(Thus, in general, assaulting a city defended by a large stack of units isn't a good idea - better to siege the place and kill all the units in one blow when the city falls. Which is the reason it is generally NOT a good idea to defend a city with a large stack of units. There's little incentive for the attacker to actually assault the fortress if it's well defended, and conversely the stack of units provides no help in keeping the city from falling to a siege.)

Do all attacking units reset to their original morale? or do they remain reduced while the stacked units inside the fortress come in at full morale with the +1 small unfortified city bonus?
