Learn how Generals impact morale and unit performance in Total War: Rome II. Keep your General safe and inspire your troops.
Generals in Total War: Rome II are vital for maintaining army morale. If your General is defeated in battle, the morale of your own troops can plummet, leading to potential defeat. Conversely, eliminating the enemy General can severely damage enemy morale and turn the tide of a battle.
Units receive performance buffs when a General is nearby. It is recommended to position your General behind your infantry lines. This placement keeps the General safe from direct harm while still inspiring the infantry engaged in combat. A General participating in combat and securing kills can further strengthen morale and improve the General's traits.
Warning: A dead General kills morale. Do not overuse your General in risky engagements, especially as Cavalry, as their demise will negatively impact your army's fighting spirit.
- Prioritize eliminating the enemy General to break their army's morale.
- Protect your own General by keeping them positioned behind your front-line infantry.
- Ensure your General is close enough to inspire your troops but not so close as to be in immediate danger.
- A General fighting alongside your troops can improve their traits.
