Norland – Warrior Mood: Factors and Tips for Improvement

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Misc. Guides / 06 Mar 2024

Hired warriors may desert and leave the village if they are in a bad mood (below 25). Warriors in a good mood (above 80) have increased bravery in battle as well as a greater chance of becoming loyalists.

Tips for improving mood:

Let freshly recruited warriors grow accustomed to the realities of combat before sending them into battle. A new warrior’s fear of death will gradually wear off as they undergo combat training.

Choose lords with a high Command skill to lead your squads.

Do not exhaust the warriors with excessive training and patrols before battle.

Pay your army sufficient wages to afford higher-quality products such as Meat and Ale.

Allocate a separate Temple for the warriors and preach faith in it. This will turn them into fanatics who relish pain. However, this is a dangerous path if you have poor relations with the bishop, as they will be on his side in the event of a religious uprising.

Initiate terror against the culture your warriors hate or pursue policies aligned with their cultural values.
