When the Grail is taken to a town and the visiting hero with the Grail "visits" the Town Hall ([[Town Hall|Village Hall/Town Hall/City Hall/Capitol]]), a town-specific Grail Building will be built. It can be the second town building per turn, but nothing can be built on the same day after it. Also, Grail can be built in an allied town, which can be helpful if you don't have your own [[Tower]] or [[Conflux]]. All unique Grail building features will be effective for allies (except [[Castle]], [[Rampart]] and [[Necropolis]] buildings). | When the Grail is taken to a town and the visiting hero with the Grail "visits" the Town Hall ([[Town Hall|Village Hall/Town Hall/City Hall/Capitol]]), a town-specific Grail Building will be built.

*Castle: One of the less impactful grails, which is often made redundant by Knights' [[Leadership]] skill. The bonus can be seen as Advanced Leadership without needing to waste a skill slot. | *Castle: One of the less impactful grails, which is often made redundant by Knights' [[Leadership]] skill.

*Tower: Having this building gives a massive tactical advantage, and any player will be perfectly able to spot any attempt of siege or attack not only to this town but to all friendly heroes and buildings. | *Tower: Having this building gives a massive tactical advantage, and any player will be perfectly able to spot any attempt of siege or attack not only to this town but to all friendly heroes and buildings. | ||
*Inferno: The problem with Inferno's Deity of Fire is that typically grail buildings are built long after the imps, low tier creatures, are useful. 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 opposed to nine. This means with the addition of the grail, birthing pools and castle, one can expect an additional 11 demons per week. <!-- 74.75.4.12 02:19, 31 May 2019 --> | *Inferno: The problem with Inferno's Deity of Fire is that typically grail buildings are built long after the imps, low tier creatures, are useful.

*Conflux: Arguably the best Grail building. Having guaranteed access to [[Town Portal]], [[Dimension Door]], and [[Fly]] by itself is already incredible. Getting every single other spell is just bonus. Even with the nerfs in Horn of the Abyss, this Grail is still the most powerful. | *Conflux: Arguably the best Grail building.

*Cove: Effectively provides a global buff to all Cove units while preventing [[movement penalty]] with mono-Cove armies. The speed is particularly appreciated given how sluggish most Cove units are. | *Cove: Effectively provides a global buff to all Cove units while preventing [[movement penalty]] with mono-Cove armies.
