❖

Description

❖

Stubborn craftsmen and legendary miners. Dwarves gain +50% Mithril, +40% Mineral, +35% Stone production. Their warriors are slow (-15% Speed) but incredibly resilient (+25% Life in the frontline). Weak at agriculture (-10% Food, -20% Herbs) and magic (-15% Elixir).

📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

Dwarves are the undisputed masters of mountain and forge. Their civilization revolves around mining and metalworking: Mithril production reaches +50%, Mineral +40%, Stone +35%, Gems +30%, Coal +25%, Dextronium +25%, Marble +20%. Gold flows from their trade (+10%). However, their underground focus neglects agriculture: Food (-10%), Herbs (-20%), and magical Elixir (-15%) all suffer, with Research and Wood slightly reduced (-5%). Dwarves are naturally resistant to hardship (-15% Mutiny, -10% Famine, -10% Protests) but cramped mines increase epidemic risk (+15%) and gold-love invites corruption (+10%). In battle, Dwarven warriors form an immovable wall: +25% Life in the frontline, +20% Life in flanks, but -15% Speed limits mobility. Mountain terrain and Winter season synergize perfectly with Dwarven strengths.
