Descendedfrom the honoured Roac the First, andhis own forebears, they ably serve Dainand the Kingdom Under the Mountain asscouts, emmisaries, and lookouts w<strong>here</strong>verthey are needed.Raven’s sight range is increased by 100%at the cost of speed.Raven gains a stealth ability at a significantspeed cost. <strong>The</strong> stealth is brokenwhen units approach.Urkhas-felakKhuzdul: Monstrous Chisel<strong>The</strong> Dwarves of Durin have been involvedin many a siege over time, andhave gradually refined their techniquesinto a set of cohesive tactics suited totheir style. Many a battering-ram hasbeen crafted to break down an enemy’sgate, <strong>Dwarf</strong>-warriors flooding into theopening with a vengeance.<strong>The</strong> Urkhas-Felak is similar to the other battering rams present ingame;it is used to batter down structures and gates. This Siege Ramis comparatively stronger, as it is manned by <strong>Dwarf</strong> engineers wearingthick chainmail and leather armour. This makes it somewhat lessvulnerable to attack by archers, but it will still fall to a dedicated meleeassault quite easily.Raven’s speed is increased by +20%<strong>The</strong> Raven is a dedicated scouting unit trained from the Rookery. Thisallows the <strong>Dwarf</strong> player to overcome the disadvantage of his slowerinfantry through the use of a scout that can traverse impassable terrainand escape easily. With a Raven, the enemy’s movements becomeclear and their expansions can be monitored with ease. <strong>The</strong>se birdsare however fragile, and once discovered or hunted down, they can beeliminated easily, so the player should keep their eyes on them.<strong>The</strong> Raven’s upgrades also allow it to be even more versatile; theydo not need to be researched and take almost no time to equip. <strong>The</strong>upgrades make the Raven more specialized, adding speed, stealth oradditional sight range. Choose wisely however, as a Raven can onlyreceive one upgrade and each has disadvantages.Note that Ravens cannot capture economy, outpost, camp or castleexpansion plots
