| An **Undisciplined** unit cannot be put into a simple formation. The different formations squads can be in are **Skirmish**, **Box**, **Line**, **Sparse Line**, and **Double Line**; Undisciplined units can __only__ be in the Skirmish formation. The Skirmish formation spreads units out in a checkerboard pattern, which may be useful in that it reduces the effectiveness of wide-AOE [[Magic]], but it also reduces the Morale of those in the formation by 1. | An **Undisciplined** unit cannot be put into a simple formation.

| More importantly, Undisciplined units **cannot be given orders**. Squads without Undisciplined units can be issued a general command before battle, such as who to attack, whether to favor melee or missile combat, and/or when to start engaging the enemy. Squads with __even one__ Undisciplined unit cannot be given a directive, and so their members will decide what to do on their own. | More importantly, Undisciplined units **cannot be given orders**.

| | Last-but-not-least, Undisciplined troops are terrible at [[rout|routing]], liable to ignore their Commanders and rush off into a random province. Units take a [[Morale]] check to see if they remain in their squad and underneath their Commander, if they and their Commander both rout, and the Undisciplined get -3 to their roll. In most cases, they get a -5 instead, due to their squads being locked in the Skirmish formation; the regular disciplined troops in their squad, also stuck in the formation, only get a -2. |

| [[nidavangr-ma|Nidavangr]] has a commander who can override the Undisciplined trait on troops beneath them; this is the Cub-Mother. This ability does not work on [[Animals]] or the [[Undead]]. | [[nidavangr-ma|Nidavangr]] has a commander who can override the Undisciplined trait on troops beneath them; this is the Cub-Mother.
