A newbie asks...

As ever, thanks, much clearer! I suspect the random units are down to any number of possible mental oversights

But clearly not PD.

So if I win a battle in my PD province, my PD is straight back to whatever I bought. If I lose --- or the AI loses against me --- do I assume the "province winning" power inherits PD back at 0?

Yes, if someone wins a province it wipes out PD and Temples. Those are considered to be loyal to your pretender.
If you are going to lose a province and want to "salt the earth" (deny them resources) then castles, labs, population, and peace (unrest) have to be destroyed manually by you before you leave.

Gandalf, do you ever sleep? Are you ever not here?

That used to be true, but then they stopped paying me.

Now its more like 1-2 days on, and 2-4 days off depending on health.

A morale question (I think), if I may...

Is there any benefit for troops to be near their commander in battle? Maybe morale? Otherwise, can I set up, say, some members way up top-left and other members way down bottom-right and their commander elsewhere, and it makes no difference?

On a related note, I noticed Redeyes saying weak PD could cause elite troops to rout. So I'm guessing routing troops cause others to undergo/fail morale checks?

(P.S. What did I just read about "squads of less than 4 members having to undergo special morale checks"?)
