Brothers, Sisters, Siblings!
With the war against the vile Abysians we need strong leadership! For too long have tribe fought tribe, city fought city, lizard against fish against enkidu! In these troubled times a nation divided against itself cannot stand! The Elders of all the tribes and all of the city have gathered here today in the First City, to affirm the principles of Overplentiful Waters! The hereby declare the formation of Fikilpad Umma-se-dab Taka-sahdar Alugal-ak-aba, or the Communistic City-state Union under Plentiful Waters! Lizard, fish and enkidu shall all walk together hand-in-hand against the enemies of our united peoples!
The sickle forms half of the symbol of CCUPW, for we are dedicated to the teachings of fertility, prosperity and freedom espoused by our loving and wonderful god. All property is your property, Sibling! Private property is a yoke laid by the enemies of our peoples! By casting off our yoke and enjoying our old lifestyles, the lifestyles of our ancestors, CCUPW will be more bountiful than ever! Under the wise guidance of our sacred priests and their helpers all property, food and livestock shall be distributed fairly, so that all may enjoy peace and prosperity!
The hatchet forms half of the symbol of CCUPW, for we are committed to defending our cities and our lands from the hated enemies no matter what the cost! But we cannot stand idly by while other peoples of the world are oppressed and trodden upon! The armies of CCUPW have already liberated a slave camp erected by the vile Abysians. If we are not vigilant then we too shall suffer the same fate, attacked from all sides! The hardships shall be many, but our way is just and the end is clear! A life of peace, happiness and fertility for all!
Let our enemies tremble at our coming! Under Overplentiful Waters we are united, and we will not falter! CCUPW will spread across the land, and with it happiness! Together we cannot fall! Forward Siblings!
Of course, naturally, it's the third one who is sending the ridiculously large army to kill me, but in this case, they struck first* and got their initial force completely slaughtered, causing me to overestimate the squishiness of their troops and send my armies on that border in to what appeared to be an undefended province, only to have them almost completely wiped out...
Actually you only killed around 8~ troops. The rest fled and ended up scattered around my lands. Also, mages are awesome. Really awesome.
P.S. I'm a little stunned that anyone has a 230-unit army just sitting around. We're probably going to get crushed, since my armies tend to be around 200 units smaller (due to an inability to get enough gold, even with turning fire gems into gold, to hire many troops per turn, and because my 60-gold-each salamanders run away IN EVERY SINGLE BATTLE).
Not having to fight 3 nations really helps to concentrate your forces. Also not having to recruit 60 gold units helps too.
I tried putting a slave collar on an animal trainer in an attempt to rectify the problem, but it didn't seem to change anything (I don't think I understand morale at all). (Oh, and the army-setting-up screen makes it look like salamanders have higher morale under my regular warlord guys than under animal trainers, but I guess it just isn't showing the +3. This is part of the reason I'm confused, though.)
Morale is done by squad and for commander. So putting the slave collar on your animal trainers does nothing for your Salamander's morale. However, mixing in a few high-morale units with your Salamanders would, since they'd bump the average morale of the squad. It does work, I've done it with Elephants before.
