The humans revere statues made by the Agarthans and the Golem Crafters give them life through magic.

Overview[edit]

During the Middle Age, Agarthans are growing lesser in number and humans have moved to the caverns.

National Features[edit]

Golem Cult
In short, the golem cult is +10% HP per level of friendly dominion, for your golems. This includes non-national golems such as Claymen and "Golem" golems. It does not cover undead.

Not particularly good for mid- or late-game strategies, but a good unit for hording to take on independents early. They are useless in the face of cavalry.
