    Default Dwarven Horses/Ponies, VOTE!

    Too long have people argued over this, now lets vote.

    It is a simple fact, against archers Dwarves are weak and are exhausted long before the enemy missiles are.

    Post solutions if any!

    (You can not recruit them or mod them out if you don't like them. Did Dwarves ride ponies in the Hobbit or not*)

    * I know this was for travelling purpose.

    Why don't people want to have a counter to archers?

    No and No. The Dwarves dont ing ride ponies! The Dwarf campaign makes you adept to this as it should and this creates a unique challange.
    The AI is like a retarded overwieght child. He realy want all those fries, he just does not know how to get them. http://img1.coolspacetricks.com/imag...unny/81776.gif

    Chasing archers around the map *isses me off despite the challenge. Why cant archers exhaust?

    Nein! The Dwarves do not ride into battle, they keep their feet firmly planted on the earth.

    They do its just the AI bonus. The dwarf campaign realy makes you adapt to this sort of situation and forces you to be more tactical on the campaign map. Dont like it dont play them. If Dwarves had cavarly theyd be too powerfull.

    Well that would make them to effective against goblins and make the OotMM campaign a much harder then the Dwarf one. Trust me Snagas can be dealth with. Another thing you can do is is wait for turn 50 or so for the Orcs to get alot of heavy infantry through advanced citys so their requitment of snagas will plumit.

    I managed to complete it on VH/VH with the Dwarves.. The OOTMM are a joke, it's Rhun that are the problem and their Pikeman (Vault Guards) are formidable and their Iron Guard do well against their Loki Rim. But you can hire Dale Horseman as mercenary Units.

    Seriously though, the Snaga issue will decrease as the game progresses, as Tibs mentioned. Also, use more crossbowdwarves, they tear those runts up.
    I agree, a line of 6 Crossbow Dwarves and a couple of Ballista, you can hit them from distance before it even comes to a Skirmish.

    No, but I wouldn't mind seeing a long range light artillery piece for the Dwarves.... something like a Roman scorpion.

    I can't even find lore reference for catapult of balistae .

    Though Tolkien Dwarves evolved into the mighty war engineers of every other fantasy world..... the war construct engineers of Tolkien's world, seemed to have been the evil races.

    Makes you wonder how the Last Alliance got through the Black Gate or wasn't it constructed then Maybe they went through Minas Ithil.
