Agree, the name I've heard attach to dwarves before
I guess the name is a figure of speech or something to them

Also your getting there @Savra

Hmm, it appears my main trouble is the cannon itself not the platform.

And therefore simple and easy. Would you rather have a siege unit that takes forever to add or one that is simple and easier to code? I say we start out with some easier stuff so programmers get more time fixing the other problems new races have while not having to worry much on units that are to complex with abilities and all.

Right now the problem with the transformation thing is that a if stats were changed during one phase and you transform the unit to another then the state don't carry over. One example as a problem with this is the vampire who, when transformed into a bat gets 30 hp, and on transforming back to vampire form with 40 hp he loses 10 health puting him back at 30. I would like to avoid that problem.

Also I should add with them being beta and all we should slowly add common type units to dwarves and maybe more complex later on
It should also help dwarves with they're concept considering they are not suppose to be early rushers but more late/Mid type kinda like humans.

Simply put let's start off easy and simple now

I think that this unit can be gnomish building demolisher.

With high range and damage to buildings.

It's simple enough for dwarves to make, so this cannon can remain for dwarves.

@Stratego (dev) archive plz.

Dwarven cannoneer

Before making BFB you need something a bit smaller.
It is weird that dwarves began their big cannons from the biggest so no for berta.
