I wouldn't fret over missing out on the Mermaid's honestly...why is it so hard to get mermaid awards???? I was able to craft ONE and only upgrade to level 5, keep finishing the spire disappointed each time :{
Remember: YOU CANNOT TELEPORT EVO BUILDINGS OUT OF YOUR CITY!!
Because of this, you will want to be very selective in what evo buildings you place, since they are still an 'all-in' building. If/when you decide you need that space for something else, your ONLY option is to delete your hard-earned evo building!
And should you decide later on that you want it again? Tough toots - start from scratch and begin again with trying to craft the lv1 base building, and then waiting for the artifacts to come back into the spire rotation, and then trying to win all 9 artifacts yet again!
IMHO, the only evos currently worth consideration;
1. Fire Phoenix. (obvious reasons - even a Lv2 is a noticable boost.)
2. Witch's Hut.
Frogs for human players is amazaballs and completely game-changing. Ork production is absolutely stellar. Another 'S-Tier' level building.
3. Brown Bear
Somewhat loses in value it's feeding effect once you unlock Simia Sapians AW at the very end of Ch14, but the free unit production every 48hrs is worth it's weight in gold regardless.
Even w/SS, you can still abuse the ever living gak out of the feeding effect thanks to time + supply instants for an even bigger 'bang-for-buck' pay off.
4. Moon Bear
3kp in a 3x3 every 24hrs is nothing to sniff at. Also has decent enough production of specialist resources. Feeding effect is 'meh', but the free kp's on daily collect is the real winner here.
5. Storm Phoenix
This one only really jumps in value once you have unlocked & leveled up the Elvenar Trade Center AW at the end of Halflings... Even if you're a pure fighter, this one can still be a solid value for it's combo-wombo ability to really push your Sentient goods production through the roof, albeit only temporary.
But it is a good way to massively boost those over night 9hr productions and really gain the most from your seeds investments.

Humans LOVE this one because 'free priests'. Elves get kinda screwed since their Sorcs are by far and away the most useless 'mage' class unit in the game.
But Humans are a must-have since our barracks units are generally among the worst/near worst in the game at what they do... (except for Priests of course, which are S-Tier level units!) Elves of course might even skip this one entirely, since the main feature (sorceress) is pretty crap.
Did I mention that Humans love this one?!

Only if you're a tournament nut honestly, since it's resource pick-up ain't worth the 48hr wait.
Of course, once you unlock the Timewarp AW at the very end of Constructs, this building pretty much loses it's only reason for existing.
Every other evo building is basically 'meh' to outright 'dumpster fire' in terms of what it brings, (or rather doesn't bring!), to the table.
Now maybe if the devs would get off their backsides and just fix the code, we could finally get the ability to teleport out old/outdated evo buildings back into our inventories, and none of the above would actually matter anymore?!
(...and yes, FoE has managed to do it, so the only reason Elvenar can't is because we get stuck with the lazy/incompetent devs.)
