Simplifying will lead aof to aos. Where all are equal.

I am trying to achieve balance with counting as much factors as possible.
Also for now dwarves are nearly worst at siege (i don't count scaledfolks, worse are only elves and undeads).
And due to alex don't want steam tanks and things like that i don't know how to cover for dwarves this hole.
Dwarves are great at buildings but they can't destroy enemy buildings fast.

I once tried match dwarf vs dwarf. It was really annoying and painful. 20-30 turns to destroy one kingdom under mountain.

Problem that golems must be melee units. They can't be ranged.

And dwarves need good ranged siege.

Should I make a topic about these then? They are the dwarven ballista from the hobbit, battle of the 5 armies.

Can some golems have the ability to throw?

And since its still not exactly known how advance dwarves are its kinda hard to make any advance units for dwarves

This feels unnecessary. It'll just make the game more complicated and less enjoyable. Limiting the magic would limit the amount of potential new units that would be added

Their are still loop holes. You just have to look. Plus, I'm pretty sure you can have 1 unit who extends past their races magic boundaries, much like a unit that can extend last their races trait boundaries at the cost of a higher cost.
