This Idea came from a strategy game one of my friends made for our clan forum, his strat games are basicly giant crossovers, each person gets one side from one fictional universe. This time around for the heck of it I chose Dwarf Fortress dwarves as my side, another of my friends chose the Terrans from Starcraft. This got me to thinking, just how would the Terrans or any sci-fi human civillisation react to the dwarves? And how would the dwarves react to them? I imagine one of the dwarves stealing a tank and useing it to mine, hunt small animals, and kill elves, at the same time.

Wall themselves in, unbreach HFS, watch terran warfleet die to giant overpowered demons.

edit: While ghosts and spectres curl up in a ball in a corner and die.

Use a pressurized magma cannon to annihilate the terran army.
Then, steal their futuristic socks.

I would imagine the dwarves would win.

Through sheer, determined stupidity.

Legendary markdwarves. With the rate at which marksdwarves train, you could easily get several hundred marksdwarves from all the dwarven mountain halls. And with the damage/penatrating power that crossbows have (currently), and the range they have, the only things they would have to worry about is the joys of orbital bombardment. Of course, being dwarves, they wouldn't care.

Else, either magma or HFS. Better yet, both at the same time.

I don't know about other races, but personally?

I would be horrifically scarred and terrified to imagine a race that didn't so much mind being on fire.

"He rather doesn't mind."

Dwarves would take the most advanced technology in the world and make it remote controlled via a lever a mile away.  They would easily handle zerg by hooking a pet dog in a spiral shaped maze with traps along the inside, and thus would gain the respect of the terrans.  All alien tanks and troops would be vunerable to the ultra-strength cages of the dwarves and drawbridge atom smashers.  The dwarves only weakness would be psychic attacks that result in tantrum spirals or invisble lever-pulling sabatuers.  Any intellegent race would respect that the dwarves have mutually ensured their own destruction and the destruction of any other race by various world-flooding magma devices.  There is some danger of a misunderstanding when a race of creatures covered head to toe in blood-ichor-vomit-water and surviving solely one alchohol and kitten-meat starts hiding from the sun and trying to trade stone crafts and mechanisms for more booze and kitten meat.

I don't think the dwarves would touch a tank until after upgrading it with lever-controlled technology so simple that even a noble could operate it, and adamatine plating.

Evidently the terrans are already enlisting dwarves.
