3. If a neutral creature is fleeing, even if you reinforce your army with the same types of creatures and increase the chance of recruitment (see points 1 and 2), it's not guaranteed that they will join... A too-strong army might simply scare the opponent, and they will continue to flee. But in this case, if there's an opportunity to weaken your army (e.g., leave a portion of your troops to guard a mine), it's possible that they will join after that... You need to experiment.
So, you're saying that this is quite possible? That, by using a spell like "Vision" or thieves, for example, and seeing that they are fleeing, the creatures might still join, but only after they replenish their numbers, right?
I think we need to slightly adjust this question and add it to the Physics Engine Guide.
P.S. I've been playing Heroes 3 for a very long time, but I've never encountered this, not even once...
