Copying this from another thread. Greg is starting morale now figured differently? If Army intensity 30 means that your army is pushed back then any large battle or bigger means it happens on the 1st round.



Automatic Actions, Full
Certain Army Intensity levels are thresholds that trigger Automatic Events.
• When Army Intensity is 0 or less at the start of a second consecutive round, the entire enemy army routs. You have attained a Decisive Victory. Enemy unit maneuver is Run Away, and your unit may Chase.
• When Army Intensity is 0 or less at the start of a round, the entire enemy army hesitates. Heroes among them may attempt to Rally the Battalion (entirely at Gamemaster’s discretion). Enemy unit maneuver is Withdraw, Player units may Follow.
• When Army Intensity is 10 or less at the start of two consecutive rounds, the enemy army signals a general retreat at the start of the second round. Heroes among them might attempt the maneuver of Encourage Battalion (entirely at Gamemaster discretion). Enemy unit maneuver is Withdraw, Player units may Follow.
• Army Intensity from 11-29 has no automatic events
• When Army Intensity is 30 at the start of a round, your army has been pushed back and suffered significant losses. Your unit may attempt to Encourage the Battalion at this time.
• When Army Intensity is 30 at the start of two consecutive rounds, your army commander signals a general Retreat at the start of the second round. By command, all of your army’s units attempt to execute a Withdraw maneuver.
• When Army Intensity is 40 at the start of a round, your army is hesitating, wavering; and in the rear ranks the infantry are already moving away. In this round the maneuver of Rally the Battalion may be attempted.
• When Army Intensity is 40 at the start of a second consecutive round, your army routs. You have suffered a Decisive Defeat. Run.
In all cases, the First Charge (Round 1) Army Intensity counts towards the “two rounds in a row” to trigger an Automatic Event.

I think this was amended in some other thread here. Battle size now affects UNIT INTENSITY (if i remember correctly): thus all battles of whatever size start with a basic battle intensity of 20, and its this value that has to reach 30/40/0/10 to have the effects you enumerate in you post.

I missed that. At present I just adjust BI for things such as being outnumbered, facing superior troops, etc, which seems to work fairly well. I thought I read something a while ago about BI being figured differently but couldn't find the exact rule. Thanks for the clarification.
