-- Preview of Dwarves --

[largejack]

Sorry if I'm on the wrong point here but I'm in a bit of a hurry and can't read the threads in depth, but mattocks are indeed very much lore. The dwarves in the Battle of Five armies used them as described by Tolkien in the Hobbit.

[Eleril]

Well,I didn't see this one coming.As always great stuff KK.As for the people suggesting Hammer-wielding and Iron Bowmen dwarves I'll just say a couple of words.As I wrote in the dev's forum :

The main reason Tolkien never mentions a dwarf with a hammer as a weapon is that he wanted his dwarves to be different,unique.It's in one of his Letters.I think that a hammermen for the dwarves will be a bit Forgotten realm-ish.

And as for the iron bows idea-the only folk in Middle-earth we know that can and did use such bows were the Numenorians.The bows the dwarves in "The Hobbit" used were given to them by Beorn and I can't recall any description of a dwarven army witha single bowmen unit in it.
Great suggestion with the artilery-it would be nice replacement for the cavalry.
And KK,you know the usual-keep up the good work and I think you'll make the greatest trolls this game have ever seen.

The capitain is so fu ck ing amazing... (forgive my words, but it is...)

[King Théoden]

I've been a week not on the site (computer broken )
and now I log in and I see this AWESOME dwarven preview.
good job KK.

Damn KK you take my breath away these units are amazing I never thought this team would pull off the dwarven faction but damn did you prove me wrong well done... well done.

Yet I imagine mattocks themselves carrying just as much practicality (that is, being strong against armor) as the axes already present.

So do hammers. The only reason to include them would be visual difference between units, but even for that purpose, we don't need them, as we have plenty of weapons to choose from.

If you replace, say, the Dwarven Warriors' axes with swords then they would be just as much of a sword-and-shield unit as the Iron Guard are.

You can't have a different weapon for every unit. I still think the dwarves have one too many axe-wielding units, though, so I'd like to see more swords.

[The Big Red 1]

I want to see a two handed sword unit.

[EVYATAR]

I want to see a two handed sword unit.

LOL
it will look weird to see a small dwarf hold huge two handed sword
he will fall on the ground
lol

[Mithrandir]

I want to see a two handed sword unit.

I can't see why not.

Dale preview I would guess.

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Yes. Tomorrow I'll show some Dale Units. Northmen CAvalry would be beside them

[Code_Knight]

With a dwarves thread it had to happen, shall I give you the address to the dwarven strip club?

@everyone, just wait for tomorrow to ask Dale questions. This thread is for good dwarven fun...questions.

[McGydion]

[jakk o'slovakk]

Just perfect!
Maybe I play first with dwarves...

These dwarves look much better in my opinion than your gondorians or elves(they look great too).

Merged

[Faenaris]

I'm totally stunned by the sheer awesomeness of this preview. STUNNED, I say!

[The Count(er)]

These dwarves look much better in my opinion than your gondorians or elves(they look great too).

Just to let you know he made Gondor and Harad not the Elves

[Demon Deimos]

Elves were done by SHREDDER.

[AlphaDelta]

I have zero interest in Lord of the rings, but these units look fantastic and if they are a measure of the quality of the mod, then I can't wait for this one!

Cheers

Maybe that should be our slogan......

@All, thanx for your complements, our next preview should be soon (today).
