-- Preview of Dwarves --

[The Big Red 1]

It sure does, by adding to the unit variety, which wouldn't let you get to the point where you're tired of looking at just the same dwarves over and over again.

Ohhh so KK's Dwarves make you tired now.


I vote no Hammers.

1. Tolkein never mentions them

2. Who uses a hammer anyway

3. Tolkein wanted to make dwarves use normal weapons and kind of humanize them like he did with elves. A.K.A. Not make them fantasy creatures and make them lifelike. This means Hammers stay in Warhammer.

4. Whats the point.

1. Tolkein never mentions them

While I also agree that war hammers should have no place in this mod, I am obligated to point out that Tolkien makes no mention of crossbows either, at least in the context of the dwarves.

[Stormrage]

What about crossbows? Did "Jayarar" mention them in the books? Its been a good 8 years since my last reading, I forgot..

I think dwarves should use hammers. And spears. And.. everything that gets the job done and is not extremely against the lore. Tolkien doesn`t mention pineapples in his books. Does this mean that there are no pineapples in Harad or somewhere?

X-post with shinsengumi.

I'm in love..............

But they add to gameplay and are practical.

Don't let your girlfriend know.

Don't let your girlfriend know.

Just got off the phone, dumped her..........I'll be spending too much time with my dwarven friends

But anyhow, you've done a wonderful job on the units!

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

Oh, certainly. No disagreement here! ^^

[Nikos]

and what about the pick?
i dont think the dwarves use the pick to fight

Actually in The Hobbit the dwarves of the Iron Hills fight with "Great Mattocks"

[Warwood11]

ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG omg omg...*gets his breath*..
I LOVE YOU KK... teh dwarves are AWESOME
i stared at the pics for 25 minutes b4 i began to post rofl
but srsly... AWESOME JOB!!!!

P.S. have my babies.

I don't think Hammers are that unrealistic if they're going to be using Pick Axes. They're both weapons that miners would use, and the historical war hammer looked a lot like a cross between a pick axe and a hammer.

Instead of creating new unit though, I would make them an alternate weapon for the miners, so that some would have pick axes and some would have mining hammers.

[Úlfhéðinn]

Those dwarves just look too damn good , hope you make sure their armor can upgrade all the way to full plate or something similar for most units as I like my dwarves heavily armored.

Keep up the good work, can't wait to see your orcs.

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

Don't forget that we have shared ownership with you, me, Mithrandir and Big Red 1.

[DjAci]

Very well done.

I agree, a unit of Ironbow Archers would be very useful.

Love the name

[Babagitta]

Fantastic job again! Very well done!

Is it possible to see a screenshot of one single Dwarve standing side by side with a Gondorian (for example) just to understand the difference of the size?

[Varjon]

I'm not sure is animation for dwarves ready. Those models might still be in regular human size.

[Mithrandir]

KK did make a dwarf-sized skeleton, so I think those units are shorter than men. The animation problem is due to the smaller skeleton, as far as I know.

[Khan84]

Great work

As I thought would happen, the ones holding the pikes seem to hold them somewhat arkwardly, I think because the units are smaller.
+We moved, yay!
