I haven't personally used a golem (although I hope to build one once finances allow), but since golems are rad, here's my disconnected ramblings.

If you're building a golem, go big or go home. Make sure it looks fine as hell. I've seen only one low-effort golem on Drachenfest so far, and it stuck out like an eyesore. If at all possible, get some kind of internal cooling in the suit, too.

Doing sieges is my favorite part of Drachenfest by far (pic related). Get at least one siege golem, if you can. However, try not to have too many siege golems in your camp (which one is that, by the way?). There's only so much gate to work with, and you don't want to steal the show from the others.

...unless you get two or more golems to operate a huge battering ram, in which case you are my hero and I'll personally buy you a bottle of mead.

Most people who have golems don't bring them to every battle. As far as I've understood, it's one part courtesy and one part not-wanting-to-be-in-that-boiling-hell-of-a-suit-for-more-than-fifteen-minutes.
