CAESAR II
66
Each Cohort will have both a Morale rating and a
Battle Readiness status.
Morale refers to the spirit and eagerness of the
soldiers to fight. It is expressed in battles as a
number between 0 (low morale) and 100 (high
morale). If a Century’s morale is 0, it will refuse to
fight.
Battle Readiness refers to a minimum number of
soldiers (100) required before a Cohort is strong
enough to act as an independent fighting unit. In
other words, a Cohort will only take the initiative to
attack an enemy without your orders if it has at
least 100 soldiers. If a Cohort has fewer than 100
soldiers, it can still fight and win (with your orders),
even though it is not considered Battle Ready.
To issue orders to a Cohort on the Province Level, use
the Order Cohort button (see Order Cohort,
page 53).
