Let's Play with Orcs

Burning, poisoned, helpnessness, bleeding, pygmy, cursed, etc...

Isn't it so that 2 or more negative effects give a total of -2 morale, not -1 for each negative effect? That's why I said +5 morale -2 morale = still +3 morale.

Are you sure about that? I seem to remember this ability from before, at least with the original ogre unit, if not the whole race...

I re-loaded an old save, and you are right - it was present there, and yes, it gave +10 morale back then too. I just never had any of my stacks, not even summoned ones, getting killed by Orcs to notice.

Oh? I thought negative morale keeps stacking. I'm not sure.

Even so, if you were using demons and undead with the orcs (any other negative racial modifier), you could start with -3 morale or something even worse, PLUS negative status, and then kill... to regain High Morale.

I think it opens up some interesting possibilities. My orc team has certainly enjoyed it. It also gave me some ideas on a demonic team as well since the Pentagram gives a +2 morale bonus. Hmmmm 100% critical demons?
