Sets

Avoiding danger[]

Only goblins steal items from your stockpile, so if there are too many enemies for your tribe, you can move all your dwarfs to a safe place and return in the morning without having items stolen.
Destroy graveyards as soon as possible in order to reduce the number of skeletons you encounter during night time. Do it during day time so any spawned skeletons die immediately. Or do it during night to get some extra easy experience. Leave one or two graveyards as you may need to kill the spawned skeletons to get skeleton’s bones for crafting and for keeping your dwarfs challenged, improving their fighting skills. And as a bonus, loot weapons can be disassembled to iron ore & other materials.
Use beware sign to limit and prevent dwarfs from moving into dangerous locations, like deep waters, heights or enemies.
Stay away from guardians until you have mythril weapons.
When a dwarf falls into lava (the bottom of the «world»), it takes severe damage and dies unless they manage to get out. Dying in lava destroys equipment (armor, weapons, etc.) rather than leaving loot that other dwarfs can collect.

Dynamic surroundings

Base layout[]

Gab’s payday 2 mods

You will be fine just building one-level-thick stone walls to enclose your base for at least the first few hours of the first level, upgrading later to two layers thick, then upgrading one or both levels to bricks as you get them.

Try not to think of your base as being an unbreakable nut to crack, but more as a way to funnel attackers so you control the engagement. For example, a long corridor filled with doors will allow you to attack even with without getting hit back. Using spikes and traps will give your missile troops more time to kill enemies. A row of spike traps will also give you extra time.

Armor your melee dwarfs initially. If you need to put armor on your / to protect them, your base layout needs improvement. Once you start going after guardians though, you’ll definitely want to armor everyone up.

Advancement speed[]

Shamelessly use the portal spell, especially in the early game, when leveling up happens more frequently, replenishing the mana pool.
You can instantly build anything by manually controlling a dwarf because you have access to all items.
Mine second background layer of material by replacing with dirt.
Destroy the goblin camp for loot to give yourself time to advance before they spawn another camp.
Skeletons and Goblins sometimes drop better weapons and good loot, so fight them often, especially in the early game.
Use scaffolds for construction, mining and even in fighting … be creative.
- Scaffolding is erected immediately and doesn’t require assembly by dwarfs.
- Removing scaffolding is instant, and doesn’t require assembly by dwarfs.
- Constructing a foreground block on top of a scaffolding immediately return the scaffolding to your inventory—there’s no need to haul it back to the stockpile.
Build a vertical shaft above the stockpile and put crafting stations in a column over it with ladders between levels. Dwarfs will drop crafted items onto the stockpile for faster gathering.
You can have more than one wagon on the same rail track to quickly transport more than one dwarf horizontally.
Place an elevator at the top of a vertical shaft. The elevator mechanism requires a 3×2 area, but the shaft below only needs to be 1 block wide, and can contain ladders.
Tea, beer, and wine makes dwarfs move quicker.

Satiety[]

For the complete list of foods, see the main article: Food.

	“	Put some kind of food on the table, like apples. The dwarfs will take the food on their own when they are hungry.	„
	~ Task «»

The satiety of each dwarf is represented by 3 slices of bread — . All full slices represent the maximum of 10 satiety points.

As the time passes, the dwarfs become hungry and the slice more on the right will shrink until it disappears. The losing of satiety points follow this rule:

-1 point each 9 minutes of ingame time, if dwarf is idle.
-1 point each 6 minutes of ingame time, if dwarf is working.

So, more tasks the dwarfs receive, more food should be served on the table.

Hungry

When a dwarf has less than 1 , he/she will become hungry. The player will then be notified with the sign below.

Dwarveshungry

If there is one or more dwarfs hungry, this sign appears on the left side of the screen. Clicking on this icon will show one by one all hungry dwarfs.

When all are gone, the dwarf starts losing .

Monotonous food

If a dwarf eat 3 times in a row the same food, there is no other kind of food served and he/she have less than 2, he/she will state:

X?! I can’t eat this anymore!

Being «X» the food eaten 3 times. This dwarf will have to eat at least 1 time another nutriment before he/she can eat that food again. So, there is no need to have a huge variety on the table. If the player can serve at least 2 kinds of food, there will be no monotony problem.

Regen bonus

All dwarfs with more than 7 satiety points receive a health regeneration bonus of 1 health point each 5 minutes. So, if food with healing properties — like apples (growing only in the forest world) — are hard to get, it’s still possible to heal the dwarfs by keeping them well fed.

