Morale of all human army?

[Keneth]

Marshal's Baton gives +1 to all humans, that's the only item in the game with such a bonus.

Hmmm...I thought your army gets +1 morale if its made up of the same race? I'm pretty sure I got +1 with my all-dwarven army last game I played.

[Keneth]

It does? I've never used a single-race army, why would you want to do something as ridiculous as that?

[Smash]

Because there is few race items which nicely boost your army of one race.

[Keneth]

That's an excuse to drive a personal preference, taking the best out of each race is still the better choice.

Although demons have notably the most awesome units of all races, so it's not such a bad choice, especially with Xeona and a class 3 demetrius.

Cause of the morale boost. Or an all demon army (don't like it) or undead army, to avoid negative morale when mixing with other races.

The all-elf army is considered one of the most powerful armies in the game (to the point of being broken). Between Anga's Ruby (with 3 female mobs in the race), the Elven Crown, and the auto +1 morale, elves are pretty much can't be topped for damage per leadership point. Dryad's wacky spells are just icing on the cake.

I wouldn't be so quick to knock it, if you've never even tried it.

Pity there's no +1 for all races.

I agree that an elven army is obviously superior to any other in most circumstances.

How does everyone like an all demon army? I tried it very briefly, but did not like it at all. Guess it doesn't suit my play style, with all the melee units.

Which is only thanks to Anga's Ruby in all its awesomeness. And the maximum ammount of morale is 4, so Elven Crown + Ruby is the most you can have for your female army, the other two spaces might as well be replaced by something more efficient than elves.

An all-demon army is nice, although archdemons aren't that great for a level 5 unit (gonna look into fixing that once I'm done with the game), might be better to use another group of imps or something. Although personally I think it's best to mix in a different unit like shamans, inqs, dragons, and the like.

Of course Anga's is a big part of it- elves have the most females. So what's your point?

If you replace the two remaining slots with other elves, they get AT LEAST +2 morale from the crown and the army bonus. Additionally, they would benefit from the Dryad's initiative spell.

For a person that hasn't even bothered to try it, you seem intent on knocking it down summarily.

Obviously, no one army is the best army for all situations, but to say that someone using a single race army is being "ridiculous" is simply wrong.
