His father, Roac the First,was recruited by Thorin Oakenshield tosend his folk to Dain in the Iron Hills torequest reinforcements, who ultimatelyturned the tide of the Battle of FiveArmies and secured the Throne Underthe Mountain for the House of Durin.Able to communicate with Dwarvesand Men in the Common Tongue, Roacis an aging, but important, asset to theDwarven war machine.Leadership to Ravens: +50%Armour, +10% SpeedDetects invisible units in sightradiusReduces enemy cavalry speedby 5% (passive)Upgrades:Dwarf Barracks UnitsAzagh-barukKhuzdul: Battle-AxesDwarves are by nature a hardy andtough race, and have honed their skillwith axe and sword over most of theirlives. As such, the King of the LonelyMountain has a great number of wellarmedwarriors to call on in times ofneed. In general their arms and armourare self-forged, but this is no obstacleto its quality. Some warriors prefer theblade, others the axe and shield, andstill others larger axes. Though not themost disciplined of troops, what theseDwarves lack in order they make up forin sheer tenacity, standing against oddsthat would terrify lesser beings, and givingno ground.Rank 5Increases Roac’s speed by 25%for 15 secondsRoac is an inexpensive raven hero useful for scouting. Though he cannotattack, Roac gains experience by purchasing upgrades for a smallcost, one for each level, allowing him to gain levels up to Rank 5. Hisabilities benefit your Ravens, granting them extra speed and armour.He also has an ability which boosts his speed, and can passively reducecavalry speed by a small amount. If your Ravens are being shotdown or you feel that you require a hardy scout platform, Roac’s lowcost may make him an attractive investment.Note that Roac cannot capture economy, outpost, camp or castleexpansion plots.Abilities:+25% Armour, -20% SpeedThe basic Dwarf Warrior, the Azagh-Baruk, is hardly cannon fodder.Equipped with axes and shields, they can receive powerful upgradesto boost their already impressive health and armour statistics to greatheights. Thus they remain a viable combat unit, even in the late stagesof a game. Their primary weakness is their lack of speed, and so theyare unable to catch most fleeing infantry and are therefore vulnerableto hit and run tactics with cavalry or, to a lesser extent, archers. However,clever use of various hero abilities can boost their speed temporarily,countering this disadvantage. Their smaller unit size of fouralso makes them vulnerable to swarming, though with their CrescentFormation ability available that further increases their armour, theycan hold out until help arrives.
