Dwarven Clans

Clans of the Frostcrags. Your keep opens already walled and your works mend themselves. Weather the storm, then roll the engines forward.

Hold and grind

How the Dwarves fight

Strong: Living walls, black-powder volleys and constructs that break castles.

Weak: Slow, and it fields no cavalry at all — it can be outrun and flanked.

The Dwarven Clans field 26 troops across eleven classes — 2 levy, 5 ranged, 1 shock, 3 anti-armor, 3 support, 2 caster, 2 elite, 2 siege, 2 construct, 1 legend and 3 titan.

Trait and powers

Every Dwarven Clans troop fights with the kingdom's trait: +52% health · +32% damage · −10% speed. It is added in battle on top of the figures on each troop's own page.

Your keep begins the war already fortified
Stoneworks: +55% building HP, and they mend themselves
But the clans are slow to muster — 12% slower spawns

The Dwarven Clans roster

All 26 troops, by class and then by what their spawner costs to raise. Range is in the field's own units — a melee blow reaches a few dozen, the longest bows several hundred.

Troop	Class	Raise	Health	Damage	Range	Speed	Pop	What it does
Clan Miner	Levy	400	47	7	Melee	50	1	Down tools, up pick. It has taken apart harder rock than your wall.

Axe Thrower	Ranged	650	35	11	118	48	1	A short, ugly axe thrown very hard. The clans’ answer before the powder arrives.
Arbalest	Ranged	750	25	22	175	46	1	Steel arbalest — punches armor flat and shoves the survivor.

Executioner	Shock	1,500	120	37	Melee	80	2	Great-axe that cleaves elites and beasts in two.
Sapper	Anti-Armor	750	60	16	Melee	62	2	Powder-charges that blow spawners and gates to splinters.
Pikeman	Anti-Armor	950	86	17	Melee	54	1	Long pike braced against the charge — gores big & armored alike.
Shieldbreaker	Anti-Armor	1,550	151	32	Melee	46	2	A two-handed maul with one purpose: whatever is in front of it stops being armour.
Field Surgeon	Support	1,750	49	—	Melee	58	2	Battlefield medic — mends the wounded faster than any cleric.
Standard Bearer	Support	1,800	65	6	Melee	58	2	War banner: +35% damage, +18% speed to allies.

Warden	Elite	2,500	219	10	Melee	62	3	Bulwark — taunts foes to strike only at it; shrugs off blows.
Vanguard	Elite	2,750	194	12	Melee	66	3	Tower-shield bulwark — taunts the foe and shrugs off the storm.
Onager	Siege	2,350	64	29	250	30	3	Bolt-thrower that skewers everything down a lane.
Bombard	Siege	2,650	59	32	260	26	3	Mortar that lobs fire over walls — splash death to crowds.

Iron Golem	Construct	3,500	395	26	Melee	40	4	Forged colossus — smashes walls and scatters whole ranks.
Dreadnought	Legend	5,600	356	26	145	36	6	A boiler on legs with a gun bolted to it. It goes where it likes and shoots what it finds.
Mountain Giant	Titan	7,750	825	48	Melee	44	9	Slams the earth with a boulder — the shockwave scatters whole knots of foes.
Frost Giant	Titan	8,000	780	40	Melee	48	9	A jotun of glacier ice — every blow chills its foes to a crawl.
Colossus	Titan	8,550	1,020	42	Melee	36	11	A walking siege-fortress of bronze — 55% armor; tears castles open.

The Dwarves campaign

The Frostcrag Reckoning — Third winter running, reavers in the high passes. Settle it properly this time.

Their rival on the march is the Orc Horde.

In the Gauntlet

The Gauntlet sets every kingdom against every other in one run: the Dwarven Clans have 10 matchups to win as themselves, and 10 in which they are the foe.
