National Morale

National Morale is used to represent the willingness of a civilian population (and its military forces) to ‘continue the
fight’. Having a high National Morale total indicates that a populace is more inclined to support the war effort; a
low National Morale total is an indication that the people are close to giving up. 

In some AGEOD games (AACW, RoP, NCP), a high National Morale may trigger an Automatic Victory while conversely a low National Morale may trigger an Automatic Defeat.  In these games, winning a scenario by reaching the Automatic Victory threshold should be viewed as a Major Victory whereas winning by virtue of having more Victory Points is a Minor Victory.

National Morale is also used to modify unit cohesion, the production of supplies, and the accumulation of money.


== Calculating National Morale ==
 
Each side (e.g. FRA or GBR) is given a National Morale total at the start of
each scenario. As with Victory Points, National Morale is calculated each turn and a running total is displayed in the
top left corner of the Main Screen. Unlike Victory Points, however, a player’s National Morale total can be (and
often is) reduced by events that occur during a turn.

== National Morale and Unit Cohesion ==
 
National Morale affects unit cohesion (reflecting the fact that military
forces with high morale are generally more combat-efficient). A high National Morale also increases the speed at
which Cohesion is recovered. For every two NM above 100, a unit’s maximum cohesion total is increased by 1%.
For every two NM below 100, a unit’s maximum cohesion total is reduced by 1%.


== National Morale and Supply Production ==
 
National Morale affects the amount of supplies produced by supply
sources. For every two NM above 100, the amount of supplies produced by a supply source is increased by 1%. For
every two NM below 100, the amount of supplies produced by a supply source is reduced by 1%.
For example: A side which has a National Morale of 80 (i.e. 20 points less than 100) would experience a 10%
reduction in unit cohesion. In addition, the overall number of replacement troops available would also be reduced by
10%. Supply sources would produce 10% fewer supply points.
