very weird, routing vampire count army

**Valiant Champion** · August 04, 2012, 07:43 PM

I was attacking zhufbar with a dwarf army. Too my surprise in the city fighting skeletons, wraiths, graveguard etc etc all routed.

I checked the EDU and they are all lock_morale.

How can this be?

Since playing call of warhammer for years I have never seen this happen.

Is it the campaign ai? or perhaps some kind of ancillary or trait?

Are you sure? As you stated that sounds impossible...

And I'm backing that up. That blasphemous issue happened once to me and it happened in Zhufbar too, except that I was defending against a Vampire army. It was...odd...to say the least.

I admit though, I'm relieved they routed, my dwarves were VASTLY outnumbered...and they had elites...

*ramble ramble ramble*

Maybe Dwarves scare the crap out of them, or Zhufbar creates some kind of mystical aura that allows them to feel fear?

craziest thing I ever saw to bypass the EDU stats like that. must be something in the campaign ai script. I was using the dwarve king and his special ability included the dwarfs grudge or rage of the dwarf or something like that.

I'm curious: did the enemy have those screaming skull catapults? I've only had limited experience with them, but so far what I've found is that ANYTHING it touches starts routing. I don't know if it works similarly on their own troops- only suggesting it because it seems like a special ability, which might inadvertently bypass their morale lock if it hit them instead of you.

Sorry if that's a noob suggestion. I'm still figuring out the complexities of this mod.

no catapult involved.

This happened to me just a few moments ago while playing as Wisseland and taking the blood keep. The zombies, skeletons hell even the grave guard routed left and right. I tested and saw that the locked morale was in place for every undead vampire unit, so I don't know what the heck happened. My only clues? I already killed their general and I used my general ability oath of allegiance.

I quickly went to replay the battle without a general with that ability and then the skeletons didn't run. I'm bound to think that the oath of allegiance, at least at sieges, has something to do with this.

Yep, just tested it. I went to siege and fought the undead for a while, all is normal. I activate the oath of allegiance and they star to run. After like 15 minutes they go back to normal again.
