An effective strategy with Academy would be upgrading your gremlins as soon as possible and use golems as shields and also for repairing your lost golems to minimize the losses. Upgrading your golems as soon as possible helps a lot as well considering they always retaliate. This combined with Mark of the Wizard and whatever damaging spells you have can get you going unless you're really unlucky with creatures guarding mines/resources/artifacts, but that pretty much goes for any faction when we're talking week-1-creeping so.

1) wrong kind of gremlins you choose there 
2) you don't take golems during creeping. also, golems are the ones (along with djinns) to be sacrificed in order to build kshatras and titans some times

Why is it the wrong kind of gremlins? You'll be able to ressurect troops in order to minimize losses. An why sacrifice the golems? Building them will allow you to claim those mines quick enough, I've used this approach several times and it always gets me started, I even found it pretty easy to creep early with Academy, thus I can't agree with it's position in that list.

I do not believe Vangelis ever learnt to use that kind of creeping  Normally saboteurs seem the 'right' choice having more attack and initiative but that said golem/master gremlin combo can still work and has a few exploits of its own. For instance if you split gremlins in stacks of 1 each can resurrect the last golem for 1hp and save you time.
That said I prefer saboteurs because they can also sabotage golems Easier to kill horde of iron golems in the first week even.

what exactly do you mean by your first statement you elvin?
back on the previous point. NO.
Academy needs ONLY gremlins in the corner and gargoyles surrounding it. that's it. finito. now, if for special situations you need to adapt, that is another case.

I'm merely confident you never attempted the master gremlin - golem combo, you are not the experimenting type.

Well, perhaps then the reason why you find it pretty tough to creep with Academy is because you only stick to this type of tactics. Not saying it's wrong, ineffective or anything, it's personal I believe. I just find it more useful having units I can keep defending with but still cause damage (infinite retaliation) and can be restored.

didi i anywhere say that academy has difficult creeping? i put them low in my list because i find other factions a lot easier. for example, havez has one of the easiest creepings ever.
to add to that, me saying that with academy you need only gremlins and gargoyles, means that they are very good creepers.
lastly, as a reply to elvin, i have experimented alot but not in official games. where i know the way to win, i don't need to experiment!
