Red Orb (Sphere of Prohibition)

Message from Lider1:
Yes, of course, I understood. What's there to understand?

You probably didn't understand, since you don't understand the opponent's position (in a normal sense).

Specifically for you, here's a screenshot. The past, present, and future of SoD. Let's rejoice. Hallelujah.

A Sphere is a Sphere; it's a powerful artifact, but it doesn't always decide the outcome. It's not present in every game, and even more so, it doesn't always determine the winner. In fact, it often does more harm than good when its owner loses! It's an artifact that can be decisive, but how can you forget about things like Castle and Fortress, Cloak and Crown, and even a mage with +3 Morale/Luck can crush a warrior with a Sphere.

Regarding the screenshots, in Facebook battles, that's understandable. But the fact that magic and its abundance could give an advantage in terms of units before Facebook battles – doesn't that count? In Facebook battles, it's a disadvantage, but it still has all the benefits of magic available, which gives it an advantage over a warrior who charges in with swords.
One thing is striking: the one-sidedness of thinking:

Now imagine what would happen to Tazar if he didn't have a Sphere! Is he a weak hero? No, he's one of the most powerful! Not having a Sphere means a quick defeat; write a report!
