Iron Golem (Item)

Unique Item, not to be confused with the unit Iron Golem

The Iron Golem creates 1-5 acres of new farmland every turn. You can destroy farmland and build other buildings on it. If you don't attack but gain land, you are rather suspect, so many mages that farm the iron golem also attack a bit, to make their chronicles look less suspicious.

The Golem has a hidden upkeep (mana reduction) that starts at 4k acres.

• at 4k acres, 10% m.p. reduction
• at 5k acres, 20% m.p. reduction
• at 6k acres, 30% m.p. reduction
• at 7k acres, 40% m.p. reduction
• at 8k acres, 50% m.p. reduction

Reductions apply to base mana income, opposite to what moon favour does. Black Sabbath can help you to keep the Iron golem longer.

Typical sale price

I paid 2.9B for it on Guild (7 minute) server, six days before geddon. It would have gone for 2.0B if I hadn't bid. Carltsai 31 August 2008
On Solo, one week before geddon, it sold for 1.0B Carltsai 19:52, 15 November 2008 (CET)

I sold it for 3.6B on Solo, a wekk before Armaggedon.. Only received around 1.8B, but it was worth it as I couldn't handle it anymore. Dskzero
