What are some useful strategies for construction?

[Ironhawk]

There are also a handful of good spells in the Construction path. Can't remember them offhand but I know that Mechanical Men (and whatever the more powerful version of that spell is) are both there. Thats a good spell, particularly in the hands of a powerful Earth mage. Is weapons of sharpness there too? Or legions of steel? Can't recall. Tho I think that Iron Dragons and Golems are at the top end and they are good summons.

There isn't any more powerful version of Mechanical Men.

Mechanical Militia is a global (Construction 9) that gives Mechanical Men as province defence, but that's not quite the same thing, and not very useful at that point, IMO.

Weapons of Sharpness and Legions of Steel are both in Construction.

Forge of the Ancients is one of the more useful globals, Construction 7.

No, it was Clockwork Horrors that I was thinking of. CH is better than MM or vice versa.
