Hey guys, I've noticed that my armies do really poorly just after I load a saved game, and some other similar bad luck. I'm wondering if there's some game mechanic (intentional or just because of how games are saved) that results in this. (Maybe to prevent abuse of saving/reloading until you get the result you want?)
Details: Sometimes I save my game (or enable autosave) and keep playing. I win some battles. Then I decide to quit and load from my last save. I notice that instead of winning those battles, I'm losing them now because my troops lose morale really quickly. I think, "that's not fair, I won those before" so I quit and load from the same save again, and the exact same thing happens--I lose, even if my troops have a sizable advantage in numbers and they won before. I feel like other similar things have happened that weren't battles, but specific examples don't come to mind.

... but that is the way it is. So don't reload in the middle of a battle. If you have to save during a war, try to do it when there is a lull in the activities, so your men get a month or two to regain the morale.
