'''Morale''' represents [[troop stack]]'s willingness to fight. High morale can allow creatures to receive an extra attack during [[combat]] round, while low morale can cause them to freeze and lose the turn. Good morale is received after the troop stack has acted, which means that the creatures will have a chance to act again immediately. Bad morale happens at the very beginning of creature stack's turn, and causes them to "freeze in panic". | |||
The morale value of a creature stack can vary from -3 to +3. The game manual incorrectly states, that the probability for receiving moral (good or bad) is 1/24 (4.17 %) times morale value. This would mean that it is equally probable to receive good or bad morale. This however, is not correct. The correct probabilities can be seen from the table on the right. As it shows, it is more probable to receive bad morale than good morale. The troop stack's morale value is mainly determined by army's morale rating, which acts as a bonus to the individual morale of its troops. Thus the creature stack's morale can differ from hero's army's morale. | |||
Troop stack's morale can typically be affected by various spells, [[Adventure Map]] locations, artifacts, town buildings, [[Leadership]] secondary skill or some creatures' special abilities. E | |||
Undead creatures and elementals have a morale of zero, independent of their army’s morale rating. | |||
Base morale is what you get from having an army composed of units from certain towns. You get lower base morale the more towns you have units from in your army ([[Neutral]] counts as a town)- You start off at +1, and get -1 for each new alignment you add.(So if you have creatures from 3 town types, you have -1 as base morale). Bonuses for having [[Archangel]]s and/or [[Undead]] are not counted here. | |||
