The 3rd stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2007).

x-starter? I'm hearing about it for the first time. The program is written in Delphi, and the code is only 10 lines long. You are absolutely right about the morale drop (extra turn); here, you will have to use the following options: 1) take a hero without leadership and artifacts that increase morale; 2) apply a morale-suppressing artifact; 3) take armies from another castle to lower the morale to neutral; to avoid cluttering, I will separate the further description and discussion of the program into a separate topic (see the link below).
