I propose a race consisting entirely of golems.
For now, there's no clear idea, just some sketches.
Level 1
Paper golem. (paper factory)
Cheap to build, weak, vulnerable to fire (fire *4). Using fire against a paper golem lowers its morale. Built in large quantities.
Upgraded: Cardboard golem. (cardboard factory)
Built in a paper factory by mages who select the best paper.
Paper golems can also launch paper airplanes with poisoned tips, but the hit chance is low, and there's a chance it will hit an ally instead of the target.
Light golem. Made from lightweight paper, allowing this golem to fly.
Paper golems are used by novice golem lords because paper is the easiest material to control, and there's no need to worry about damaging it, as it's cheap.
Level 2
Wooden golem. (magic forest)
The first wooden golem was Pinocchio. Mages learned the secret of creating such golems to launch mass production. This golem is relatively durable but vulnerable to fire (fire *2).
Oak golem. (more durable than a regular one). Also, not susceptible to magic that affects the mind.
Aspen golem (vampiric attack ability, but twice as weak as normal; the enemy does not retaliate with a vampiric attack).
Level 3
Iron golem. (smelting plant)
It is made entirely of iron, but its strength is insufficient to effectively move its entire mass, so it is not much better than a swordsman with only a thin layer of armor. It is an excellent conductor and is grounded, so it has complete immunity to electricity. It also takes half damage from fire and cold but full damage from water.
Steel golem.
Because steel is stronger, the golem has been significantly lightened, which has increased its speed and abilities, but its durability has not increased.
Cast iron golem.
It differs from the iron golem primarily in its durability. In addition to a regular attack, this golem can headbutt. It deals double damage to the enemy but also takes the same amount of damage itself.
Level 4
Gold golem (mint)
The gold golem is made of gold. However, it is not made of solid gold but of gold plates. The main cost of this golem is gold, as it is an expensive and easily workable material.
Most of the cost is in materials, so a large percentage of the cost can be recovered by melting it down into gold. Also, gold from an enemy golem is a very good trophy.
a) Coin golem. Consists of a pile of gold coins. Does not require serious processing. Therefore, it costs only a little more in materials, but it is also weaker.
b) Gold fiber golem.
Made of skillfully woven gold threads. Expensive to process but effective.
The number of gold golems is usually limited not by the difficulty of creating them but by the amount of gold available.
Level 5
Knight-golem.
Mages have learned to transfer the spirits of knights into golems, which has significantly improved their combat ability. This golem is made of hardened metal, so these golems attack and defend effectively.
Light knight-golem.
Light knight-golems can almost fly (from the outside, it looks like flight), but they are more expensive and more fragile.
Heavy knight-golem.
Heavy knight-golems are slow but very durable. It is difficult for them to reach the enemy, but when they do, they fight well.
Ball golem.
Mages decided to create a golem unlike anything else, just to make it more effective. As a result, they created a very strange structure in the form of a large ball with steel tentacles. The spherical shape allows it to move quickly with minimal effort, maintain the stability of the structure even with significant damage, attack in all directions, and even sometimes roll over the enemy.
Special ability: charge. Deals double damage, but after the attack, the enemy is guaranteed to counterattack, and the ball golem's defense ability is considered zero. If the enemy group is completely crushed, the ball golem will occupy the cell. It is possible to charge into two armies at once, but then the damage is halved.
Flexible ball golem.
This golem has elasticity. It can jump to any point within its movement range (first, it jumps in place, and then makes the final jump). Instead of a charge, this golem can use a leap, which is the same but with a cavalry bonus. Also, the golem's flexibility allows it to perform an unreturned attack and bounce back.
The disadvantage of the flexible golem is its lower survivability and attack power.
... I'll finish it later ... :)
