What is a golem?

I have had great fun with W9E4 Daughter of Land and Machaka. She can pump out quite a number of claymen, has high starting dominion and generates her own gems! A simple Water Sword gives her defence of 16 which becomes almost 18/19 (?) without shield. Hide/Eye shields have 0 enc. and can be done with national gems, but earth shields would work too, esp. after she can Summon Earthpower. And Ironskin with a shield (weightless tower shield, IIRC) gives her nice protection.

Next, I will try... dual W9E9 Daughter of River!

Nifty. What scales are you using with her? I tried Fortress (60), Golem Cult, Heat 3, and a touch of order and barely managed Dominion 4. Its a neat idea, but how do you afford the Big Spiders when you've got her?

I decided it isn't worth doing. You have to have Order, Magic and Golem cult. That leaves you for scales to use for extra points, and you need lots of money for those Black Hunters...

I decided to try E9 Cyclops with Water 4-9, depending from points. That reinvigoration would be really nice for Pythium, but I'm trying to use C'tis too. Both have access to cheap communicants, and C'tis has better holy unit. That would also allow me to try and use Poison Slingers. And C'tis can use Enchanment much better than Pythium.
