Looks great. The names don't fill the main functions of a name. They are very hard to memorize, impossible to pronounce, hard to distinguish between and have no connection to anything else in the world for most people.

Thank you.

Especially since there are 2 more dwarven units in the elite tier

There is a total of three dwarves in my lineup, in Elite tier only Fjlôlsvidr/Râdsvidr is a dwarf and, according to ancient Norse dwarves legends, is human-sized.

Loving the Norse theme but the names are weird and confusing.

I'm scandinavian and Skjaldmger literally means "Shield Maiden" so why not just name it Shield Maiden?

Same thing with Dverger meaning Dwarf. So a Dwarf dverger would be a Dwarf dwarf.

Of all the dwarven towns, I like this one most.

There is still room for other creatures and I think 2 dwarven units is enough.

But still nice try and I kinda like it.

@Xerox :




@Rakshasa92 : Thx, I don't intend to change the lineup, but if you want to share about creatures you had in mind, is very welcomed.

oops my bad,mixed things up.
But I'd suggest to change one of the core dwarves in some way to make them at least more different,because right now it looks like "offensive dwarven warrior" and "defensive dwarven warrior".

For example the offensive one could go more into the direction of a berserker,giving him less armor or something like this,to make them at least visually more different.

But yeah overall it is a cool line up

This. The names are not just alien to many of us, they are extremely hard to even pronounce if you are not Nordic, too many consonants in a row for anybody unfamiliar with the way they read them.

Overall I like your line-up. Only units I don't like are the boar(hildisvfn) and chariot(vingthrorr). I just don't see boars as part of army personally nor like them. The chariot seems somewhat over the top and speciality reminds me of titans too much.

The names would also need to be changed in my mind. I like "mythological" names like fenrir, jotunn, valkyrie as I understand what they are. However most names give me no idea or image as to what they are or what they mean. Many are also very hard to pronounce. Also valkyrie just reminds me of pegasus-rider while I kinda understand them as flying with their own wings, but you're free to your own interpretation I suppose. Overall I do think your line-up has great potential and it is much better and more interesting than h5 line-up.

Awesome. Can you mod? In case we dont get dwarves in an expansion, I would love to see some dwarven mods.

Thanks guys for feedback

@Stormcaller : Thanks. And I know you are a Fortress lover, so thanks even more.
I never modded in my life (apart messing around with units in H3 but I never did anything worth), but we'll see about MMH7, maybe I will give it a more serious shot.

Dain II Ironfoot in Hobbit rode on an armored boar But I do agree, bears are more epic.

I miss dwarves. Hopefully we see them in an expansion. Haven is cool with it's defensive cosplay, but we all know who are the true masters of defense

I really like the lineup, quite original and really suits dwarves and Fortress.

The only problem is that those stats are not possible in current model (only stats of champions are similar to each other)

i would put giant as champion (such a huge creature is perfect for that)- and it would have definetely more health...

buth thor and fenrir are great!

good job overall!

It honestly feels like Galaad attended the Academy of Terrible Naming.

Man. If Ubisoft took that northern european crew idea and integrated it in heroes 7, they would surely replace about 3 units with 3 hot scandinavian 6 foot tall blondes with blue eyes.
