Unit size: The number of soldiers/models in the unit.Health: The current health of the unit, divided up between the remaining models in the unit.Shields: Shielded units are able to block 30% of incoming missiles from the front.Great weapons: Large heavy melee weapons that often have armour-piercing damage.Polearms: Spears, halberds and similar weapons usually give the unit a bonus against large units, but are at a disadvantage versus.Swords, axes, dual-weapons etc: These generally perform poorly against armoured units or large units, but do well against polearms.Some have ranged attacks they can use from the air. While all units can attack in melee, some units such as Lothern Sea Guard and Free Company Militia are designed to be good in both melee and at range.įlying units can fly across the battlefield above other troops, and above terrain. Ranged units can also attack in melee, though they are usually not very good at it. In battle, ranged units can be set to skirmish mode, where they will automatically run away if enemies come close. Each will have a different range, and different amount of ammunition. Ranged units, aka missile units, can fire projectiles to damage the enemy from afar. Guard mode is an important button for melee units, as it prevents them chasing fleeing enemies if the player doesn't want that. Dwarf battle lines have been known to cheer at the sight of the great hammers rising and falling around their King's banner, beating out a rhythmic noise that is not unlike the deep-booming industrial sounds made by the vast drop hammers found in the larger Dwarf forges.Melee units are made for fighting in close combat (melee). With a cracking and crumping, the whirling hammerheads send up gory debris, as splintered shields, cracked bits of armour and even heads or limbs are thrown into the air by the sheer force of the impact. They swing their hammers in sweeping arcs, hitting their enemies with such vigour that only enchanted or hell-forged armour can withstand the force of their blows. Outfitted in heavy, well-polished Dwarf mail, Hammerers wade into combat wielding their great weapons. They are formed into a hard-hitting shock unit, a force capable of breaking enemy formations the way a heavy maulhammer crushes shale. They are individuals from different units, and perhaps even Clans, who have proven themselves in uncountable battles, showing not just great strength and deadly martial prowess, but also steadfast loyalty and a bold and courageous nature. The most skilled warriors in a Dwarf Hold are the Hammerers.
Elite, hardened warriors, Hammerers thrive amongst the melee with warhammer in hand, smashing the unprepared to pieces.