Defense[]

While melee monsters are attacking a door/hatch, you can attack them from inside safely without getting damaged. Ranged enemies like skeleton archers though can shoot through the door/hatch and damage dwarfs. Use stone loopholes to reduce the damage received.
Build terrain traps
- You can create pits around your shelter to trap monsters. Most monsters cannot climb, unless they find a shield stair.
- Sand walls may be used as a good defensive setup.
Craft defensive traps
- Use wood/iron cages to hold monsters and delay them as much as possible.
- Wisely use wooden/iron traps to kill/injure monsters and to kill animals near your base, instead of running after them. Note that traps will be consumed in the process and re-crafting traps will quickly deplete your wood/iron resources, so limit their use.
- Spikes are so good at delaying hordes but consume resources, so limit your their use too (creating many 2*2 stone block pits from both base sides are more effective, and some stone can be retrieved after it is destroyed).
Seal your base under three layers of dirt, only venturing to the surface using the portal spell.

Ammunition

According to the type of ranged weapons dwarfs are equipped with—bows, electric bow, flamethrower or guns—they will automatically select the related kind of ammo: arrows, electric charges, fuels or bullets, respectively. Each type of weapon has a default basic unlimited ammo (infinity symbol), so dwarfs can shoot at will as soon as they’re armed. This basic ammo is always «enabled» (green check) in the «» menu for dwarfs using a related ranged weapon.

For the purpose of increasing the damage applied, special ammo can be crafted and used on most critical battles. These items have to be crafted individually on crafting stations and carried to the stock for then become available in the «Equip» menu, where they can be enabled/disabled for each dwarf separately. They are disabled by default for all dwarfs. But equipping a dwarf with a (new) ranged weapon automatically enables all types of special ammo related to that (new) weapon and already existing in the stock. When more than one type of ammo is enabled for a dwarf, the most effective will be used first.

In a Normal mode game, when a dwarf dies, a replacement will spawn at the stockpile in:

5 minutes, if only one dwarf is dead (and the player has at least another one);
2 minutes, if more than 1 dwarf have died, but not all of them. In this case, the 1st dwarf respawn in 5min and all the others in 2 minutes;
20 seconds, if all dwarfs are dead. In this case, the 1st one respawn in 20s and all the others in 2 minutes.

If a dwarf respawns it will lose all skill progress and will only have 1 skill at level 10, following the spawning .

To avoid this loss, the player may use a soul keeper, available from tier 7 of the tech tree, with the basic alchemy.

History

Before the Fall

Craftworld View

Prior to the Fall, Craftworlds were vast trading ships, effectively, whole self-contained communities housing hundreds of Eldar families. Trading missions could take the Craftworlds thousands of light years beyond Eldar civilisation, separating the community from its homeworld for centuries. This meant the Craftworld communities had already developed a strong sense of independence and self-reliance, so they remained mostly separate from the increasing decadence of their species. Because a Craftworld might return to the rest of Eldar civilisation only three or four times in a thousand years, it was easy for them to see the degeneration of Eldar society, while to the Eldar as a whole the slow degeneration was too gradual to recognise.

As the final weeks leading to the cataclysm approached, the returning Craftworlds’ crews founding their worlds in ruin. Taking with them any Eldar who still remained sane, the Craftworlds fled the Eldar civilisation. Some Craftworlds were caught and consumed by Chaos along with the Eldar worlds as the Eye of Terror tore open reality, others survived for thousands of years before their people finally faded and died, while others endure to this day.

The Current Age

For thousands of years after the Fall to the current day, the Craftworlds have carried the greater part of the surviving Eldar. Craftworlds contain Webway gates, linking each other as well as to millions of planets, allowing the dispersed Eldar civilisation some measure of cohesion. Because the Webway is labyrinthine and impossible to map, many Craftworlds are effectively lost, unknown and cut off from the greater part of Eldar civilisation. They have grown greatly in size since the Fall, when they became the sanctuary worlds of the Eldar race. They are now approximately 10 to 100 times bigger in volume than they were before the Fall. Thus, Craftworlds are effectively worlds in space, each a self-contained biosystem, with forested and natural areas as well as urbanised ones. These natural areas provide a breathable atmosphere to the Craftworld and renewable resources. There are often sections that are uninhabited and awaiting reconstruction. Vast space docks located outside the Craftworld house fleets of spacecraft. These fleets are capable of travelling through Warp tunnels, allowing Eldar of the relatively slow-moving Craftworld to bring their forces to areas of the galaxy thousands of light years distant.

