1
00:00:07.738 --> 00:00:15.819
We begin with a Black Dwarf settlement. Its workers are building toward an army of armored infantry, support units, and siege machines.

2
00:00:41.295 --> 00:00:47.936
The worker carries these logs home. Wood becomes stored stock only after the journey back to a building.

3
00:00:56.686 --> 00:01:03.002
Inside the keep, these piles show its actual wood and gold. Tanks and vaults have finite capacity.

4
00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:21.058
Recruits begin at home and train. Military units also visit workshops for their own equipment; finishing research only unlocks the recipe.

5
00:01:46.094 --> 00:01:51.946
The Hammer Barracks is ready. It anchors the infantry side of the settlement while the workers continue building.

6
00:02:18.785 --> 00:02:27.051
The refinery turns carried crude oil into usable fuel. Its sealed stores support this race's pressure and flame equipment.

7
00:02:53.799 --> 00:03:00.718
The watchtower guards the approach. Placing it beside the working army helps protect resource routes without crowding the town.

8
00:03:37.798 --> 00:03:43.742
The Siege Foundry is complete. This is the production building we will return to for the heavier machines.

9
00:04:09.294 --> 00:04:17.700
The Ancestral Forge adds support recruitment and the Iron Champion's final research. There is still equipment to make before the army advances.

10
00:04:24.894 --> 00:04:32.835
Deep Veins speeds up gold harvesting. The settlement needs that income to keep expensive troops and machinery moving through production.

11
00:05:08.356 --> 00:05:16.298
Stonecraft makes buildings absorb three damage from each hit. It strengthens the settlement's defenses while the army is still being prepared.

12
00:05:58.042 --> 00:06:05.565
Tempered Shields adds armor after personal fitting. The listed infantry gain four armor, while Iron Moles gain two.

13
00:06:49.837 --> 00:06:59.218
Crossbow and Siege Winches improves Arbalests, Chain Wardens, and Cinder Mortars. Once fitted, they gain three damage and four armor piercing.

14
00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:56.309
Fortified Workshops increases building health by twenty percent. It also makes Forge Tenders repair buildings and machines twenty-five percent faster.

15
00:08:51.097 --> 00:08:59.967
Oath Ward lets a fitted Iron Champion give nearby allies seven extra armor for eight seconds. The benefit depends on keeping those allies close.

16
00:09:59.512 --> 00:10:08.150
The Forged Weapon Kit adds three melee damage to eligible units after fitting. This is a separate improvement from the race-specific studies.

17
00:10:51.257 --> 00:10:59.152
The Armor and Harness Kit adds two armor to military units. Each soldier still needs a workshop visit to receive the equipment.

18
00:11:40.502 --> 00:11:47.468
Missile and Siege Tools adds three ranged damage after fitting. The kit goes to units whose weapons can use it.

19
00:12:36.597 --> 00:12:44.770
Dwarf Miners handle more than mining. These workers gather the settlement's supplies, carry them into storage, and construct new buildings.

20
00:13:12.347 --> 00:13:20.985
Tunnel Guards form the basic melee line. They give the ranged troops and slower machines room to work without taking every attack themselves.

21
00:14:46.243 --> 00:14:56.228
The Dwarf Arbalest supplies ranged fire. Armor-breaking allies can help its shots against tougher targets, while the front line keeps attackers at a distance.

22
00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:26.438
The Iron Champion can protect nearby allies with Oath Ward. Keep the champion with the formation so that the armor bonus reaches the units under pressure.

23
00:18:29.639 --> 00:18:38.927
A deployed Tunnel Bulwark gives nearby allies extra armor, but becomes extremely slow. Its shield works best when the formation stays close.

24
00:20:13.496 --> 00:20:22.366
Rune Pickbreaker hits can strip armor temporarily. Preparing its stronger strike helps expose a tough enemy to the rest of the army's fire.

25
00:21:49.643 --> 00:21:58.373
The Cinder Mortar can spend fuel on a delayed explosive shell. Its three-and-a-half-tile minimum range leaves a blind spot that infantry must protect.

26
00:23:23.631 --> 00:23:31.387
The Iron Mole can drive a fueled drilling rush into a structure. After the breach, its long recovery creates an opening for defenders.

27
00:25:26.178 --> 00:25:34.583
A Forge Tender can repair a friendly machine or building. Targeting a living soldier instead gives that soldier a temporary armor brace.

28
00:27:04.341 --> 00:27:12.979
The Chain Warden can root one nearby enemy and interrupt its strike. That creates a brief opening for a mortar shot, if the mortar is in range.

29
00:28:44.343 --> 00:28:52.934
The Black Dwarf army wants a compact advance: shields protect the line, picks weaken armor, and tethers can hold targets for the siege weapons.

30
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:09.616
The Tunnel Bulwark holds near the bridge as the rest of the column spreads across the far bank. The shield bearer is still trailing the forward machines.

31
00:29:31.336 --> 00:29:37.559
The Iron Mole is out in front near the enemy tower, with the main group behind it. The drill has reached the fight.

32
00:29:46.343 --> 00:29:53.773
The Forge Tender has moved into the forward group. It is already wounded, so keeping this support unit alive is becoming part of the fight.

33
00:31:31.849 --> 00:31:38.165
The Chain Warden is now close to an enemy beside the barrel. The mortar follow-up is missing from this recording.

34
00:34:50.090 --> 00:34:57.427
The Black Dwarves take the keep. The army reaches its objective, but this recording never shows the Cinder Mortar's special shell.
