Summary​

Mercenarys do 0 Morale damage if army maintenance is at 0% (despite the mercs still having 100% morale)

Description​

If you set your army Maintenance to 0% your mercenarys are unaffected. Except they are affected. They stop doing any moral damage whatsoever allowing you to kill armys (litterlay every single point of manpower in the enemy army) that otherwhise would have retreated, or causing you to lose battles you would have otherwhise won. Additionaly mercs in such a "state" can never stack whipe an enemy army even if the enemy army falles below 10% of the merc armys size. This can be way to overpowered, or a extreme handicap depending on the situation.

Speculation: IF morale damage done my mercenary armies is not depending on the mercenarys morale, but by cour countries Moral then moral bonii to mercenarys from the mercenary armys "special ability" dose probably not apply at all. It also stands to question if the disipline bonus from the merc idea gets applied to mercenary armies, or any bonus mercenarys can have.

Steps to reproduce​

Easy. Just recruite a merc army, set maintanance to 0 use the console to spawn in some rebells or smth, fight them and watch what happenes.
