According to the Badge of Courage's description, it only gives +1 to hero's [[morale]]. However, it also has a hidden effect, which gives hero's troops immunity to all [[mind spell]]s. This latter power was never documented in the game.
Equipped in a [[misc.]] slot, the Badge of Courage actually is the most powerful of the treasure artifacts.  In addition to the +1 to your [[morale]], it also gives you immunity to all [[mind spells]]. (This latter power was never documented in the game).

{{fanopinion|
Basic [[Cost]]: 5.000 [[gold]]
It seems that the mind spell immunity might be a bug, a technical error of the game. For example, if the [[Berserk]] spell is cast on a creature stacks of a hero equipped with Badge of Courage, the spell's drum symbol appears but when the spell is cast it does not take effect. This seems more a techical error, than designed property.


Badge of Courage's +1 to morale effect is a solid enchancement, but with the [[mind spell]] immunity the badge becomes almost superior. As can be expected, Badge of Courage is quite useless for Necropolis heroes, as [[undead]] are unaffected by morale as well as mind spells.
