	For early development, Diplomacy really rocks. It is a good idea to bring almost all troops to the army of a hero with Diplomacy, so that his/her army is stronger at the moment of potential units' joining, thus increasing the possibility to join. However, keep in mind there should be a free slot, or the hero has same units as those on the map (basic and upgraded units are the different, e.g. you cannot unite ~~{{hv\|~~Swordsmen~~\|SwordsmanCrusader}}~~ with ~~{{hv\|~~Crusader\|~~text=~~Crusaders}} outside a [[Castle]] with the upgraded 4 level dwelling!) Otherwise, the hero will have to dismiss some of his/her units. Summoning units from the home faction is especially advantageous, as they won't spoil [[morale]] and will become an integral part of your army.		For early development, Diplomacy really rocks.

	Morale negative bonus for 3+ factions and for having [[undead]] in the army is "the other side of the medal", however, the "diplomat" can share the newcoming troops with fellow heroes (e.g. if you play for [[Castle]], one of your heroes will use a [[Rampart]] stack, the other one gets a [[Tower]] stack, etc.). Even more useful will be putting troops summoned via Diplomacy into town garrisons, as [[Tavern]] is increasing morale and usually present in towns. Moreover, getting someone strong but without enough speed will slow your hero down when moving on the map, so that unit will be more useful for defending a town. Having a hero with [[Leadership]] is a nice thing, as that hero may be the one to use units from various factions.

Summoning [[undead]] will spoil morale of anyone else, but undead creatures themselves aren't affected by that factor, and a good stack of ~~{{hv\|~~Vampire and Vampire Lord\|~~VampireVampireLord\|text=~~Vampire Lords}}, ~~{{hv\|~~Lich and Power Lich\|~~LichPowerLich\|text=~~Liches}}, or ~~{{hv\|~~Black Knight and Dread Knight\|~~BlackKnightDreadKnight\|text=~~Black/Dread Knights}} is a big reinforcement to any army.

	Diplomacy together with [[Visions]] spell forms a powerful combination that allows a hero to easily see which wandering monsters will join and which will flee.

	Whether or not the wandering creatures will join you for "greater glory" or at price, depends not only on a hero's level of Diplomacy, but also on several other factors (e.g. Relative [[army strength]]s, whether the creature is already present in the army). For in-depth breakdown, see [[wandering creature]]s and also [[#External links\|External links]] below. A gross oversimplification of the mechanic is wandering creatures are 10% more likely to join per level of diplomacy that the hero has.
