well thats becouse ants have outter skelet, unlike we humans who have inner skelet

I was just making a comparision. That had nothing to do with the argument. Does it really matter why? Point is, they are.

Yeah! Who cares about the books that started this whole franchise! We don't need them! Lets just make them let every other stereotypical dwarves!

The two men described in detail (aragorn and boromir) were both stronger than gimli. Aragorn had numenorian blood in it, but boromir didn't really.

in the terms of brute strenght i believe even tolkien had to wrote somewhere that dwarfs are stronger than humans.

just look at this - normal dwarf miner, is stronger than just some peasant, . . . why ? becouse just the way dwarfs live requires high strenght.
Im not saying humans are weak, but im saiyng that normal dwarf compared to normal human will be stronger, if the play " pushing the arm "

Humans would easily win an arm wrestle, if that's what you mean, because of their better leverage.

And whenever there were humans and dwarves together, humans were stronger.

We just gave you a two examples of men strength over dwarves.
Sturdier? I'll give you that. Durable? That as well, since Aule created them that way. But in muscle power? Men.
And how easy do you think farm life is? It's back-breaking labor, all day long.

as i understand from WERY old posts ( dont even recall how many sites back in this topic ) battlewagons will propably get removed ( HURAAAY !!! ).


Is this seriously happening? Because every other faction has cavalry; it's just like having archer units or spears. And to make it so the Dwarves don't have it would be pretty unbalanced.

Ok. How about moving bales of hay that weight 2x as much as you, pushing fully loaded carts of said hay. Though they probably used horses for that :shiftee:
Point is, we have two straight from the books examples of how men are stronger then dwarves. And since this is a LOTR mod, we kind of have to go by that :xd:

Who's for completely unbalancing the game! You! You!

Cav is so much better now than .05, and it would really be completely unfair for a faction to not have any.

You know, unless you've already done this and I'm way behind the times, would a Dale based cav for the dwarves be too far-fetched?

a weak early mid game cawalery consisted of dale folk, but with good trample - ayi, i like it, still better then the stupid battlewagon.
