when i said work i meant shape the clay, then cast a spell on it. As for summoned units in the game, i recall one of the devs mentioning something about them hang on

I also believe that golems should be built.  If nothing else, they should have an artifact like a 'heartstone' or something that is used to bestow life onto otherwise inanimate scraps of metal and earth. 

I really do hope we have summon units.   Even if 'War bears' are not included (because the bear cavalry would overshadow them anyway.  Right luckmann?)  I'd want to see a mix of classic units (things like sprites are found in not just MoM, but other games like HoMM and I think AoW as summon units) and new units (anything else that might be more 'original'.  A bishop fish, kelpie, or something else that has not really been done in many games)

My most desired summon unit is the phantom beast, but of course I already made that clear in the "draw your mount' thread.
