'''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 morale value of a creature stack can vary from -3 to +3. The game manual incorrectly states, that the probability for receiving (good or bad) morale is 1/24 (4.17 %) times morale value. This however, is not correct. The correct probabilities can be seen from the table on the right. As it shows, 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.

Undead and elementals are unaffected by morale, meaning that their morale rating is always zero.
