:its the same 'recalculating starting movepoints during one turn' stuff as in [[Admiral's Hat]] bug with two extra details. lets take the grass as a default terrain. u give the hero the gloves, unequip them in the morning, make three straight steps (thats the first important detail: the pre-digging amount of movepoints has to be exatcly the same as our new 'starting movepoints' we want to feed to the game), open and close the hero's window (the second detail: an action to force the game to recalculate the hero's max movepoints. i vaguely remember that this part could be tricky, but the hero's menu was enough for my tests right now), and just dig. as with [[Admiral's Hat]] u can get the same effect by playing with the army's slowest guy. --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 22:18, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

== [[Deity of Fire]] ==
However, the scrupulous Inferno player can turn this into an incredibly powerful advantage. A high level Marius equipped with any of the extra hitpoint artifacts can turn these extra imps into more demons with pit lords. A vial of lifeblood makes conversion 50% more efficient, requiring six imps per demon as apposed to nine. This means with the addition of the grail, birthing pools and castle, one can expect an additional 11 demons per week. --[[Special:Contributions/74.75.4.12|74.75.4.12]] 02:19, 31 May 2019‎

== Can Grail be disabled in multiplayer mode (Hota)? ==
I ask it, due to my fully undeserved win in multiplayer (HotA's online lobby). I played a small map and was very close to lose a scenario in early game due to my blunders. Being desperate I killed somewhat 30 Master Gremlins who guarded an obelisk just near my town. It disclosed the whole puzzle map, and Grail was very close to my town as well. I played for Dungeon, thus with 16 Power I easily defeated Solmyr having a very weak garrison - one Magic Arrow killed 4 Genies or 10 Gargoyles, with no Magic Schools, the only other helpful thing being Mana Vortex (60 Spell Points). Earning 7000 per week, I could easily hire immense army (for a small map and early weeks); in case of unexpected battle I could just surrender - re-hiring a hero for 2500 was just free...
Thus, I feel there should be an opportunity to disable Grail, especially on small maps where owning Grail is just a freebie win. However, I didn't find it anywhere when generating a random map; is there a chance to remove Grail from the map?--[[User:Dread Knight|Dread Knight]] ([[User talk:Dread Knight|talk]]) 21:44, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
:As it is written on the page: No obelisks = no Grail. Disable obelisks or remove them from the map -[[User:Fafner|Fafner]] ([[User talk:Fafner|talk]]) 08:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
== lodestar description is not consistent across pages ==
Lodestar - Grail building of Cove. Brings 5000 gold per day, multiplies the growth of creatures by 1.5 per week (rounded down). Makes any terrain native to Cove (movement without penalty, +1 to attack, defense and speed, see and ignore mines and see quicksand). Cove's siege remains on swamp
this is from cove page.
== Gnome-Made Zeppelin ==
Does anyone know where does the skyship's likening to a "gnome-made zeppelin" come from? I couldn't find anything related to it in the manuals, but perhaps I just missed it. I think it's a bit strange, since gnomes aren't mentioned anywhere in-game (as far as I am aware of) and suddenly get referenced.
:think its nothing more than kapteeni's wording choice when he added all the grail structure descriptions. no lore involved. and it was 'goblin-made' [https://heroes.thelazy.net/index.php?title=Grail&diff=next&oldid=21785] in his first edit. --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 12:10, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

* If the damage is increased by [[Sorcery]] (is this confirmed?), is it also increased by [[Orb of the Firmament]] (likely) or reduced by artifacts like [[Charm of Eclipse]] (unlikely)? --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 15:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
* Does anyone know the equation for how the damage scales with town buildings?
