Let's imagine a situation: your hero has one skill slot left, and you're offered the choice between Leadership or Luck. What would you choose?

Good luck – I mainly play as Necropolis.

I'll take Leadership, and here's why: Luck only increases the base damage, meaning it ignores the Attack and Ranged Attack skills if the hero has them. Morale, on the other hand, doesn't ignore these skills. Moreover, Leadership allows for more flexible use of the additional damage received when Morale triggers. I'll only take Luck if the army already has +3 Morale without the Leadership skill.

Luck - because I mainly play as an Undead hero.
Undead heroes simply won't have a choice between Luck and Leadership. The Leadership skill never appears for them.

Of course, the morality aspect, and the ability to deal more damage than intended in just two turns – let me tell you, that’s no joke… :D

Of course, morale – the ability to deal more damage than allowed in two turns – is no joke...:D
Morale can be easily ruined! A few factions, and especially undead in the army...
But luck can't be ruined! Unless you use hourglasses...

Morality can be easily corrupted! Several factions and even undead in the army... But luck can't be corrupted! Unless you spend hours...
I absolutely agree with you. So, I'll take leadership: because you carry so many things with you. And therefore, there should be more morale.

The undead simply won't have a choice between luck and leadership. They never get the leadership skill.
There are many heroes that can be undead.

If I'm not playing as Necropolis or Conflux, I'll take Leadership, because luck doesn't happen as often in battle as morale does... IMHO. The second turn can be used in various ways, but luck can't.

You never know what kind of hero the Undead might have.

If you're playing as Undead but not as a Necromancer or Death Knight, then you have a very interesting tactic. :)

Why not as often? If the Morale and Luck stats are equal, aren't the chances of them triggering equal?

If the Morale and Luck stats are equal, aren't the chances of them dropping the same?

Isn't that the case? +1 Morale and +1 Luck each have a 10% chance of dropping, and 2+ gives a 20% chance.

I don't know how many times I played, but morale had a greater impact than luck.

Hmm... maybe Morale is better))... but for some reason, I choose Luck more often))... probably because of the large number of artifacts for Morale)).. or maybe because of the picture)).. it's so colorful))). In the next game, I'll think about it))).

There are plenty of heroes that could be used by the Necropolis.

But what’s the point of giving a hero leadership…? The Necropolis cannot have morale, neither negative nor positive.

Isn't that right? +1 Morale and +1 Luck – both have a 10% chance of appearing, and 2+ have a 20% chance, respectively.
+1 Morale/Luck gives a slightly higher than 4% chance of appearing, at least that's what's written in the game mechanics, and it aligns with practice. Negative Morale appears more often than stated, about 1.5 times more.
In general (except for Necropolis), Leadership is significantly better than Luck, both in terms of additional damage and tactical advantages. But both skills are only taken out of necessity. For each race, there are 8 other more useful skills.

There's no need to argue here – just choose both skills, and that's it. Besides, the skill slots allow for it (I personally do it this way).
And you also forgot about their simultaneous effect (I remember it being like that with the High Elves: double luck + morale, then double luck again).

It all depends on the situation, the faction, the map, the artifacts, the opponent, the opponent's artifacts, and so on. Personally, I usually choose luck!
