Effect: +50% Damage

Hate is a special ability of creatures, which causes attacking unit to "burn with anger" and deal 50% more base damage (see damage calculation) to a creature type it hates.

Typically hatred is a symmetric relation that involve both basic and upgraded versions of creatures. For example, Angels and Archangels hate both Devils and Arch Devils and vice versa. However, Giants and Red dragons do not hate each other nor do they hate their upgraded versions Titans and Black Dragons. Additionally, Titans and Black Dragons hate each other.

Hate doesn't affect morale if creatures hating each other are in the same army (Devils/Archdevils will even get +1 morale if they are alongside Angels/Archangels - while there won't be morale bonus for all troops from the same town), and doesn't prevent units from spreading their magic abilities on hated allies (i.e Archangels may resurrect Devils and Archdevils, and Master Genies may cast spells on any type of Efreeti, aside from those ones to which the latter are immune). More precisely, hate is just a simple damage modifier applied before the attack, and nothing more.
