sprites aren't that important and no reason not to just make them size 2.

I'm right and everyone who thinks dwarves need to be size 1 are wrong.

You guys should debate this like you have RL facts to back it up.

It was very entertaining to watch people debate the anatomy of undead and gorgon petrification on the main forum. Some people even bothered to do 'research'. Was quite funny

I'm not debating

I'm just saying I'm right

As long as they are size one I will call this mod the gnome mod.. of course I have facts to prove that gnomes wouldn't have these stats either (well except the size 1

)

Dwarves in Dominions are size 1, see EA Helheim Svartalfar, Vanheim dwarves. This means that you can't be right.

Also, you should stop debating whether stating things is or is not debating.

I'm not going to debate with you, I'm just right and even KO is wrong, with his Svartgnomes and vanheim gnomes.

When I do warhammer dwarfs and chaos dwarfs they will be size 2. The sprites will be larger than size 1 though.

All hail Sombre

Sombre agrees with me, further testimony to me being right.
(not that I needed to be convinced)

Who knew dwarf-size would be so controversial... heh, I guess size really does matter.

By the way, the Battlemaster is a battle-golem... er... giant possessed/animated suit of armor. It's just not recruitable. It's a late-game summon. Probably around 50 gems (so that should tell you what sort of terror it should be). Though it doesn't have most slots, and isn't a mage so it can't self-buff, it doesn't really need to.

Recruitable golems sounds totally strange. What would golems need with money?

@Sombre:
Well, with you doing two dwarf nations and Honeybadger doing another one as well... there will certainly be enough dwarves running around to make everyone happy.

Changelog added to the second post.
First post has a few more things included (in blue for ease of reading).

I've been working on Underheim for quite a bit more this week, and progress is good, I added two new pretenders, some more spells, and tweaked stats around. The second pretender was inspired by some interesting stories about the Bergrisar, and I think many of you will really like it. I feel much better now about the pretender selection, and feel the spell selection is robust enough. As for actually running playtest games from start to finish, I haven't actually gotten to that yet (as new inspirations keep coming). Despite some ideas still remaining, I'm going to refrain from adding anything more.

So until I run some games through to completion,... you'll all just have to be patient.
