Why does the female dwarf have a beard?

[Mogger]

Very strange. Any reason this error was allowed through?

[Urk_da_WAAAGH!]

No error, female dwarves on several fantasy works have beards

[Blanch Warren]

It dates back to Tolkien.

It doesnt say anything about female dwarves having beards.

Edit: I was wrong.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong.
In Age of Wonders, all dwarfs can have beards.

There was a bearded female dwarf in a scene of one of the Hobbit movies and there is a scene in the extended cut of the Two Towers where bearded femal dwarves are mentioned. Don't remember reading anything about it in the Hobbit, the LotR books or the Silmarillion. May have been made up by the writers of the movie script.

Tolkien himself seems changed his mind on it a couple of times. At one point he said all Dwarves, including female ones had beards. At a later point he said "all male" Dwarves had beards but didn't say anything at all about the female Dwarves. Gimli's line about how Dwarf women are so similar to males in dress and voice when they travel abroad that most non-Dwarves never recognize them as women is from the appendixes of the books.
So with the books you can make an argument for or against bearded Dwarf women. Whichever you prefer,

Don't even have to look to LoTR for this. Even previous AoW games had bearded dwarf and gnome women. That's just a thing in this franchise.

Isn't "some have". Is more like "the vast majority have". From D&D to Warhammer Fantasy all have bearded female dwarves.

Also, you don't like it, suck it, on this game they have

There, hope this helps you out.

Back when DnD wasn't woke, female dwarfs had beards, always.
AoW was very clearly at least inspired by DnD, much like HoMM, most of the units are ripped out of the Monster Manual and the PHB.

Wow telling one to "suck it" isnt very formal and and respectful, I just come from a culture that finds this strange. There is no need to be hurtful about it. Thank you for the info.

1951, Tolkien Silmarillion. then titled "Of the Naugrim and the Edain",

Dwarf women had beards
They had them from the beginning of their lives
Dwarves did not shave, and would probably die in shame if someone else shaved them (though this part is written with a male pronoun).
Dwarf woman and Dwarf men can not be told apart

The Lord of the Rings is more vague, simply stating that dwarf woman look alike to dwarf men in voice, appearance, and garb, but without specifically mentioning beards.

Also, boot the anonymous troll.

True the neighbours have one too...
