For fire i was thinking a magmatic attack or a fire wall, or even an enchantment for a unit (like an effect to give a burning attack).
I also was thinking another mechanic to balance the rune master.
The rune master should produce runes during its turns.
For example a weak spell should cost 1 rune point, while a strong effect should require more points (as if you need more time to carve that rune).
So, if you want the earthquake to be a strong spell with a high attack you can do it but you require, let's say, 4 turns to build up enough runes and unleash that attack.
In the meanwhile the rune master cannot attack and it's vulnerable to enemy attacks

btw if you like the runes i'll make more and add more details (right now i just made a basic rune and added a different runic symbol)

From units of dwarves.

I think they should have crossbowman on place of musketeer and some catapult on place of bombarde.

I'm working on a dwarven crossbowman (it might be the main ranged unit for that race)

I dont know if it was mentioned already but here is a suggestion for an elite dwarf

Dwarven Dragon slayer:
Attack power really low 3-4
High armour : 15
High pierce armour:10
35 health
2 movement
very high training time 15-20 turn
skill: shield burry- readies his shield to defend against anything-> Enemy cant damage him for 1 turn but has a stun effect in the next 2 turn (cant move and cant attack)
HUGE bonus on every kind of dragons
If you like it I make a description for it too.

I already made a unit called slayer that is adept at killing dragons and other big monsters, do you want me to make another? How would you like it to be equipped?
Btw, i don't think that would make sense a unit that cost 15 that can kill dragons in 1 blow (dragons cost much less than that) but it makes 3 damage to every other unit.
The shield blurry skill is very fit for the dwarven defender (that is an elite unit).

I have been a litle bit completely inactive lately :)
My idea is based on the Dragon Slayer found in third age total war.
The concept of the unit is, that it is a tank unit which can take a lot of damage. My original concept was meant to be a little bit more powerful and effectivw against infantry and not only dragons.
One thing I forgot out of my list that it is immune to fire damage (fire arrow, mage's fire blast... does 0 damage to him)
In my original concept they have the attack power of a dwarf axeman and deal double damage to dragons, while dragons inly deal 50 % of their original damage to them.

Take a look. That's what we have right now. Also, in place of normal magic there are runes.
Race Symbol: Image

Buildings:

Tavern: Image
Shooting Stand: Image
Mountain Stronghold [Mega Mansion]: Image
Kingdom under the mountain[Mega Mansion]: Image
Rune Mason: Image

Units
Worker: Image
Standard Worker Unit
Axeman: Image
Strong infantrist, should need 4 turns
Dwarven Crossbowman ImageImage
Main ranged unit
Musketeer: Image
Good distance fighter
best version: a shot is very strong but the musketeer has to reload his weapon the thurn after
when this isn't possible: good infantrist, shoult need 4 turns also
Beserk: Image
Axe fighter with double-strike ability and a better armor then the Axeman
Dwarven Slayer: ImageImageImageImage
Slayer are particularly adept at killing giants, ogres, trolls, dragon, demons, big stuff!
Dwarven Defender: ImageImageImage
Something like a panzer with an axe, really hard to kill and strong
Bear Rider: Image
Dwarven cavalry, 1 movement slower then normal riders but hard lance attack, bonus against cavalry
Boar Rider: Image
Dwarven Cavalry. Great against any non-mounted unit
Heavy Board Rider: Image
Dwarven Cavalry. Upgrade for the Boar Rider. Even greater against any non-mounted unit and pretty sturdy
Bombarde: Image
Unit from the Mountain Stronghold, cannon
Rune Master: Image
Dwarven caster. We can research new runes at the rune master to make it use more spell-like abilities
Priest: Image
Dwarven warrior healer
Cleric: Image
Upgrade for the priest. Stronger and with a wider range
War Smith: Image Image
Unit that works both as fighter and worker
Dwarf Monk: Image
Expert in martial arts; his fists are hard as rocks and can heal by himself by regenerating every turn or by using his action to fully heal

Btw, seeing your interest on the dwarven topic i made another mega mansion for them. I think that might fit more that race.

Let me know what you think about it.

Being a building under a mountain he might be less vulnerable against conventional siege units

I like that image a lot. Maybe some gold-light blue decoration on the gate would make this even greater

I woulf like to aslo suggest an advanced worker, the engineer/mechanic(h).
Have more buildinh points/ can use building twice a turn. And has a little higher fighting power than the simple worker

Something like a dwarven artisan. It might cost 4 (double of a basic worker, cause every dwarf is somehow adept at crafting) but having a double action and decent stats to allow him to defend himself

Dwarven monk
Dwarf with robes and a double bladed staff OR a staff soth metal studs on each end (whichever one seems better)
He would be able to heal like the templar
Two attacks (healing could be a cooldown ability so you can only heal once but attack once as well)
Built where preists and clerics are built
Can meditate (costs 2 actions +movement but heals half of max health and gives +1 power for 2 turns, can stack)
Stats are open for suggestions
Maybe costs 3-5
