Basically, it makes troops stronger and decreases their chances to rout in battle. Units gain valor through killing many enemies in battle, the more they kill, the more valor they'll eventually get.

I think valour also affects the performance of your troops in battle. For instance, units with 4 valour will fight far better than the same unit with only 0 valour. Basically, you want your troops to have lot's of valour!

each valor a unit has adds +2 moral, +1 attack, and +1 defense.

valor is the most important stat.
armor adds +1 defense, and +1 armor
weapon adds +1 attack

the difference between defense and armor is that armor protects the unit from missle fire.

for each valor you give a unit it costs another 70% the base cost of the unit
for each weapon you give a unit it costs another 33% the base cost of the unit
for each armor you give a unit it costs another 37% the base cost of the unit
ranged units get discounts

each unit past the 4th of the same type costs 120% more.
ie: the 5th lancer you bring costs 120% more than the 4th and the 6th costs 120% more than the 5th.
