Default Garrisoned Unit Question

I notice when you are looking at a units detail it tells you where the unit came from or from where it was garrisoned, Does a unit that stays in it's garrison providence get any benifits?

That can be the difference between winning and losing a battle. But you obviously don't understand the value of morale or you'd not have made such a silly comment. Morale is one of the most important stats a unit has. Far more important than anything else except MR perhaps, and MR is only used if attacked by magic, while morale is always a large factor in *every* battle.

It's useful if you want to know where your enemy is making units.

You're playing a different game, then? If you mean that your battles contain lots of undead, remember that one of the best things about undead is their...

...wait for it...

...morale.

There really are only two ways a player loses a battle in Dom:

1. morale failure, or
2. stupidity on the part of the player.

Sometimes, it's both.

So if morale is not a factor in the battle, what's left? (HINT: see #2)

I don't really look at it that way. In this case, it's a matter of opinion, and my opinion is that mindless beings have no morale hence it is impossible for them to make morale checks, or even if they do, it's an automatic win.

That is why I say undead's greatest strength is not having morale at all. They might have a little #50 beside their "morale stat", but I rest my case.
