@Stratego (dev), since I share @makazuwr32 worries about fast production of buildable flyers can you make sure that using the maximum amount of actions gargoyles aren't built in a time shorter than normal production? Since gargoyles require 3 turns they should be built in 28 actions (first turn you generally can apply 4 actions only and the following 8 each).

[Stratego (dev)]

28 is way too much imho - no one will build them. now it is 10 - can be 14 maybe?

[Alexander82]

What about 20? After all building them shouldn't be the main mean to recruit gargoyles but just a way to employ workers in late game.

[Stratego (dev)]

ok but would you ever build any gargoyle, if you can build 4 bone towers (turning to golems) for the same cost?
this was we are giving a never used alternative imho

[makazuwr32]

uhm personally i will because gargoyles are permanent while bone towers when transformed into golems are not and will vanish.

Also gargoyles are faster and flyers (thus receiving only 1 damage from enemy melee units).

[Stratego (dev)]

ok, i inceased it to 15 turns and we will see, if will be used to spam them we can increase further.

[Stratego (dev)]

Bad news: i have to publish NOW (in a few hours)
as reanimation does not work on saved-re-loaded games (since last update - because of modification about phantoms)

so please check the current changes and tell me if any bug found!

reanimation fix: uos 15

uhm personally i will because gargoyles are permanent while bone towers when transformed into golems are not and will vanish.

I totally agree. Any action spent on gargoyles in late game would be better than any action used on bone towers

[Stratego (dev)]

this sounds like bone towers are totally useless
but ok, we will see, if i see in multiplayer gargolye spams we can change.

[Alexander82]

It is not that they are useless, it is that those are defenseswhile you can use gargoyles as units to attack

[Stratego (dev)]

new unit: daemon for undeads.
uos already.
