Default Re: How to use Golems?

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.
