Morale

Morale gives you a chance for an extra turn with an unit in battle.

The chance of getting a morale is equal to 1/24 * morale value. Note that this can be a negative as well, in which case the unit has bad morale, which causes your units to freeze and skip the turn.

Base morale is what you get from having an army composited 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 Archangels and/or Undead are not counted here.

Gives good morale

• The Leadership skill.
• Some Artifacts.
• Some spells
• Archangels in your army.

Gives bad morale

• Undead units in your army.
• Some creatures gives enemy army lower morale.

Golems, Undead and elemental creatures are immune to morale factors.

A hero's units have double the chance of freezing with bad morale than having a second attack with the same level of good morale. Not correctly documented in the manual. Also, morale modifiers are capped at +3 and -3.
