Reply to Morale is broken in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Frogboy, After having a chance to play around with a saved game where I'd just been hit with a massive loss of morale, I think that kind of problem that a lot of us are seeing is due to destabilization. You're right in that it's really the only thing that seems to be able to cause that kind of a sudden, massive hit. Maybe not so sudden but unless you keep an eye on it there's no feedback to let you know it's happening. I have to start out by saying one thing. I w

Hi, I hope this post isn't taken as a troll, especially since this is my first post here, but I've been playing GalCiv since release and I just can't see any other way to descibe how morale works.
