Why Heroic Charge doesn't work on Undead creatures?

Because they are immune to mind influences and Heroic Charge is considered such.

Funny considering the fact that other warcries DO work on them...

Pretty sure it's a bug much like heroism doesn't work for them.

Doesn't heroism just provide a morale bonus? Or does it also grant attack damage? I tend to play magic heroes, so I'm a little out of date on these. :P

If it's just the morale bonus, it's hardly a bug, they're the undead. They just don't care.

Heroic charge only adds damage per square moved so I agree that it should work on undead. I've never tried the tears cries so I'm not sure about them. But if they don't work, I think it should be changed as they don't modify moral or luck.

Ah, fair enough, I stand corrected. :P

Heroism provides several bonuses and is quite useful. To quote from my Magic Blood Necro hero (may be different for Tears or neutral heroes) - Increases morale and destiny (formerly "Luck") by 44 units, and increases physical damage of the unit by 17%. But since undead don't have Morale, this means you can't use it at all on them.
I even had to replay one of my Necro missions and choose not to choose Heroism (which I chose originally), since it can't be used (unless you maybe use it on Summoned creatures or non-Necro creatures you found elsewhere).

No, it doesn't add only that - it also increases movement +2. :P :P

That seems to be a bit counterproductive. Okay, it's not AS effective, but still bloody powerful even without the morale boost.
