Technically, the second cost of war isn't entirely human, considering the diversity of races on offer. Money can't fight for you on the battlefield though - you need boots on the ground for that - which is where Warhammer's Old World truly comes alive. The larger the gap between the two, the more breathing room you have to build the future of your choice. From here, basic math dictates that you require a greater inflow than outflow to stay in the green.

You earn money as a result of the buildings you choose to construct, be it a livery or a port, and by taxing the proles. Apart from these massive asset investments, armies also entail a daily maintenance cost known as "upkeep". Without regular resource collection, money is crucial to everything you wish to undertake, from building up your army to expanding your settlement's capabilities. For the most part, the latter - currency - could easily be construed as the most important element. Both form the twin pillars on which the game rests, and in turn your survival. The Chaos Dwarfs often try to improve upon their slaves and were the original creators of the Black Orcs and even Grimgor."War is unending," the narrator proclaims in the introductory video for Total War: Warhammer, the tenth title in the turn-based strategy series from Creative Assembly, and the first of its kind to eschew historical accuracy for a fantasy setting - the world of Warhammer.īut war has a cost: both human and monetary. They often use these poor creatures as soldiers to make up for their low numbers. If introduced as a playable race in Total War, Chaos Dwarfs would be the perfect antithesis to the normal dwarfs players are used to. In addition to having access to war machines, they can also use magic by inscribing runes onto their skin. This makes them a considerable threat, but it also slowly turns them to stone. Their army would be more than just war machines, however, as the Chaos Dwarfs are also the master slavers and beast tamers of the Chaos forces. While they’ve only been briefly mentioned within Warhammer lore, they were given an army list at one point.

They are the forge masters of the legions of chaos and made an appearance as the crew of the Hellcannon. Chaos Dwarfs, known as Dawi-Zharr to their cousins, were a group who fell to the influence of a powerful demon and turned from the worship of their ancestors. However, while they couldn’t fall due to outside influences, there was nothing to stop them from choosing to follow the dark gods. The sons of Grimnir are strong and stalwart and were designed to be resistant to magic and, therefore, Chaos by the old ones. The Dwarfs are one of the staple races of the Warhammer world.
