One feature that sets Conflict of Nations apart is the aspect of national morale.
Maintaining a healthy, national morale is vital as it affects your production, troop mobilization, and reduces the risk of insurgency. While every province has its own morale indicator, several factors, such as warcrimes, can influence all your provinces' morale at the same time.
Province Morale
Morale plays a vital role in your nation's efficiency. It increases/decreases over time and is influenced by several factors. The morale for each province is updated with every in- game day-change. You can gain an overview of your provinces' morale by toggling the **Population Morale** overlay via the Settings & Info Pane.
Civillian Casualties
Your population has a direct effect on the overall morale. Every unit has population damage which translates into civilian casualties in the game. The more population you kill, the bigger the morale penalty you will receive.
What Affects Morale?
Some factors that affect your population's morale include:
- Availability of Resources - Citizens need certain goods to be efficient members of society. Make sure your population's basic needs are met. These are 'Supplies' and 'Money', should these be in red, or zero - there will be an impact on population morale. Click on the 'i' button next to Production Per Day on the province bar to view the upkeep of the city.
- Distance to headquarters
- War - Nobody likes war. Being at war with other countries has a negative impact on population morale.
- Morale of neighboring provinces - A revolutionist mood can spread across province borders, including those of neighboring countries.
- Enemy armies - Combat in your territory will have a negative impact on your people's morale, including artillery attacks on your cities and provinces. Also, neighboring enemy provinces also have a negative impact on your morale.
- Enemy agents might also reduce your morale
- Killing civilians: population damage reduces morale significantly.
