When Zhang Yang hurried back from the Training Ground, Wu Yuan had already upgraded all 47 first-tier soldiers to the second tier and was about to begin upgrading them to the third tier.
"Wait, no—upgrade those 30 archers to the captain level first. As for the rest of the sword and shield soldiers, elite level will do for now."
Zhang Yang quickly gave the order. By then, he had carefully examined the explanation regarding morale.
The morale system in the Village Building Order was rather complicated.
First, the villagers' loyalty was divided by two. Then the result was added to one-tenth of the Village Prosperity. That was the basic morale value.
For example, the loyalty of the villagers in Zhang Yang's village was 74. Divided by two, that gave 37. The Village Prosperity was 225, and one-tenth of that was 22.5. Added together, the basic morale value was 59.5.
So from this perspective, as long as the villagers' loyalty did not decline and the Village Prosperity kept rising, reaching, say, 1,000 prosperity, the soldiers' morale would naturally soar as well.
The saying about protecting one's home and defending one's country was indeed quite reasonable.
But if there was basic morale, then there would naturally be fluctuating morale as well.
The specific calculation was as follows: if the number of food types each day was greater than or equal to five, morale would neither decrease nor increase.
If the daily food supply was enough to make everyone eighty percent full, morale would neither decrease nor increase.
Every day, while not in combat, if the fatigue from marching and training was no higher than moderate exhaustion—in other words, the amount consumed by a farmer working in the Farmland for six hours—morale would neither decrease nor increase.
During combat, for each person wounded
