While dwarves generally lack flyers, their mountaineering and caving skills allow them to quickly traverse terrain that can pose problems for other races.

Forge Priests can provide them with healing and the blessing of fire, and share an 100% Protection with the most powerful dwarven units, the Firstborn.

Their archers represent an exception to this rule, often acting more as irregulars with their heavy crossbows than conventional archers. As a result, their higher-end units have less mobility than those of other races, but are capable of inflicting and receiving considerable punishment, while some of their melee-based class units have developed greater resistance to enemy projectiles to assist in surviving a headlong charge towards enemy lines. Summary Dwarves are a straightforward race, eschewing fancy maneuvers in favour of a good, honest fight.
