Hi, im a bit confused about readme Im currently at BGEE part with EET.. and Im not able to find some info I need so I ask here Where do I find the golem manual?

[Argent77]

There are no golem manuals in BGEE. You have to proceed to the Siege of Dragonspear campaign first. One of them can already be found in the opening dungeon of SoD.

Hi again, I have to ask, where are all of those tomes which can teach me golem constructing? I found up to volume 3 + maggot golem during the siege of dragonspear part, I understand that rest are found during SoA or ToB? Or did I miss some books?

[Argent77]

No, you didn't miss any in SoD.

Volumes 4 and 5 can be found somewhere in SoA as well as ToB. Volume 6 is a bit more difficult to acquire. Many tomes can also be purchased from various merchants. Later in ToB you will also meet a certain merchant who deals with golem specific stuff. Exotic tomes are more difficult to come by, usually only one instance per volume for the whole game.

[konva]

what do you mean, you mean i have to start over new whole game to find more exotic books?

[Argent77]

No. You can find all exotic golem tomes in a single run. But in many cases you will find only a single instance of each volume, so that only one mage in your party can learn from it. It should't really be a problem unless you replace party members regularly.

New version: Golem Construction for Spellcasters v3.0

This release provides full IWD:EE support. You can build the majority of golem types that can be found in the BG2EE part of the mod. Some golem types have been removed because of setting and time period reasons (for example, Wild Magic was mainly a byproduct of the Time of Troubles, therefore Magic Golems don't exist yet in IWD:EE). Golems are generally slightly weaker than in BG2EE, but in return they can be built much earlier. You can find out more details in the document "golem_information-iwdee.txt".

Second feature is a component that adds effect to spells specifically for golems. For example, high level fire-based spells can heat up iron golems so they can deal fire damage for a time. Other spells can even change the nature of golems (e.g. Flesh to Stone can transform a flesh golem into a stone golem). More information can be found in the documents "golem_information.txt" or "golem_information-iwdee.txt".

Full changelog:

• Added content for IWD:EE
• Added new Tweaks component "Make golems vulnerable to specific spell effects"
• Added new Tweaks component "Reduce weapon immunities and resistances for constructed golems"
• Added new spell "Banish Golem Spirit"
• Added German voice files for Nym
• Added script fixer to construction dialog in case of problems with max. number of golem followers
• Fixed stats and attributes of several golem types and variants
• Many more smaller fixes and improvements

You can find one copy in SoA:

somewhere in Firkraag's dungeon.

You can also find more copies in ToB:

One copy can be found somewhere in the Fire Giant Temple. Another copy can be purchased from a special merchant after defeating Sendai.

New version: Golem Construction for Spellcasters v3.1

Changes:

• Fixed incorrect path to IWDEE-specific lines of text from English to the selected language

 

The previous release (v3.0) pointed to the wrong file for IWDEE-specific lines of text for French, German and Polish. English installations were not affected. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is a quick preview about what I'm currently planning for the next release:

Spoiler

Some content specifically for the BG1EE part of the game. While the party is certainly too inexperienced to create golems on their own, they could commission a golem from someone else.

 

I thought of two new golem types (only available in BG1EE).

1. The Doll Golem. I have a custom creature animation in mind that should work fine for that kind of golem. I would also implement the special "disease" triggered by its bite, but not as lethal as described in the linked article. The necromancer Arkion should be able to make Doll Golems for a price and the right ingredients.

2. The Bone Doll, as a darker variant of the first one. It would also use a custom creature animation. The attack does not apply any special effects. However, it will self-destruct when destroyed and hurt nearby creatures. The necromancer Nemphre should be able to make Bone Dolls for a price and the right ingredients. Maybe this one should not be available for good-aligned protagonists or high reputation parties.

hi, that looks cool I have one question, how to make adamantite bars? Wish grants me only adamantite ore, is this the right item?

[Argent77]

Looks like the golem tome is still using the term "adamantine bar". Everything should have been replaced by "adamantine ore" by now. I will fix it with the next release.

[konva]

ok thanks
