The Unique Improvement is dwarf mine that replaces mine: like mine but +1 gold and,

These civilizations, which I am doing based on Tolkien's books (Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Silmarillion) are more powerful than the normal ones, so if they are played individually they have clear advantages over the others. Instead my goal is to make these civilizations to create scenarios where there are only these civilizations that will recreate situations in Tolkien's books.

Dwarves were a race in Middle-earth also known as the Khazad, the Naugrim (meaning 'Stunted People'), and Gonnhirrim (meaning 'Masters of Stone').

Thrór was a King of Durin's Folk, the son of Dáin I, the grandson of Náin II, the father of Thráin II, the brother of Frór, and Grór, the grandfather of Thorin II Oakenshield, Frerin, and Dís, and the great-grandfather of Fíli and Kíli. In his early life, Thrór and his family lived in the dragon-plagued Grey Mountains. In TA 2589, when their halls came under attack by Cold-drakes, his father Dáin I and younger brother Frór were both slain at their gates by a great Cold-Drake, and Thrór inherited the kingship. Thrór led a small portion of the House of Durin to recolonize Erebor where they rediscovered the Arkenstone. Under Thrór's leadership, Erebor prospered for over a century. Eventually the wealth of the kingdom attracted the attention of the dragon known as Smaug, who flew south and destroyed the kingdom, killing hundreds of Dwarves and driving away Thrór and his family, as well as thousands of other surviving dwarves. Twenty years later in TA 2790, Thrór now old, poor, and desperate, gave to his son Thráin II the last of the Seven Rings and a map of the Lonely Mountain. He then left his people and journeyed away north with a single companion called Nár. They crossed over the Misty Mountains through the Redhorn Pass and then came south again, crossing the Silverlode into the valley of Azanulbizar beneath the East Gate of Moria. When they arrived, the gate was open. Nár begged Thrór to beware but Thrór disregarded his pleas and proudly entered Moria as its returning heir, but he did not come back.
