DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

I dug. From one obelisk (there was only one lava zone on the map, so I found it quickly). IMHO, on the 6th week it doesn't play a big role, since the probability that the game will last several more days is very low. Although the +30% to Necromancy helped me then.

...The Grail is forbidden to be dug up...
...I think it should be banned...
...If there's a cross, no questions asked, it means they have the required number of obelisks for digging, and if there's no cross, it means they're cheating (understanding where to dig without enough fragments is... it means digging in the center, and it takes way too much time...) the Grail is needed, I think, but just ban it in Necromancer, Tower, and Conflux. Demons getting an extra 15 imps — only 60 HP and 2 hogs is nothing (though if you have 5 Infernos) that's sort of okay, combined with the rest of the growth bonuses) the other towns get a solid bonus... without being imbalanced...
...Against: banning digging for the Grail. Why are you all so afraid of it? How many people have actually dug it up online? Just ban building it in Tower and Conflux, where the bonuses are too strong, but digging is fine even with 111...
...I am FOR digging up the Grail!!! (just ban building it in Tower and Conflux)...
...The Grail can be dug up if the cross is visible on the puzzle map...
...For the Grail after the cross is revealed...
...That's the same as banning its digging...
...If we require digging the Grail only when the cross is visible on the puzzle map, then no one will dig it anyway =(. Let's have it without any crosses!!!
...I propose allowing Grail digging. If it gets problematic, we can revert the ban...
