I'll be posting some more information here and/or on the help pages tomorrow evening (preferably the latter). This was a pretty large update, so once I get a bit more debugging and monitoring done, I'm going to need a break so my eyes stop swimming. :)
Meanwhile, I'm sure there are some players who will be willing to share details as they learn them.

I started a clan with alchemy as a secondary, and transmuted a golem from flesh to iron. What I got as a result is a golem made of iron with only as many hit points as a flesh, both in the individual parts and overall.
Bug or feature? |

Alchemy Specialization - These clans are able to transmute their golems and resources into other types, warping flesh into bone or iron depending on how advanced the clan has become. This does not change the hit points of a golem; only the resistances.

Looks like it is a feature. But is does make sense. Basically if you take a level 1 flesh (1600 resources) for a torso) and transmute it to a level 1 iron torso (7500 resources) you have less material to begin with, so less hit points. |

Okay, but shouldn't the resulting individual pieces have higher hit points? A normal iron head has 52 hit points, but the iron head on my converted golem has 15.
I suppose I can replace the converted iron pieces with new iron pieces, but I could have done that without converting. If all that defines the golem as an "iron" golem is the chest, I'd sooner just convert that and deal with the rest of the pieces on my own, rather than have weaker iron pieces that nevertheless take iron to repair. |

Then let the pieces get destroyed and replace them with real iron parts |

As the hit points on a regular flesh 1 head is also 15, I'm guessing hitpoints are based mostly on amount of materials rather than type of materials.
Of course the fact that a flesh 1 arm and flesh 1 hand (not to mentions legs and everything) require the same amount of raw material but have different HP threws a large wrench into this theory... :)
I guess if you say that location is also a factor you can resolve it somewhat. But hey, Logic wasn't my major. :) |

Something I've noticed:
As a Duke in my clan, I have the ability (over and above regular members) to invite, upgrade the clan buildings, and create new items, though I have no access to clan golems.
Given the magnitude of the investments, it seems that I should not have the ability to create new buildings, but I should be able to manage golems.
Either these permissions should be different (you change them yourself on a global level), or better yet, the Sovereign Magistrate should be able to determine the exact permissions of each access level. |

Eventually all the rank permissions (and even the titles themselves) will be assigned by the magistrate. Doing so in the first release of clans would have added to the complexity, however, so I opted not to mess with it for the time being.
The hit point issue with transmutations has already been confirmed as intentional, but let me just add that hit points are not the real reason why you'd want to transmute a golem. :)

Transmuting golems is interesting and I'm really keen on upgrading my clan buildings to enable more options...
So, if anyone is interested in Alchemy, let me know...

Hi Kep,
I know this is wishful thinking, but will an alchemist be able to convert other resources/items into money. :)
because that would really be awesome! :) |

Are You considering allowing a fusion of two clans?
Something like joining one clan into another - with all theirs resources and research combined, or something like that. |
