Troop Morale Issue

[Russian Guard]

I posted this in the Support section as this may pertain to the new patch, 1.2.25/6...

Playing 1805, Russians, "General level" of difficulty.

I have constructed 7 Barracks in Moscow along with 7 Factory levels. I have the Economics settings at 20-31 years of age for recruits and 20 months of training, resulting in a recruit troop morale of 5.0.

It is late 1809 and Divisions I am building at Moscow - Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry - have a starting Morale of 4.0...shouldn't it be 5.0?

Or is there something I am unaware of...?

The Economics settings give the morale of reinforcements; this actually has nothing to do with the morale of newly created units.

Artillery should be starting with Russia's base morale value plus .05 for every Barracks plus .2 for every Factory.  Infantry should have Russia's base morale plus .1 for every Barracks.  Ships should get .05 for Barracks plus .2 for every Shipyard.

Doh! I knew that - yet had forgotten...

Hmmm...I went back into the game mentioned above and did a test. I created a standard Inf division and an Art division, at Moscow. Note that Moscow has 7 Barracks and 6 (not 7, I miscounted previously) factories.

Infantry Division morale at "birth" - 4.36

This makes sense if the added morale per Barracks is .05, not .1 (or .1 x Barracks /2) although I wonder where the extra .01 came from, a FRU of some kind...? If barracks indeed add .1 to morale then something isn't working right.

Art Division morale at "birth" - 4.2

Not sure what to make of this one, but the numbers you suggest above don't match up, and I can't figure how the .2 added morale can match up in any way with any combination of numbers that might be added by 6 Factories and 7 Barracks (but then I'm no math whiz by any stretch).

Please help - I'm not normally a min-max'r but in this case I consider this issue (morale) important enough to need to understand it thoroughly.

Thanks Eric

NEVER mind - nothing to see here, move along...I figured it out. Told ya I wasn't a math wizard...
