How to use Golems?

[Zen]

80 Pearls or 20Fire/Water 20Air/Earth (of which R'lyeh only has access initially to water, which is used by VoT more than likely if you want to support your Elemental summoning) to be able to Summon Golems isn't exactly "little difficulty".

And as I said originally, Arco is the only nation _without boosters_ that can summon Golems (by luck even). You can summon Golems with R'lyeh, but it's a rarity I have found since I (Purely a me thing) will rarely make a Ring of Wizardry without a forge bonus. Unless you are playing in some sort of hordeathon it's not really a good use of your resources (especially pearls) when Bane Lords, Devils (etc) come into play (As soon as T20, but to be safe between 25-30). I don't really see you having 80 Pearls + the 30 a shot per golem (usually it's not profitable to use less than 3 as a reactionary force) from turn 25-35.

The only times I can see making a Ring of Wizardry, at full price, for golem work is in the late game (where better options exist) or if you have a global like a Arcane Nexus or you buy into the horde mentality (some do and I guess I can see it, I don't like playing those sort of boring games).

So yes, it can be done, but not what I would consider feasibly in a MP scenario. Which colors my perspective.

Well, Voice of Tiamat usually solves the elemental gem problem, making it quite possible to forge an Elemental Staff for the purpose. Of course settings an mileage vary, so I'm not sure if getting one can be said to be reliable. Same for the blood stone, which is even easier usually.

Doesn't Arco need at least one astral booster to make Golems? Or how's it done "_without boosters_"?

Boron - I was thinking someone would put jade armor or boots of quickness on a golem. So +3 attack right? But I agree, the 8 base attack & defense is rather problematic.

Poor Arcoscephale indeed needs one booster to get a Golem. I think only R'lyeh can get Astral 3/Earth 2 without any boosts, as their Starspawns appear to have full randoms. Of course, only one Starspawn in 64 will qualify, but still.

I just have a few stupid idotic questions which I think I need to know
1. how do you summon golems?
2.what does sc stand for?

I know these are stupid but I need to know

[Molog]

1. Golem summoning spells are in the contruction path. You need earth and astral to summon golems.

If go to the research screen you can click on the paths listed and then you see all the spells in that path. You can click on all the spells to see what they do.

2. SuperCombattant. Fighter that can kill lots of people without dieing.

thank you I know that they are stupid questions but I have not learnt about everything in the game yet...

[shovah]

dont worry mate, im new to, but im slowly learning and im sure you are too

[spirokeat]

What about Earth boots ? all you need for those is earth 2 and you have a basic earth booster.

From memory all of the paths get one basic booster.

Astral - Starshine
Blood - Brazen Skull
Fire - Flame Helmet
Earth - Earth Boots
Nature - Thistle Mace
Water - Water Bracelet
Death - Skull Staff
Air - Winged Helmet

Then there are the others like crystal coin, bloodstone, skull of fire, moonvine, bloodthorn, armour of souls etc etc etc

Different paths have different number of boosters. I think all have two. There is a spreadsheet with that info around somewhere...
