The role of "morale" in the game

yes, even the mounted units. Like I said 50%, so about 200 units who turned tail.

Wow , this is something never happened in my games , any chance you killed their leader in the beginning of the battle?

There were multiple leaders involved. So I think that wasn´t a thing. I assume this was only possible because of Khuzait acting unintended. They attacked while they should actually defend. This never happened in any other fight. Only against khuzait and only when they attacked while being weak. And only when tey are in an army. So some conditions needed. But if morale becomes more of a thing, you might see this even in other fights. What would change at least my tactic when engaging in a fight.
P.S.: just remembered something. This also happens when you are in very bad spot and manage to defend yourself. But that is obviously quite risky. And the benfit is larger then usual, but not to the extend I mentioned before.
