What is a golem?

meh. even though it sounds cool, 50 pts for golem cult and forced production scales hardly seems worth it; especially since the real gain occurs only on defense.

on the positive side, having wasted all those points, you have a better chance of needing them defensively...

Not only in defense. A teleporting Golem, a squad of flying Iron Dragons will still have increased hitpoints when they land in enemy territory. It take several turns for their hitpoints to go down to normal in enemy dominion.
