Atm, the building tooltip have English translations (as in - build Khazad-wotsit, the Dwarven Archers), but not the actual units once they are built.

[Námo]

... the unit name is in Khuzdul.

Beautiful ... and very interesting, from a linguistic point of view!

... Khazad-wotsit ...

I do know Khazad, ... but wotsit? ... ??

[Yarrum]

I think I means wotsit and in 'Khazad-whatever this unit is'. Also, I'm guessing there will be at least six buildings, as five were shown in the previews and Nertea said that there was another building for the barracks (Iron hills camp building maybe? If not, will this building be included?). Will the Dwarves have a well structure? If so, is it the vanilla well entirely, the vanilla well re-skinned, an edited vanilla well, or a brand new model?

Edit: Also, will and of the maps seen on the site be included?

I was thinking of something along the lines of a coal-fired hearth, where Dwarven warriors can heal. Alternatively, to run with the theme of the Dwarves´ affinity wih Ale, an Ale Stand, a small steading tended by a single Dwarf, who provides Ale to Dwarven troops.

[Yarrum]

That would be interesting, but I'm not sure if the team is creating any more models/animations than they have already.

Dwarves heal with wells like the other factions

Umm yeah... we're finishing the faction. This requires at bare minimum another 42 destruction states

[Uruk King]

They already heal with Wells?

So much for the variety/eye candy train of thought thought.

Don't tell me, I didn't do the design doc

If I'm not much mistaken, the well is in one of the screenshots at the beginning of the thread.

If so, is it the vanilla well entirely, the vanilla well re-skinned, an edited vanilla well, or a brand new model?

There are very, very few things in this mod that are even vaguely related to vanilla models and textures.

Does this also count for the other factions in the limited release?
And which factions will be included, I guess Gondor, Mordor and the Elves, as these 3 factions already were shown on the RA homepage?

[_Haldir_]

This sounds rad!! I'm so excited for this, dwarves have always been a faction i've wanted to play in bfme1. Those screens and the bodyguard idea look great btw

[Ring o' Fate]

Man, I'd kill to have you guys do Rohan.

Dwarfs and vanilla factions only. Vanilla faction units have been 99% reskinned.

...What's the 1% not edited?

[Baki]

...What's the 1% not edited?

Very likely the Mordor Mumakil and trolls.

[m@tt]

Yep. Plus ents and nazgul and fellbeasts.

[Ring o' Fate]

That really seems more than 1%.
Edit: But meh. That's just me.

Ah, you're right. It's at the back of the camp in the fourth screenshot. It looks very nice. So then, that brings the total of Dwarven buildings up to eight (plus the three wall upgrades, which would give a grand total of eleven).

[Uruk King]

How exactly do we know that it is five, (minus the upgrades)?

There is the:

• Statue of Durin the Deathless
• Fountain
• Mine (resource structure)
• Smithy (Upgrade/ possibly resource structure)
• Elder Hall (I assume its the Dwarven Barracks)
• the Barracks for recuiting Dwarven Bodyguards
• Craftsmans Shop

totalling to seven known-of structures.
