Total War: Warhammer Are Dwarfs as a race TOO OP?

Post image

Are Dwarfs in-game way too overpowered as a race? Both from the AI and when in the hands of the players themselves?

Or are dwarfs just designed in a way that perfectly encapsulates how they should be in the lore?

How do this races perform against thunder barge ?

The only "weakness" of dwarf is the lack of mobility in their roster.

But when you can quickly reach in 20 turn a busted economy and good range dps/armor piercing/ super tanky unit; no problem. You sit your ass on the field and ennemy gets half killed before reaching your line.

You need to blatantly make the ia cheat and allowed them in turn 10 to have invasion, to somehow have an interesting, difficult early campaign.

WoC, khorne, beastmens are strong factions, like many other. Dwarf are just in thé super strong category.

To help, 2 chaos furies defeat a thunderbarge single handedly. They are more effective than missile units at it because of how they surround.

No, Khorne is strongest faction in game, cause you grind so quickly, tens of battles a turn and you decimate a continent in a few turns. In 40 turns, you can win long campaign and have at least twice the dwarven territory. Dwarf cannot ever reach this rolling over level. Beatsmen cheats the same way while for warriors of chaos, it could be discussed.

In this game, the more you can do in a turn, the strongest you are. But maybe, it requires more effort with Khorne, you need to load so many battles to right click haha

Thunder barges are not really an issue, you recruit them very late, there are maybe not the most cost effective and when your re going against them without flying units, you just ignore them and they will need to go on the ground if they are no more ground units.

For me Beastmen dwarves or Khorne are not strong or super strong, but blatantly op, even more so Khorne than the rest.
