Is there really a point to be made here?

  (this is just off the top of my head, so this might be incorrect) Make dwarves have castles/outposts like the humans do. They have a towerish thing where the lord/lady is in, but also in that there is plenty of weapons and armor.

It's easier to make biggun'-sized armor wearable by dwarves. Someone else recommended doing this by modding the base size of dwarves to be equivalent to humans (which determines the armor that will fit), but then changing dwarves' growth distribution so that very few dwarves actually reach that height.

If the base size of a creature is within 5000 of another, they can wear the same clothing as that other creature. I tested this with wild boar men and humans in the arena. If you don't want to make dwarves that much bigger than their original size, just make their adult size 65000 so they're within the threshold for wearing their clothes.
