This monster is created by the Graft Flesh spell, taking the average strength of the two units that are sacrificed to create it (rounded down), as well as getting the promotions of both. Note that only promotions are retained, not basic abilities. Golems don't gain experience; and unlike most golems, this golem does not gain promotions from any outside source.
Use this ability to escape restrictions on national units! Graft an archmage to a highpriest to gain a powerful caster with both Divine and Sorcery ability, and possibly multiple rank 3 spell schools; but be aware that the monster will never level up again. Now, promote new master casters! Or, try combining two experienced warriors who have different complementary promotions.
Civilopedia
It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!--Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

Strategy Text
The combination of two units through the Graft Flesh spell, a flesh golem can have a wide variety of abilities and has a decent base strength to back them up.
Popular Flesh Golem Recipes
- Kraken + Anything
Strong, Hidden Nationality Unit. Once a Kraken is grafted into a Flesh Golem, it no longer counts against the per-caster limit, potentially allowing for an endless supply of high strength, hidden nationality units. (Guardian Vines and Griffons can also be summoned and grafted for free units.)
- Religion/Civic-dependent Unit + Anything
A Flesh Golem grafted from religion or civic-dependent units (i.e. Hemah or Royal Guard) will not leave when you change religion or civics.
- Cultist + Archmage
Can use spells from all 3 branches/levels of magic.
- Ashen Veil Inquisitor + Mage
Similar to the above, but slightly stronger and has the Command promotion. In exchange, can only reach level 3 in Fire, Entropy, and Death magic.
- Druid + Any Spellcaster
Similar to the above two, but does not require the Ashen Veil. The more spells accesible by the other spellcaster, the better.
