Development Update #12 - Enemy Types

Greetings, Dwarven Lords!

It's time to discuss the most common enemies that threaten our settlement in the mountains. While your Dwarves must overcome many challenges - such as floods, lava, and strategic planning - when it comes to natural foes, two types stand out the most. Trolls and goblins. Every dwarf hates those two races with a burning passion.

Trolls

You have probably already seen the Trolls in our trailer. Let's take a closer look at their characteristics:

• Trolls are strong and resilient, but also slow and thick-skulled. Plan your defense accordingly.

• They destroy everything in their sight. Trolls will demolish the buildings within your settlement with ease.

• Trolls can deal damage to several units around with one hit.

• Trolls attack alone, most of the time. On rare occasions, Trolls can form bigger groups, but it's a rare and deadly occurrence.

Goblins

Goblins haven't been shown much yet. In a way, those small, annoying creatures are a complete opposite of the trolls. Their distinct traits look like this:

• Goblins are fast and sneaky. They can try running away or chasing your units efficiently.

• Luckily, goblins aren't strong and their endurance is low. When in a 1v1 scenario, a dwarven warrior will kill one goblin with ease.

• To counter their weakness, goblins prefer attacking in groups or even swarms. They truly believe in strength in numbers.

• Goblins can be considered as greedy as Dwarves. While Trolls will happily obliterate everything in their way, goblins can sometimes prepare a sudden attack to steal resources from the player. This also means that they tend to collect their loot and keep it near their camps. If you encounter a group of goblins somewhere in the mountain, the precious gold coins will likely be there too.

What do you think about those enemies? And what other threats would you like your dwarven army to encounter? Let us know in the comments!
