the one for selecting single-player
custom games. The difference is that

up the screen allowing you to choose
sides and set initial conditions.
Clicking on Load Game allows you to
load a previously saved game and continue playing it.
All players must choose their number, flag colour and initial parameters
(race, starting hero and resources - if the scenario allows it). By default,
start-up parameters are randomly set (dice icon). Close unused lines (lock
icon) or assign AI-controlled players (computer icon) to them. After that,
you can start playing the game.
Information about the current player is displayed in the information
window in the upper section of the screen. Any human player can stop
playing at any time and surrender. The game is played until only one
player remains, or the mission is accomplished.

Luck and Morale
The Luck property determines the probability of inflicting double damage
on a target. The default value for Luck is zero, meaning that you will
never inflict double damage. This probability can be increased when a hero
has the skill of Luck. Luck affects the creatures under the hero’s control,
but does not affect the hero himself.
Luck can also be negative. In this case, some of a unit’s attacks will inflict
only half the usual damage. On the battle arena, when the Luck
parameter snaps into action, this is seen in the form of a rainbow-like halo
over a creature.
Morale value determines a stack’s chances of taking more turns or
skipping some of its turns, according to its current Initiative value. The
default value for Morale is zero, meaning that the turns never become
more frequent, nor are they skipped.
A stack’s Morale value can be modified through the hero’s Leadership
skill, and through the composition of the army. Armies that only have
stacks of the same race, as well as those commanded by a hero of the
same race, have increased Morale. “Foreign” stacks in the army or a
“foreign” hero commanding it, decrease Morale.
Low morale implies that the stack may not perform any actions and will be
delayed for half a cycle. It appears as a bird-like figure in black over the creature.
High morale means that after its turn, a stack may only have to wait for
half a cycle. The effect appears as a golden bird-like figure over the creature.
