Human-controlled Leaders should never auto-route

[velvet path]

Since the idea is that you are that commander, you should have agency and should be able to choose to "go down with the ship" if so desired, this should only affect the commander and no other units

Human-controlled Leaders should never auto-route

[mental solar]

Are you talking about the Throne emergency teleport/getting sent to the void? Or something else? Should only auto rout if morale gets low enough

[velvet path]

Just saying auto-route should not apply to the commander hero specifically

[burnt night]

disagree

[velvet path]

how come?

[burnt night]

bc consequence for having your morale tank that low should stay. Would also make hero stack more dumb than it needs to be.

[velvet path]

there already is a pretty harsh penalty for having morale tank that low (40% fumble chance), and this would only affect the commander, not any hero stack or other units in the commander stack

[harsh ingot]

I agree with this, but I have also never hero stacked, I like just my 1 dragon ruler and then my own faction units

its also never really happened to me, routing that is, but the 1 time it did, it felt pretty stupid, especially since my leader had full health and felt almost invincible, but had to retreat regardless

This would only apply to the commander, not other heroes

[harsh ingot]

oh interesting, sounds already balanced, let's make it happen

[velvet path]

Currently if you have say a stack of 4 units, and 2-3 die in the presence of your commander, the remaining units will incur a recurring morale penalty each turn (unless they are undead, IIRC), after 1-2 turns of super low morale, the commander and the remaining unit will auto-route, if you want to replicate it

please hit the topic with the react if you agree 😁

[elfin karma]

I do agree. Your ruler should be able to last stand even if he's at max fumble chance.
