Good potential when there's an ai, a better ui in places, and some more balance. hopefully good modding capability too.

1. How to deal with Golems? They pretty much insta-kill any armies.
You mean fire giants, stone giants, etc? Yes, they kill everything. Best counter: Summon one of your own. Next: You need lots of attack to get past their armor, so need good weapons and lots of units grouped together. So buy a company of soldiers equipped with longsword or heavy warhammers or the like. Just make sure to have many individuals in the unit, each of them dishing out lots of damage.
Alternately, accumulate insane intelligence on your sovereign and cast some spell at it, particularly if you own the shards that go with the spell.

2. Or maybe auto-resolve comabts sucks so bad that with 10x higher attack you lose anyway?
I wouldn't trust auto resolve except maybe for 1 on 1 fights. The tactical ai is so bad that playing by hand means you'll win evenly matched fights easily so...

4. Can I make more adventurers or do I have to run like crazy with my sovereign to check all huts taht pop up everywhere?
You can hire adventurers and the like. Some of them seem to keep roaming the map even late game.

5. Do games take hundreds of turns, or is it just me?
They do for me too. But then I use a magician sovereign, she casts spells, and if it takes 20 turns for her mana to refill, the game drags just because of that.
