The latest expansion pack has been released. Now, certain things are clear.

They didn't create a sea race because there are no mines in the sea, and you can't walk on it, and many other things. A sea race would stand out too much, if only because the main Gameplay takes place on land – what would they do? And if they can freely do without water, what kind of _sea_ race is that?
Sea creatures are needed as neutrals, and nothing more...

Are the artifacts weak? Here, give everyone the Sword of Armageddon! =)) In what way are they weak? If one artifact immediately gives a decisive advantage, that's bad! Buy a lot, collect sets, and you'll be happy! And in general, the strongest artifact is the Chains of War =)

Is there no way to find the Grail? Hmm, actually there is, maybe it's just not placed on the maps...

Damn, actually, the topic is not about this...
