Editing Grail (section)

== Grail Buildings ==
{{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. The noteworthy fact is, that the town can build the Grail Building even if the player has already built in that town, but after the Grail Building is built the player cannot build in the town that turn. Also, Grail can be built in an allied town, which can be helpful if you don't have your own [[Tower]] of [[Conflux]]. All unique Grail building features will be effective for allies (except [[Castle]], [[Rampart]] and [[Necropolis]] buildings).

=== Colossus ([[Castle]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Castle Colossus.gif|border]]
|}
Colossus is a huge golden statue of a soldier holding a sword and a shield. It increases the [[morale]] of all of the owner's heroes by +2. Although the documentation states that it increases all allied heroes morale, this appears to be wrong.

=== Spirit Guardian ([[Rampart]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Rampart Spirit Guardian.gif|border]]
|}
Spirit Guardian is a totem pole with a winged horse on top. It increases owners all heroes' [[luck]] by +2. Although the documentation states that it increases all allied heroes luck, this appears to be wrong.
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
=== Skyship ([[Tower]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Tower Skyship.gif|border]]
|}
Tower's Skyship looks like "gnome-made zeppelin". It reveals the entire map for the player who owns it, and increases [[knowledge]] skill of the hero defending against a siege by +15. Revealed map is a permanent effect and is not canceled if the player loses the town with the Skyship. Unlike the [[Lookout Tower]], the Skyship cannot be used to disperse the darkness generated by a [[Cover of Darkness]]. 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. 

=== Deity of Fire ([[Inferno]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Inferno Deity of Fire.gif|border]]
|}
Deity of Fire is an enormous glowing devil that stands on the horizon. It causes every week to be The Week of Imp, which means that the population of Imps and/or Familiars are increased by +15 in addition to normal growth. External dwellings are not affected by this special week. 

The problem with Inferno's Deity of Fire is that typically grail buildings are built long after the imps, low tier creatures, are useful. In fact, it is Necropolis who benefits more from extra imps available to be harvested as skeletons or transformed into one.

=== Soul Prison ([[Necropolis]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Necropolis Soul Prison.gif|border]]
|}
Soul Prison resembles an [[obelisk]] with an upside-down pyramid halo on the tip. It increases the [[Necromancy]] skill of all the owners' heroes by 20%. Although the documentation states that it increases all allied heroes Necromancy skill, this appears to be wrong.

=== Guardian of Earth ([[Dungeon]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Dungeon Guardian of Earth.gif|border]]
|}
Guardian of Earth resembles giant skeletal humanoid embedded into the rock watching over the whole city. It increases [[spell power]] skill of the hero defending against a siege by +12.

=== Warlords' Monument ([[Stronghold]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Stronghold Warlords' Monument.gif|border]]
|}
Increases the [[Attack]] of a garrison hero by 20 when defending against a siege. This bonus gives an absurd damage bonus, able to increase the damage output of even the highest leveled creatures by about 50%, any hero holding a town with this building is nearly unbeatable except by an overwhelming army or an opposing hero with a very high level.
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
=== Carnivorous Plant ([[Fortress]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Fortress Carnivorous Plant.gif|border]]
|}
Increases the [[Attack]] and [[Defense]] of a garrison hero by 10 each when defending against a siege.
This boost is considered to be the best in terms of siege defense, not only it makes all units tanky but also gives them a powerful damage steroid, this is particularly useful for the [[Fortress]] creatures, who have somewhat low stats (but extremely powerful and annoying abilities) and allows them to achieve a powerful combination of destruction, tankiness and annoyingness.
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
=== Aurora Borealis ([[Conflux]]) ===
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Conflux Aurora Borealis.gif|border]]
|}
Fills the town's [[Mage Guild]] (*regardless* of mage guild's level) with all unbanned spells. (Excluding [[Titan's Lightning Bolt]]). Even spells banned on the global map can appear unless they're not banned in a town with the Grail. The best [[Grail]] building, any hero that enters the town learns all spells there are in the game. However, in games with lots of towns all the important spells may already be available even without Aurora Borealis.
In {{hota}} Aurora Borealis allows to learn spells up to according level of the [[Mage Guild]] only and doesn’t allow to learn spells not available for this town.
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
=== Lodestar ([[Cove]]) {{withhota}} === 
{| style="margin: 0 1em 0 0; float:left;"
| [[File:Grail Cove Lodestar.gif|border]]
|}
Makes any terrain native to all the [[Cove]] units (movement without penalty, +1 to attack, defense and speed, ability to see and ignore [[land mine]]s and see [[quicksand]]).
