The importance of morale in combat cannot be overstated. Each level of morale

gives a +12.5% bonus to the unit, in both offensive and defensive combat.

The most common manner in which a unit’s morale is increased is for it to sur-

vive combat and be promoted, but there are other ways to increase morale of

both individual units and of your military in general. These include:

• Monoliths have been known to increase the morale of individual units (see

Unity Pods and Monoliths, p. 42).

• Base Facilities can increase the morale of units made at that base.

Command Centers provide +2 to land units, Naval Yards provide +2 to sea

units, Aerospace Complexes provide +2 to air units, and Bio-enhancement

Centers provide +2 to all units. Facilities provide morale bonuses only to

units made after the facility’s completion; they do nothing for units already

existing at the time they’re built.

Several base facilities also increase the lifecycle of any native units bred. The

following confer +1 lifecycle bonus: Biology Lab, Centauri Preserve and

Temple of Planet.

• Secret Projects

• Social Engineering (see Social Factors, p. 141)
