@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).

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

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.

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

new unit: daemon for undeads.
uos already.
