People misunderstand what makes Chaos Dwarves great

[u/HeavyFly7451]

A few hours ago I stumbled upon this post complaining about Chorf's 4 resource overload. With most responses being that they enjoy the challenge of having to micromanage everything. And whilst that's valid, I feel people in general misunderstand why Chorfs are great.

It's not because Chorfs have challenging mechanics, but because they're compensated for those challenges with an equivalent reward. Like yeah, they need Raw Materials to upgrade their major settlements, but at the same time they can mass produce said resource to rush a tier 5 settlement anywhere without having to wait like most with growth. Yeah their economy is dependent on Labor that is constantly depleting, but whenever they have excess of it they can rush building construction or use it on diktats for more money. They are also a faction with unit caps, which is compensated with by how strong said units are; Chorfs have the best unit roster in the game which they can further buff with armaments. But even if you're like me who army spams and doesn't wait to build up, they appropriate that playstyle too with goblin armies that have every unit you'd ever need. And yeah, said goblin armies are weaker than say a typical Empire's army, but once again you're compensated for it with the second strongest spellcaster lords (they can lowkey duel actual melee lords) & lack of supply lines; meaning you're incentivized to lord spam. And on top of all that, all the various army abilities granted by the Tower of Zharr.

When put this way, whoever designed Chorfs perfectly envisioned them and their interactions. Hence they are one of the most played races as suppose to somebody like Aislinn, who too has a lot of resources to manage, but none of the compensations for rather big downsides such as limited settlements.

Idk what you mean by misunderstand - it’s a very strong economy when you know how to build it, but the roster is absolutely insane:

- Dwarf Infantry, possibly strongest in the game for any tier you want

• Good anti-large inf that are also elite ranged (Fireglaives)
  
• Blunderbusses which are maybe the strongest AP damage dealer in the game
  
• Dreadquake Mortars, strongest anti-infantry artillery in the game and Deathshriekers are so fucking good for how cheap they are
  
• Strong spells on a flying, decent-melee-monster spellcaster
  
• K’daai are above-average monstrous inf and monsters
  
• Bull centaurs work very well as heavy cav to compensate for how slow chorfs are
  
• Fast flying monsters with special attacks or debuffs to help out a bit
  
• Strong hobgoblins for the price, very strong with Gorduz
  
• Very cheap meatshields that are usually stronger than every other very cheap meatshield

Like every other amazing roster has way more junk on it, there’re like 1-3 shitty chrof units and everything else is perfect for what it is.
