This effectand the opposite of high morale, this worsens infantry unit status, -1 damage -1 armor / p.armor.

*demoralize

Good idea imho. The only question is - what kind of units could have this aura.

In a history stand of view soldier's that are scary looking like the Vikings will fit it perfectly.
Or organised nation's like the roman army but imo they are pretty good already.

It we go with the Viking race or soldier's that were described as fearful looking in history, maybe rename demoralise to fear or intimidating so it matches their character?

Nordic unit!
That's right - nordic hall could have additional one trained.
Idea - Superior axe thrower, which costs more and has demoralizing aura.

Is better to add this ability in viking berserk.

That would need total change of berserk - ergo new topic.
But it fits perfectly.

Fear(demoralize) whatever
Should be added to all shock troops like the berzerkers
Polish Hussars
And i dont know any other shock troop in game

And maybe add this effect in some cavalry,but i guess have no bonus to spear units,because spear units aren't doing much damage, and putting that effect on some cavalry can be a little off balance.

but still spear units are infantry ... this should be further debated, or spear units do not gain this disadvantage or have this disadvantage , but only by foot units (infantry). And the reason is that he has nothing to fear, he has a weapon that almost instantly kills cavalry ... is a good explanation, and perhaps there need be no further debate on this issue.

Actually in real life horses are afraid of spears, pikes and other polearms cause they are aware that they can die horses don't charges idiotically to pikemen and that is an example of psychological warfare which is connected to fear and shock troops. So I propose a change since we're gonna have fear to shock troops that will make enemy infantry afraid and weak about also give more units camel fear like give every polearm something like camel fear but -5 dmg is too much about make it -4 or -3 dmg so but the effect will be 1-2 range only and name it Spear Fear and maybe this only applies when you learned reach cause horses only fear pikes when it is aiming to them thats why lancers dont have a hard problem with there horses. Horses are smart enough to know that if he goes to this spear pointing to him, he would die

Unless horse is trained extensively to trust rider.
By experience for example.
Real Winged Husaria had lances longer than most pikes!
Imagine spear infantry trying to reach them.
Horses new this by experience and charged even against wall of pointy ends (it was actually riders which stopped the charge if enemy had too long pikes/to much arqebuses), but that was most expensive, elite unit.
In normal case that is true.

I very happy my sugestion is ACCEPT,thanks for atetion endru.

For now Viking Berserk has low morale aura.

I wanted a similar effect for senator.
