dwarves and units

[gerardo.aps]

first, really add dwarves to the game, as a race, they were one of the greatest to play with, and can be given some unique twists regarding their lore and magic
also, is it possible to add more units to the game? from what I've read there would be only 5 units per faction; I loved SP 1 in which there were 9-10.

"There are up to 12 units per faction. There are the base units, who are designed after those medieval unit types; they aren't identical between factions, but very similar. And then there are special unit types in every faction, like orc shamans for example. There's a flying unit in each faction, and there's a titan, already known from the first two games. These titans require an enormous amount of resources to be built. It's a little like a world wonder in Civilization, but it's a very aggressive world wonder. As soon as you've built a titan, in single- or in multiplayer, that's usually the beginning of the endgame. Unless both sides send their titan against each other and they destroy each other" (Peter Ohlmann, Gamescom 2015)

Three factions: humans, elves and orcs (IMHO, add a new faction is complicated at this point, hope for dwarves npcs)

There may also be additional races with add-ons, so who knows. There will likely be NPCs, though.

We may get them in an expansion.

I wouldn't hold your breath, Dwarves are hard work apparently. They where completely written out of the Dungeon Siege franchise so the devs could avoid animating all that beard hair. It's sad, in 2003 we got a complete game with 6 playable races and a horde of various enemy factions, expansion added whole new campaigns and enemies. 13 years later we get 3 playable races and the hope we will be sold the rest via piecemeal micro transactions.

You can't compare the game industry in 2003 with the one in 2016. The variables to even compare those 2 are futher apart than you might think. Also this is a company that releasing a multitude of games at the same time with 'limited' recourses to spend on every single game.

When you really start to think about it, this was bound to happen. Nonetheless like you described it a bit of a letdown. But at this point, I'm gratefull for NordicGames to even pick up the series seeing how far down the hill it went with Jowood .... If the series is going to die after this, at least a company gave it a shot.

Pretty sure Dwarves may be added later on, if Nordic Games decided to release any add-ons or other content. Hopefully, though, we'll receive add-ons and not random DLCs that should be in the original game in the first place :P
