Do we need Ashan?
Rune blacksmiths are a branch of the priests of Arkat who decided to combine two favorite dwarven crafts into a new art of runes.
Rune masters, or Arkat blacksmiths in common parlance.
To become one of them, a rune blacksmith must undergo an initiation in the forge and create a golem – this is a very precise task, and it can take months of continuous work.
However, after the initiation, the dwarves gain an unparalleled master of the anvil and a golem that will protect their native mountains.
Glacier Guardians – mostly hermits from the city of Njorgerd, they travel to the northernmost lands of the dwarves to learn the secrets of the harsh snowstorms and powerful glaciers.
When it is time to return home, a dense blizzard follows the dwarf, and he proudly bears the title of Glacier Guardian.
the building and weeks have also been renamed
Update: I reworked the description of the dwarven rune masters; I've wanted to do this for a long time because I didn't like that I connected them with golems.
A dwarf's path to rune mastery is a long and demanding process, requiring not only talent but also unwavering will and perseverance. To prove his skill, a dwarf undergoes a series of trials organized by the guild of rune masters.
These trials may include creating complex runic items or deciphering ancient runic inscriptions.
Only those who prove their skill and wisdom can become true rune masters. Having become a master, the dwarf continues to improve his skills, exploring new runes and techniques.
A rune master is highly respected among the dwarves, as his knowledge and skills are invaluable to their people.
A rune master can spend years studying the history of his people in order to rediscover long-forgotten runic symbols.
Stone golems are an introductory work for a runic blacksmith before becoming a runic master.
Gigantic, stoic giants, each detail of which is inscribed with runes that bring them to life.
Siege golems are special golems that mostly sleep, but when the time for war comes, runic masters add runes to the golems' bodies, thereby awakening them and sending them into the very heart of war.
No fortifications can withstand their relentless onslaught.
Runic golems are created specifically to protect against magic and to counter all who wield it.
Special runes on its body turn it into a living barrier against magic.
I'm updating the Chaos Dwarf Archers; now, their flasks have animated textures of a lava river, and the redhead got a helmet. The old idea of a shako on his head was good only as an idea; a more solid helmet will be better. I also made new goggles.
Well, almost three weeks have passed since I promised to create descriptions for the mages, and as usual, I'm doing everything but that.

They remind me of the Chaos Dwarfs from Warhammer.
I'm continuing my work; I adapted the welder's mask to the new head and animated all the fire.
I think if men need that kind of protection from fire, their beard won't last long.
Well, everything seems to be okay, I first fixed the height of the enemy projectile's impact, and in the process, I messed up the projectiles of our archers... I fixed that too.
Overall, nothing has changed except for the headaches. I'm currently testing the mages' ability to defend against a piercing shot, trying to attach a visual effect to it.
Good afternoon. I have a question. How difficult would it be to replace the effect in the flasks of the 2nd one with Lightning (Energy)? And is it possible to do this independently without advanced skills?

Another question. How do you feel about a little help with my project? Specifically, some edits to the visuals of the mobs and their effects (mobs that you originally created, or that you rejected in the past).
*Of course, I can discuss and pay you if you are currently very busy.
*I just thought that the person who originally created these mobs would find it easier to change something in them, and I also like how you apply effects to units.)))

Do I want to work on the Forge? Probably not, because I have my own mod that I don't want to abandon. I am always ready to help with advice, or even do something if there is a clear technical assignment, and the order is not too grand....
But I have a problem: I promise people that I will help, and then, if difficulties arise, I put the project aside and simply forget about it.... so you shouldn't rely on me too much

Oh, about the lightning, the orange-grade weapon has a texture of the Lord's hand; it won't recolor along with the flask
Good afternoon. In general, there isn't that much to do if you look closely.
1) This involves tweaking the "Masters" (Tier 2). The paint job is fine, but I won't be able to replace their staves and animation effects myself.
Attachment 73925
2) As mentioned before, it would be nice to refine the "Testers" (Tier 6) a bit. And possibly adjust a couple more units to match the overall theme (Tier 3 and Tier 5).
Attachment 73926
3) Additionally, this concerns assistance in creating alternate upgrades, specifically for the Ballista and Minotaurs. I could simply create duplicates with different color schemes, but I know you could do better. Also, adding armor is something I'd like your help with. (In the future, we might even ask you to add some armor to the Necromancers as well.)

*So that's how it turns out. For now, only the first point is critical – tweaking Tier 2 of the Factory. The rest, theoretically, I can handle myself; it's just that you objectively could do it better in terms of quality.
*There's also another idea for a Hero for the Mechs, based on the Death Knight... But this is a more extensive project based on "wishes," so if you're interested, I can tell you more about it.
Give me one task, for example, replacing the staves, and tell me where to get these staves from – I don't want to think about where to get them, it's painful for me personally. Sometimes I sit and think about where to get something for several days

and is there an electric ballista made of black wood?
Now I'll think about the details... I need dwarven patterns, maybe horns on the griffin's helmet, or one horn like a rhinoceros.
