-===== General =====+A few other exceptions: Morale 30 units will not retreat from defending a fort storm (they are smart enough to know that they will die if they do). Immortals, as a special case, will not retreat even if their army takes overwhelming casualties ("HP rout"); they know they'll just reform a few months later, so fighting a valiant last stand is at most a temporary inconvenience for them.

   * Being exposed to [[Fear]] aura or spells with fear effects temporarily lowers morale. This seems to recover by 3 approximately every 5000 [[ticks]]. No single or combination of fear effects may lower morale by more than 5, however.   * Being exposed to [[Fear]] aura or spells with fear effects temporarily lowers morale.

 Furthermore, if an army has lost 75% of its starting health, it will rout automatically. ??Province defense?? units count as a quarter of their total HP for the purpose of this calculation. [[Combat summons]] from spells like ??Horde of Skeletons?? count as part of the army's current health (but not its starting health), and thus can prevent an army from routing after losing far more than 75% of its units. Furthermore, if an army has lost 75% of its starting health, it will rout automatically. ??Province defense?? units count as a quarter of their total HP for the purpose of this calculation.

-===== Exceptions ===== 
  
-  * Morale 50 units are [[mindless]] and will not retreat for any reason, although they can fall apart when left without proper leadership. 
-  * Units that have gone [[berserker|berserk]] have 99 morale and will never rout for any reason, as long as they are still berserking. Note that units stop berserking and can rout if they fall unconscious because their [[fatigue]] goes above 100, though they may go berserk again after waking up. 
-  * [[Immortal]] units will never retreat due to army HP loss. 
-  * Morale 30 units, such as [[Pretender|pretenders]] and [[prophet|prophets]], will never retreat when defending a a stormed fort. 
-  * Morale 30 cannot be boosted any higher.
