    Default Why the Dwarves doesn't have cavalry ?

    I read the Hobbit and I think Bibbo and Thorin and Balin and 11 other Dwarves in the company has ride in "mini-horse" . This is the lore .
    I don't mean there will be several hundreds dwarves cav charge in the formation of 5000 orces , but one unit with 60 horsemen spawn in 20-30 turns like ent doesn't sound too bad , I think so
    I'm newbie in forum and my english is bad so forgive me if I was wrong

    Searching the forum would have yielded the following results:

    1. Altough dwarves used ponies to travel, it isn`t mentioned they ever went to war on them.

    2. For diversity and balance. If every faction would have access to everything, were would the fun be? And dwarves already got the best infantry. With more cavalry than the dalish ones, it would imo be to easy to win with the dwarves.

    3. They already got dalish mercenaries.

    4. I think pony riding dwarves would look stupid. There i said it.

    Because you can not grow horses in the underground.

    There are many reasons but this is probably the most damning one from a realism standpoint.

    Closed as requested.

    A lot of good reasons...

    Speaking of the dwarves it would be more lore-friendly to see 2h-hammers dwarves wielders or dwarves with maces / hammers. AFAIK there is no dwarf unit equiped with warhammers. Why the dwarves don't have hammers ?

    Instead of ponies, dwarven archers would be more realistic and even more lore correct.
