What does Morale do?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Originally it boosted production. Toward the end of the beta period it boosted population growth, influence, and resistance instead. Some also claimed it did still boost production in late beta, not as much though, and that the devs confirmed it. But the production boost didn't show up in the tool tips. It still doesn't. So what does Morale do, and if it boosts production can we please see it in tool tips so I can make informed decisions?

Morale above 75% does give a Production bonus, up to +25% at 100% morale, as well as a bonus to population growth and resistance. Morale below 75% starts to reduce everything. You can see how much of a bonus you're getting by hovering over Population Growth (which is the only tooltip for morale that works right now).

The reason it doesn't show in the tooltips for most things is that it modifies base production, which is a hidden stat that is expressed to the player as Raw Output. Hopefully that changes in the future.

Great, thanks for the info! I would like the tooltips to make this clear, but in any case I did see the increase in production reflected in the raw numbers. Cheers!
