-- Preview of Dwarves --

[The Doge of Venice]

Our battle AI will be great, and trust me - Fighting a siege battle versus dwarves (particularly when playing Orcs of the MM) won't be easy... In fact, I'm pretty sure orcs of MM will the the hardest faction to play.

yeah I would dread trying to use goblins vs them but if orcs of mm have trolls with a nice area attack that could make it better. even the most elite goblin would pale to dwarves but if you vastly outnumbered the dwarves and sent units at them one at a time eventually the dwarves will be exhausted and you'll be fresh giving a late battle advantage, and in the story it seems that goblins mainly beat dwarves with masses of poor archers but that prob won't work in this mod.

wow this looks so AWESOME!!!! congratulations this will be a spectacular mod!!

[DashSia]

Great Work!!!!! Ready for the time of release!

Will dwarves have a lot of stamina as in the story?

I think so.

[Swagger]

but gimli is always late..


aragon and legolas run much faster than him, and he's always tired (gimli)..lol

Yes, but Legolas is an elven prince and Aragorn is a Dúnedain chieftain. Keeping up with them is a great accomplishment.

[Krechet(SiCh)]

ctually dwarves should have similar stamina as elves but move sloweer then elves or men

[Mithrandir]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[DashSia]

Looks like this mod is based on the movie! lol!

in the book Gimli easily kept up with Legolas and Aragorn. and if you have read the book "habbits" before "Lord of the rings" you see that dwarves can run march faster than humen and they will never get tired. (for example in the battle at the end of the story). Also in the legend of Silmalirion which is written by G.R.R.Talkin too (and explains about the createn of elves and humen and dwraves and orcs.... and answer some question like who was sauron and how did he come to earth) You see that one "Manoy" named "Aole" has created dwarves for hard work and to stand against difficulties!

Howver, looks like this mod is based on the movie so forget about it!

As the team has said in the past the mod is based on lore and is only using the movies as visual aids. So they probably knew what you said, but they don't mind the input.

I think I have mixed uo this with Lort:total war ('cause it was based on the movie)

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!
its good to be based on Talkin's world not peter jackson's world!
then i think these are the facts:

1- dwarves were faster for long marchs and they carried many equipment and food with them (mentioned in "Habbits" book)
2- dwarves will have more stamina (mentioned in "Silmalirion" book for example in one battle against Murgut (The Lord of Sauron) which humen and elves and dwarves were allied, when the dargon attacked them only dwarves standed againt it and standed its flames!
3- They are super warriors and have excellent wealth and super weapon. but they should be low in number (They don't breed too fast) and they should be expensive. (they are usually don't like to fight for honor, they just fight for money or when they lose all their money if they don't fight!)

Don't fight for honor!? I think in the appendix is said that when one elder dwarf was killed by orcs the dwarves stormed many orc settlements and fought a bloody battle in front of the gates of Moria.

I ment that they don't join humen wars untill they are straightly involved! or for example one dwarf selled humen for gold!
anyway, I'm a fan of dwarves myself!

[Nirkaw]

Looking GOOD!!

Doesn't feel like Tolkien to me... Perhaps my dwarven LOTRO charachter...

[Lü Bu]

This guy looks like one from WotR

[ace4455]
