All half-thought-through. The concept is that morale and opinion are
two different axes (low morale but high opinion runs away but remains
loyal, high morale but low opinion is going to rebel and be dangerous
subsequently), but useful parametrization was hard, very many different
things that one might want to affect. To make progress, you'd probably
want to pick a simplified situation that is interesting for a real game,
make that work first.