Every Eldar of a Craftworld is a highly trained warrior — in battle these citizen-soldiers are known as Guardians, forming the Craftworld’s defensive militia. Craftworlds are independent realms, sometimes acting mutually, combining military forces, acting together to achieve a common objective, and trading or exchanging knowledge. Exodites often trade with the Craftworlds, but believe that the Craftworld Eldar are too close to the old ways of decadence for their own good. The militarily-stronger Craftworld Eldar grant some protection to Exodite Eldar.

It is known that the last Imperial assault against a Craftworld ended as a disaster at the Battle of the Blood Nebula, which saw the loss of an entire sector fleet thus leading to the Imperium adopting the stance of dealing with individual threats of the Eldar rather than provoke an entire nest of them.

Male and female differences[]

Originally the game featured only male dwarfs as the playable race. The female characters, available with the Sisters in Arms DLC, are equivalent in everything: A.I., behaviour, carring capacity, tasks assignments and skill progression. They only differ in visual appearance, in voice timbre and in few attributes, like health, base armor and speed (walking, running, jumping, climbing and swimming).

	~ DLC — Sisters in Arms announcement

Properties[]

Armor

This property appears as a green positive integer when hovering the cursor over the item in game and is shown on the second column on the tables below. The greater this value, the less damage the dwarf will suffer, except if fire is the source of damage, e.g.: the Keeper of the Altar’s .

Bonus

Some armor pieces grant an extra bonus other than the physical protection, generally related to a skill and declared on the item’s description. This article limits itself to indicate the existence of such secondary bonus with a plus sign (＋) right after the armor value. For the bonus itself, see the items’ article.

Agility

More protection comes with the cost of mobility. The speed reduction affects the dwarfs movement while walking, running, jumping or climbing. This property appears as a red negative percentage when hovering the cursor over the item in game and is shown on the third column on the tables below.

Armor per agility reduction

The «A/a» number is the relation between the armor points and the agility reduction, i.e. how much armor points an item grants for each unit of agility reduced. The wooden armor, for example, not only is the lower in absolute armor points but also has the worst A/a index, because it causes more speed reduction than protection increase. Meanwhile the leather armor, although it is still weak in asoblute armor points, it has a very good A/a rate, slightly better than the chitin and much better than the steel armor.

Source

Most armor pieces can be crafted by dwarfs or bought at the shop (see column «Price»), but some, usually the ones with special bonuses, can only be acquired through a variety of alternative sources, listed below on the columns «Acquired by».

Prices in reddish color indicates that the item cannot be bought at the shop. The value was extracted from the game files and can be useful for when choosing items to donate to Takmak.

Creatures[]

Rules to all biomes:

Restless dwarfs guard the boost rooms.
There are no typically annoying creatures like giant spiders, giant worms, larvas and ghosts; except rats, these can appear in all biomes.
There are no typically wave creatures like beholders, gargoyles, giant skeletons, zombies armor-breakers and giant throwers.
There are no guardians.
There are no dragons on the lava level.
(DLC Sisters in Arms) The player starts with one pet house in the inventory and can craft more. The number of pets though, follows the general rule: if 6 dwarfs, 3 pets.

Other rules:

Animals that provide wool and leather are present in the Forest and the Underground biomes.
There are hens in the Forest biome, but there are no flying octopi in the Underground.
There are no Cave Spirits in the Underground World.
Hidden rooms are populated as usual with mechanical guardians, ancient gargoyles, skeletons and zombies (inside the doors).

See the special creatures at the .

Health[]

The health of each dwarf is represented by 3 red hearts — .

The health of each monster is represented by 3 green hearts — .

And the health of each animal, usually non-hostile or semi-hostile, is represented by 3 yellow hearts — .

When a target get damaged, the heart more on the right will shrink until it disappears. When all hearts are gone, the target dies.

Causes of health loss

Quite a few things may inflict damage on dwarfs:

be hit by any hostile creature, including some carnivorous plants;
fall or jump from a height of more than 3 blocks;
lose his/her footing while climbing and fall from a height of more than 2 blocks;
stay or swim underwater without a diving helmet; and
stay on or swim on the ;
