Summary

0000318: The Grail growth bonus seems to apply only to Castle growth, not also to flagged dwellings, horde structures, etc

Description

In VCMI we have:
- Basic growth + Citadel/Castle bonus
+ Grail 50% bonus to the above
+ Hoarde structure fixed bonus (when applicable)
+ External dwellings flagged fixed bonus (+1/dwelling, in all same type towns belonging to the player)
And I'm not sure where the growth artifacts go in the above hierarchy.

If we want to stay true to H3 on this one, we should have:
- Basic growth + Citadel/Castle bonus
+ Statue of Legion 50% bonus to the above (however it applies to ALL player's towns)
+ Other growth artifacts fixed bonuses (when equipped by a hero in town, including as part of the Statue of Legion)
+ Hoarde structure bonus (when applicable)
+ External dwellings flagged fixed bonus (+1/dwelling, in all same type towns belonging to the player)
+ Grail 50% to ALL of the above (but only for the town where it's built)

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

To avoid any confusion, while the Statue of Legion gives a similar 50% bonus as the Grail, the difference between them is that the Statue calculates the bonus based on the Town/Citadel/Castle growth only (not even including the Horde structures), while the Grail calculates the bonus on top of everything. On the other hand, the Statue bonus applies to all towns belonging to the player (similar with the flagged dwellings), while the Grail bonus only to the town where it's built, not altering the Statue/flagged dwelling bonuses in other towns.

This is also explained in the description of the two objects: for the statue it's very clearly explained that the bonus is applied to the Castle growth only, while for the Grail no limitation is mentioned for bonus appliance other than its "presence", implying that it refers only to the town where it is.
