Do Items effects also work on non-heros?

[Pronoun]

If a unit is holding an item that raises damage or armor, or other stats that a hero and unit share, will the unit benefit?

For example, will a unit holding a ring of protection gain extra armor?

And for that matter what about items that are consumable? Can units use them?

Sadly, I think only the consumable items may be used when you're a unit with a backpack. I think the idea was to hold some potions if you really love your troops dearly.

Okay, I checked it (the simplest solution) and to my surprise nearly everything that could possibly affect a unit does. With the obvious exception of STR/INT/AGI boosting items, everything works just fine. Immolation works, damage bonuses work, ankhs work, blink daggers work, all of these work for units.

Really?(omg youve given me a great idea...)

Well, I just realized that I was using the Hero inventory ability, not the regular unit inventory. However, just don't make tomes of power, they crash the game if you pick them up.
