Flying Archers Gone Wild(ly Wrong)

Your lead archer is unit with ID number 3986

How do you know that ID? Do you run the game under debug options? Can we know the ID if there's no battle report?

A few more tricks.

Units in grouops of 3 or less get morale checks every round. Don't do it.

Also, if you have a group of 4, the lost of 1 will immediately put you in check. Whereas if you add 2, the loss of 1 will not result in a morale check.

Moral: pay attnetion to squad size and composition for morale.

@ano: You have to run the game in debug mode to see the ID. You know which one is the lead unit by looking in the log - it says something like "Unr 3986 bla bla order 0", followed by something like "grouping other units bla bla" or some such.

@chris: I thought it was groups of 4 that get morale checks every round.

Psycho/Chrispedersen,

Thanks a lot for the analysis and suggestions. I could not see an archer losing an arm. I watched the battle a few times but could not figure it out, obviously I should use debug mode - how?
While I'm asking about utilities, is there a (good) battle simulator anywhere?

Thanks again, Jorus

You can see it in the normal battle replay.

K is the eagle king in the center of your army. X is the square with 2 archers - one of them is the lead archer. He starts the battle healthy. During second round the volley of TC arrows hits him, makes 5 damage and takes his arm.
