Forums / Questions and Answers / Taverns Defending vs Orc

Can anyone provide any insight into how taverns work? I know they are supposed to raise morale in the town but by how much? and how does it counteract  the loss of  morale when an orc is prepping? does morale drop faster if the orc army is larger? do taverns simply offset how much morale is lost in a tick? how many taverns are needed to prevent morale loss? is there a cap, like with armouries?

They do, but VU is sometimes a guessing game
We can all guess and act smart and say you need 200, or 500 or 1000 taverns
But nobody really knows

Untill someone really tests it, thats is how we find out about stuff here
You have to actually test it...
When you have a good ally, get one of their orcs to prep on your city, check how much morale is lost, starts building taverns and then check how much it changed...

Hmm one of Zond's armies is on my city and I'm still losing morale with about 2k taverns :/

Yeah, the Orc will always win when it comes to that. I can't remember how much morale I lost once.. Went from 100% to like, 55% before he took it over.

So you are saying when Orc attacks you and you have 2k taverns you do not loose morale? That means the size of the orc army matters, because I was told Zonds army is big, that would mean the bigger the enemy army, the more taverns you need. No other explanation

on one of my characters i had 6500 taverns and my morale seemed to drop sometimes, and other times it didnt drop. i didnt watch this all that carefully but thats what seemed to happen
