Do the dwarfs have black powder weapons? I have played warhammer for many years, so I am familiar with the backstory and flavor of both those nations.

I hate the idea of needing chaff against them, though! Abysian chaff isnt really chaff, and independants tend to fatigue or catch on fire!

Not really. Mostly it is just crossbows. However they do have a unit called thunderers who use magic lightning-flinging staves to take the place of black powder units. These do 10 armor negating damage, but I think they can be blocked by shields (this is not necessarily true).

No, the dwarfs don't have any gunpowder since it doesn't really fit with the dom3 universe. However, they have thunderers and flamethrowers as summons to give a sort of *feel* of technological advatage (Thunderers shoot lighting like storm demons, expect that it is shield blockable and Flamethrowers throw flames like Fire Drakes).

Well, that's sort how this game works. You need to be ready to change tactics depending on the nation you are facing. One trick isn't effective versus all things. Shielded Abysian infantry could probably withstand the crossbow fire but why should you sacrife them when some random human could take the shot for them?
