Actually, it does. When you've got the spirit of oppression, you're absolutely sure that those centaurs won't kill off your orcs first turn

off course it does, it helps you clean your part of the map faster which gives you a big advantage towards your opponents.

hmm
I'll exlude the game-imbalancing things like the wings. They are sweet, but I'm interested in people's favorites amongst the more common items.
Mine:
- Anything with increased movement (not navigation)
- Anything with improved archery (I usually play the wizard)
- Every possible item with a luck modification
- Every possible item with a morale modification
- Immune to blind thingie
In the end game, an extra lucky shot per battle is just monstrous if you have 80 titans.
- Of course, anything that just CRANKS your knowledge is sweet. I will always pump knowledge where I can over spell power (unless I have solmyr and it's early).

Could someone help me with the kind of battle Xarfax1 mentioned? 2 fast stacks, archers and an ammo cart against huge amount of speed5-monsters (1hex?), unaffected by morale. I just couldn't make it work. How to do it?

Maybe better to give an example:
Last Month i had a game on Blockbuster. Two towns are seperated by heavy random blocks. I totally surprised my opponent by attacking him very early only with a three weeks army!! The block between us was Zounds of diamond golems! Means: 85 diamondgolems per stack!
Diamondgolems...similar to all necros, elementals und all other golems cant get moral! So this situation is similar to have the spirit of oppression or to fight on cursed ground.
So what i did was to take 2 silver pegs (1 in each corner), my 45 Grand elves and (very important) an ammo cart into the fight...nothing else.
The fight goes like this:
1 moved the silver peg forward on a place where all diamonds try to reach (of course 1 step away). The other peg rests. The golems try to reach the peg, but as they nver get morale they will of course never reach it. The evles shoot.
Next round the silver peg flies back to ground line, while the other peg flies forward out of reach. The golems now head to the other peg...the elves shoot ...and so on and so on.....
...so the golems work their way from top to bottom and back without ever having a chance to reach those dammed pegs, while the elves shoot them down to zero....
.... this of course only works without morale !! .
So if uve the spirit of oppresion with you, u can expand this technique on every large amount of creature with maximum speed of 5!!! And this is still expandable.....
.... as soon as uve expert slow u can kill every large amount of creature u can bring down to a speed of 5!!
I have to admit, I can't get it to work. I moved the upper pegasi all up, 6 hexes from the golem stack. All golems approached. But next turn I CAN'T move my second pegasi all the way forward, because the lowest golem stack will kill him. So I have to place it a little forward and this brings golems to close to my elves and in the end some of them always procees forward. I guess it woul be easier if I had a few extra pegasi, but I want to manage as it is. Can you give me a detailed plan please? thx
Oh yes, 7 stacks with 85 each, total 595 golems.

from what I remember you can't do that zound golems thing because from what I remember no matter how you position your initial pegasus, there's always gonna be one golem not going for him. That will put you in a nasty situation second turn since you won't be able to lure the goems or whatever you play against with speed 5 to wherever you want. Also, in a fight like that, check the battle ground you'll be fighting on.
It'll suck if all your plannin is based on moving the horsie back and forward and then find out that the terrain has a grove in the middle, screwing up all your movement plans.
