Banner driven Morale

Banner influenced morale doesn't seem to show up in adjacent units per the unit's Morale summary screen.

All done behind the scenes? Odd that fear (iirc) does seems to show up. Perhaps I am just full of hooey.

You are indeed full of hooey, sorry! It's easy to see when playing something like the bretonnia mod nation, but try making an army of nothing but standard bearers as pythium and you'll see that the morale does in fact rise visibly. The thing is it's not very consistent, and the banner effect is applied every turn. It also doesn't seem to go up beyond +5 to morale for any given unit.

It doesn't stack, I think. Morale boosts up to the standard bonus. I assume it eventually drops back down if moved away from any standards.

What it's really good for is countering fear, since it will be applied every turn, unlike other sources of morale boosts.

Thanks for the replies. Ran a test as MA Man and a Bard with banner did seem to work on his Wardens.. Perhaps the earlier banner issue (different nation) was a second hand knock-off and not inspiring in any way...
