Mod: New Nation: Kharam Dzu

[Theonlystd]

Now of course this is my opinion


but these guys feel more like Goblins Than Dwarfs. You gotta use horde tatics and if anything big shows up expect to lose craploads. I dont see y Dwarfs couldnt be size 2 while not as tall as humans im sure they could make up for it in bulk. Hp in line with humans feels wrong. Dwarfs are supposed to be "tougher" .. And then late age and only 6 Protection :| Dwarfs die by the boatloads to shortbows and slings. Then Dwarfs using Falchions?!?!?!?!?

Have to agree with a guy above. Air Magic makes more sense then Death

Stil a fun mod and a nice change of pace.

They're pirate dwarves, not warhammer or Lord of the rings dwarves. I like the fact that they're different too. Dominions is a game which tends to shy away from stereotypical fantasy nations.

There are graphics for a very nice "cannon" unit, which doesn't seem to be in this mod yet. Any plans to add it?

Even in LoTR, dwarves carried around swords a lot more than they did axes. Infact-I'm not sure-but I think that in the Hobbit, the dwarves all had swords, not an axe among them.

[BandarLover]

You would be correct Honeybadger. I think the axes only came into play at the Battle of Five Armies...even then though, I dunno. Been too long since I last read The Hobbit.

Awesome stuff.
A few of my thoughts, though I didn't play test the mod yet, but from what I see and read:

Falchions are good. Dwarves with short, heavy swords are not without precedence.
Some sort of 'dwarven marines' with a bit of heavier armour would not be a terrible idea.
Death magic makes sense to me. Pirates did a lot of killing and were very superstisious. A pirate necromancer would never be short on corpses.
How about a heavy crossbow/light ballista unit? Slow but heavy ballista operated by two dwarves.

With a mod like this, it really is a shame that Dom 3 doesn't support naval battles
