Posts from Discussion about the FORTRESS race – Dwarves.

When I found out that it would be a generator and not an editor, I was so happy. By the way, a cool map with lava and snow could be created. It's too early to talk about balance, as the stats of the units are not yet known, and maybe they will be weak and shy.

For those interested in the add-on, please read this.

Wow! You surprised me, dude! This is Hacker's website:):):) All the information that is there is here and vice versa:)

AA... I love them, they are such stylish guys)). There is a 100% chance that this will be a quite powerful faction.

Based on their appearance, I wouldn't say so.

well, we'll see when it comes out... and then we'll know everything.

Let's have an ability to counter gnomes! )))
They haven't even balanced the game with 6 factions yet, and they're already introducing a new one... these commercial moves are ruining the appeal of online gameplay... And only 99 out of 100 people will be able to afford to buy a new game and play Heroes at home. They're focusing on mass appeal, and balance in 2006 is out of the question... )))

))Don't exaggerate.

they still haven't fixed the duel mode... the balance is already terrible... and they still think it's not enough... they decided to finish off Addon with brute force!!! Well done, Nival!
and regarding the anti-gnome ability... that's right... it's needed!

I think there won't be any imbalance. Either the dwarves will be very strong (strength + magic) and expensive, but with a small growth rate, or they will be weak and cheap but with a large growth rate. There's no third option in the game (the golden mean doesn't count).
I know that with innate resistance to fire magic, mages will have a harder time attacking (there's a player with Chaos magic that gets stronger with each level) using fire magic.
But overall, this is better than the swamp dwellers' hero in Heroes 3 (Hydra).

Don't worry. The balance will be there, maybe not perfect right away, but it will be decent. If you look at the monster descriptions before the release of Heroes 5, you'll see that a lot of abilities were removed. There's no need for anti-magic or runic magic; otherwise, everyone will have abilities, and it will be possible to remove it from the Dwarves, which is not good... Besides, the Castle and almost all the units are already made; now they will be testing and fixing...
Regarding the duel, I don't agree with the magic system.

Well, maybe Nival will add the ability to CREATE your OWN hero and army in a duel, and that would be a significant change. And the Dwarves will be strong, but with a small growth rate and weak regular magic... IMHO!

I wish they'd release this race sooner, I really want to see it... I liked the dwarves even in the game Followers 1,2

What difference does it make whether they have a small or large force and bonus? The main thing is that they will be released soon, and I hope they will please us. I am sure they will surprise us.

Hmm... I wonder if these guys will really surprise us... :D

right now, the strongest units in Tier 5 are undead. I really hope that the dwarves will surpass the necromancers.
