Couple unit ideas for critique/balance discussion

[bosssmiley]

IIRC the nearest thing I ever saw to a traditional golem in 2nd Ed Birthright was the Binman, a flesh golem (from the fluff) that became an Awnsheigh in the same lab accident that created the Chimaera.

Wanna create a golem in Cerilia? OK. That knowledge was lost during the fall of the Anuirean Empire, or maybe earlier. Time to head off to some old Masetian ruins, or to the Chimaereon, or maybe the ancient empires of Aduria to rediscover the fabled techniques of infusing life into matter (in game terms it's a simple Manual of Golems, possibly preserved as an encoded fresco or mural in a static location).

Get home, gather components, fork over the substantial GBs in creation costs, maybe substitute some bloodline strength for XP costs (hey, it's Cerilia and it's lost ancient magic) and expend the research actions to create. Expect every mage regent and magic-casting Awnsheighlen to want the knowledge for themself though.

For a golem war unit? Repeat the above process 10 times or more, and expect some serious political repurcussions from your wartech drive, oh Beloved Leader Regent Kim.
And watch out for that pesky Azrai taint, it gets everywhere.
