	Important military idea Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Examle: Fact - WWII when Germany attacked france France had a bigger army, more tanks, planes, and heavey artillery. But The population was deeply divided. The Germans with complete unity and faith in Hitler Rolled into Paris. Fact 2 - Italy Doubled The British Forces in North Africa yet where driven out of africa in a few months. Reason the army wasnt behind there leader.
Another example is The commmunist revolution in Russia 1917 in Which the Tzar was taken out of power because among others things was fighting a war that the people didnt want to fight. Therefore I propose that the popularity of the leader gives the attack and defend values of the units either a advantage or dis-advantage. For Instance, If I have a populatity of 80% then i would get a bonus against a leader that had a 60% popularity.

I feel that this should be in CivIII, it makes combat much more realistic!

Although I do think morale could be included I have to point out a few things: Germany did not conquer france becouse of morale (atleast not only by morale), the french army was at the northern belgian border, the germans struck through at the south end of the belgian border, the french army was encircled and most of the german army continued into france, while the french army could do nothing (this analysis was a bit short, I know)

Civ III's "leaders" could be a variant of this idea, who knows?

Sid did it in Gettysburg, so i wouldn't rule it out in Civ3. Units fled irrespective of your orders, so it made you consider them in such situations. This could specifically affect weakened units, so you're forced to use re-inforcements in order to guarantee that they won't vacate the city for your enemy to conquer

Don't get me wrong I liked the idea. I just wanted to point out that in the mentioned case it wasn't as simple as BRENNANonTHEmoor made it look.

	Increase the size of your Attachments

Firaxis said serveral months ago that there will be leaders in the game. They did not say how many or how long the leaders would live. Nor did they say if the human player or AI player would get to build some or all of them. Just think you are playing as the American and Caesar becomes one of your leader, btw they did not say which leader in history they would pick.

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

What about having a %chance that a unit will not follow orders to attack if there is a less than 1 in x chance of them winning. The % could increase if the war goes badly and a lot of other units have died recently

I think the leaders idea Firaxis is floating will have to do with morale.

It has definately been proven that morale affects troop performance, we should include it if we can. If this is done, however, it will have to be kept simple to be effective.
