>>5218903True. No faction can get rid of morale entirely, not even Primaris. Even completely emotionless Tech-Priests when faced with danger consider the success and defeat percentages and risk of loss of self-data. Tyranids can suffer from "Feral instincts" of survival when the hive mind is disrupted.
As you say, even Necrons (the smart ones) can break, as seen with Orikan and Trazyn. The dudes cried tears when they saw their most precious dreams shattered before their eyes, such as Orikan losing the female cryptek he had been growing attached with for millennia. As for the way we made TalOS, I'm guessing that's referring to the really old decision to have our forces be "more human like" rather than leaning towards the automaton around thread 1-2.
Question:
Would TalOS be against trying to bolster it artificially via cybernetics? Not just emotional dampeners but perhaps artificial courage boosters? There are examples of that sort of technology like Omniscient Mask.
Could we also make efforts to, as like Necrons, have the higher functioning soldiers and people with consciousness are more affected morale but the lower tier and automata (like the Necron mindless) are less affected? The servitors, tech-thralls, cyberneticae etc. and using them to decrease casualties among the higher functioning soldiers.
