you said the upgrades are faster " if you need something done quick ", thats not true,m the time it takes is more then building of the 2,3 batalions of some unit ( mostly more, by stronger units )

[Devon]

It takes 4-6 on average, for the more finished factions. There are some exceptions because the xp values really hadnt been messed with by 05. Check out isen though...or gondor.

[alin10bigg]

my suggestion: dwarves should build anything way faster than anyone else but should take more time to build units (they didn't have to many females among) them

[Funbomb]

Or you can make the horde even smaller since less females=less reproduction and I won't go in too much detail for that.

i disagree they are fine the way they are

Exactly! It would be unfair for the Dwarves in later game. It's only beneficial for like 5 minutes, after which it is hell.

When is it ever said they don't have many females? Gimli just says it's hard to tell them apart because they have beards too.

Btw...if anyone is in need of a good dwarf stradegy...spam a couple of demolishers. Insane trample, and some pretty tough armor too.

[Funbomb]

I've done that before, I guess your right about the females then, I would hate to be a dwarf. Kissing a dwarf with a females beard in your face.

Demolishers are actually could with trample, just they are slow and people would know to run away. It can also be good for buying you some time, put it in the extra armor and let enemy try to kill while you build.

Brutal AI nearly owned me today with 2-3 of them. I lost like 7 combo hordes trying to stop them from taking down my base Rob's making em smarter...I never saw that coming

Make some pikes, let them get ran over and it does A LOT of damage to them, I've ran over pikes and it happened to me.

[Devon]

I was gobs, spamming soldiers and archers and trolls Pikes were too expensive.

[Funbomb]

Trolls are about the same price I think, anyways, get the troll a tree. Shouldn't it knock the demolisher back or something/stun it?

[Devon]

Trolls are 700, idk what demolishers are..but brutal gets them 50% off. Unless you mean the same price as spears...in which case...no. A tree vs a giant metal battering ram?

The AI is getting smarter. Brutal wasn't extremely hard in the normal game. Now I am constantly getting swarmed by enemy units while I'm hiding in a corner. (Yes I'm not too good at this.) I usually win in the end, but sometimes matches go on for hours. (I'm VERY defensive.) It's good to have a challenge.

I think dwarven hordes are fine in size. I would like for there to be a different dwarven elite unit. I don't like the ones they have now. Maybe a dwarven captain with 2 guards that can call in a small bombardment (1 or 2 rocks) with high armor, mid health, and can only do minimal damage. The guards would do the close combat.

[Devon]

RJ ai unedited owns rotwk ai...because rob changed the bonus from 15% discount and build time off to 50% discount So everything is half as costly...but rob's been editing it as he goes...and now brutal is quite a challenge.

New Dwarf units...well, you might be able to get some ideas here.
Yeah...that's my own mod. It's on hold until I reach the point to do work (coding, modelling, skinning, etcetera) by myself. So it'll be a while before production starts (again? ).
Cheers,

[Devon]

The berserkers were just stupid I'd like to see some sword dwarves for one thing....

[Fyro11]

Yes that, and mattocks. Says in The Hobbit.

So...Iron Hills Veterans?

[Uruk King]

Thankyou, no more stupid looking/sounding beserkers. Meet Gimli's brothers in arms, the Campaigners!!
