving under a Commander with 200 or more (three gold stars) provides +4 Morale. Serving under a Commander with 150-199 (two gold stars) provides +3. Serving under a Commander with 100-149 (one gold star) provides +2. Serving under a Commander with 75-99 (one silver star) provides +1. Serving under a Commander with only 10 Leadership provides -1 Morale, however. These bonuses are further modified (up or down) by [[Inspirational|Inspiration Traits]]. | {{:dom6:stats:ldr_200.png?nolink }} Competent [[Leadership]] is the best source of Morale.

| {{:abilities:undisciplined.png?nolink }} The formation and composition of a unit's squad also impacts their Morale. Lightly packed formations, such as the "Skirmish" and the "Sparse Line", provide -1 Morale. Serving alongside an [[Undead]] being or a [[Demon]] also provides -1 Morale, if you're not one of those types of beings. Lastly, there are units known as [[Standard|Standards]] (short for "Standard-Bearers") who increase Morale for their entire squad, as long as they're not routing (or dead), though their benefits do not stack. | {{:abilities:undisciplined.png?nolink }} The formation and composition of a unit's squad also impacts their Morale.

| {{:abilities:blessed.png?nolink }} A [[Bless|Blessed]] unit has +1 Morale at the very least. There was weirdness in Dominions 5, where [[Independents]] did not benefit from Blessings in any way. Whether this signified a hollowness to their beliefs, or a cut-off from [[holy]] power, was never really explained. | {{:abilities:blessed.png?nolink }} A [[Bless|Blessed]] unit has +1 Morale at the very least.

| New to Dominions 6, spells that only mess with Morale (other than the Blessing spells) now impact a **Morale Bonus** value. This scales from **-10** to **+1**. If the Bonus is **negative**, it increases by 1 point around every 2 rounds, until it gets back to 0. ??Sermon of Courage?? and ??Fanaticism?? both increase the Morale Bonus by 1, while the effects that reduce the Morale Bonus can be broadly classified into two types: | New to Dominions 6, spells that only mess with Morale (other than the Blessing spells) now impact a **Morale Bonus** value.
