| | '''Morale''' represents [[troop stack]]'s willingness to fight. High morale can allow creatures to receive an extra attack, while low morale can cause them to freeze. Each army has a morale rating which acts as a bonus to the individual morale of its troops. Various creatures, spells, secondary skills, town buildings, [[Adventure Map]] locations, and artifacts can temporarily affect morale. |

| '''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 chance of receiving morale effect is equal to 1/24 time the morale value. The morale valua can vary from -3 to +3. Receiving good morale happens after the creture stack has acted, while bad morale happens at the very beginning of creature stack's turn. |
|

|
| The morale value of a creature stack can vary from -3 to +3. The game manual erroneously states the probability of receiving good or bad morale is equal at 1/24 (4.17 %) times morale value. As shown in the table on the right, 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. Army's morale can be affected in various ways, which are listed below.
| | , |
|
| |
|
| Golems, undead and elementals are unaffected by morale, meaning that their morale rating is always zero.
| | Undead creatures and elementals have a morale of zero, independent of their army’s morale rating. |

| '''Buildings:''' | | 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. 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. |
| * [[Tavern]] increases defenders morale by +1 when defending against siege.
| |
| * [[Castle]]'s [[Brotherhood of the Sword]] increases defenders morale by +2 (in addition to Tavern) when defending against siege.

| '''Spells:'''
| | 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. |
