How do you know that dwarfs aren't already taller than humans? All we have is volume of the creature, and simple descriptors saying they're tall / short for a dwarf. Every dwarf could be a stalk reaching the sky and every elf could be wider than they are tall and we would never know.

There's a line from the elven diplomat that makes fun of the dwarves' height.

Elves now gaslight dwarves on a variety of subjects. Dwarves should be grateful that elves shared their invention of magma with them.

Maybe elves are so dumb they can't tell the difference between a dwarf being short and a dwarf just being far away.

Dwarves are measured in only 2 dimensions, clearing up that there are no tall dwarves. In fact, there's no tall anythings now.

[King Zultan]

One dimensional fortress where the only thing that matters is length.

To optimise pathfinding, all tiles are now discrete points with no connections to any other points.

To optimise pathfinding, all tiles are now discrete points with no connections to any other points.

To optimise pathfinding, entities now just teleport to their destinations.  Encumbrance, lost limbs, and other factors know just affect the length of their teleportation cooldown.

[Maximum Spin]

To optimise pathfinding, all locations have been compressed into a singularity occupying zero volume.

And what about the different sizes for clothing?

[King Zultan]

And what about the different sizes for clothing?

That's just done to make it harder on the player, but also dwarves wouldn't be caught dead in elf clothing as its beneath them.

[delphonso]

Clothing is just Large or Small compared to you - I'd consider my grandfather's shirts too large for me, despite him being a head shorter than me - since he's pretty heavyset.

To optimize pathfinding, pathfinding is removed from the game.

Even when Dwarves walk in random circles and do their jobs when they stumble upon them by sheer luck, the chances that a broker will be at the depot to trade is still the same.

[Bumber]

That's just done to make it harder on the player, but also dwarves wouldn't be caught dead in elf clothing as its beneath them.

Each dwarf now has a randomly generated set of clothes they wouldn't be caught dead in.

[Starver]

And a second set which immediately ensures that they are.

[Bumber]

And a third set that causes them to tantrum if they aren't covered in items from the set. Items in this set are not mutually exclusive with the first two.
