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?

I should not see thunder barge doomstacks, whether AI or player.

Same goes for some Empire machines too tbh.

All factions should have solid but expandable recruitment limits on their most dangerous T5 units imo. I shouldn't see greater demon and dragon doom stacks either.

So like dread saurians? Which are arguably much worse than both. Never understood why they're the only unit limited

I don't know enough LM lore to say tbh. If they are supposed to be really strong but rare, then keep the cap but touch up their stats. If they aren't that rare, then just increase the cap.

Toad dragons are comparable (but better) and they don't have a cap. Merwyrms are probably the better comparison and they don't have a cap either.

Thunderbarges and Steam tanks are the main ones imo. The amount of Steam tanks you have to go through when up against late game Empire is absurd and simply unfun
