Summary​

Morale recovery modifier on commander traits doesn't apply properly

Description​

The moral recovery modifier found on commander traits such as Pious, Diplomat etc. only applies to units during a battle, where it doesn't do anything since units do not regain morale during a battle.

Steps to reproduce​

I've provided save files, but it is easy to reproduce.

1. Start the game as Spain.
2. Army "Ejército del Norte" is lead by a historical character with a diplomat trait (screenshot 4).
3. Declare war on Morocco and mobilize this army (state of save file morale_bug.v3).
4. Toggle chocolate mobilization option on and off to decrease morale.
5. Check the tooltip of a singular unit in the army to see that they recover the default 3% per tick (screenshot 1).
6. Enabling chocolate gives a boost (screenshot 2), but there is no boost from the "Diplomat" commander trait.
7. Start a battle (state of save file morale_bug2.v3)
8. In battle, the bonus applies (screenshot 3), but has no effect.
