Games and dwarves
« on: December 05, 2009, 09:37:16 am »

I didn't know if I should post this one here or in Dwarf Fortress General Discussion, but I took the "safe" route.

Since Dwarf Fortress is getting a release pretty soon, I decided quite some time ago to stop playing. However, I still feel the urge to unleash Dwarves onto my enemies. Problem is, I don't know a lot of games that actually feature Dwarves. The games I do know, are:

Battle for Middle Earth 2
Dominions 3
Heroes of Might and Magic 5

Are there any other "Dwarf" games?

This might be better in Other Games forum

but anyway, off the top of my head,

Lord of the Rings Conquest (only one dwarf though)
Third age Total War (M2TW kingdoms mod)
Dragon Age Origins
TES4 Oblivion PC (If you have the right mods)
Warcraft 3

Fall from Heaven 2, a mod to Civ 4, gives you two dwarven civs (though is probably more gnomish than dwarven).

Also, Battle for Wesnoth.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I think all the main games have been named here, but that freeware survival game that starts with a 'N' or something like that has a mod that adds in a dwarf.

I mean, if you're desperate or something.

Speaking of Warcraft III, there was actually a custom campaign for the Frozen Throne EP that centered around dwarves, with the humans and elves extracted from what you play with (with a dash of gnoll and golem, though).  I think the site that hosted it (it had its own site) either moved or got deleted, though.  Might still be able to find it some place.  If not, I have it on my computer.

Are you kidding? Magma in all their outposts, steam-operated creations, trying to create a giant steel god-machine as a megaproject, pissing the hell out of the gods, and getting their fortresses wiped out.

Not to mention that the last surviving dwarf is a crippled, blind invalid.

Yep.  They're just a bit taller and technically a type of elf.  But the latter is okay, cause elf is a much broader term in TES.

Um. Wait, no, it doesn't. Ignore that last sentence, I was mistaking the werewolf thingy for a dwarf. Easy mistake, they're both extremely hairy and will kill anything that moves at the slightest provocation.

Dungeons of the Unforgiven has hobbits. I think that that is the closest they get to dwarves, though.
