WEBVTT 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 --> 00:00:50.583 This Miner brings timber back to the Irondeep Keep. The Hammer Barracks cannot be paid for until the load arrives. Guard the road between the trees and home. 3 00:00:56.686 --> 00:01:06.763 The Irondeep Keep holds the delivered reserve. Housing and Hammer Barracks should come before an expensive Siege Foundry. Without workers, the mortar plan stalls. 4 00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:21.151 These homes send recruits to the Hammer Barracks. Tunnel Guards secure the ground first. Only then does a Siege Foundry make sense for this hold. 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 --> 00:02:28.862 The Deep Mine Refinery turns carried oil into useful fuel for the hold's equipment. Defend the Miners' route; metal walls cannot produce oil on their own. 7 00:02:53.799 --> 00:03:03.365 The Iron Watchtower holds a lane that slower Tunnel Guards can reinforce. Cover the hauling road so Miners have a defended place to fall back to. 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 --> 00:10:08.475 Forged Weapon Kit is studied at the Hammer Barracks, then fitted to eligible weapons. Buy it before a defensive line meets the push, not after the first losses. 17 00:10:51.257 --> 00:10:59.848 At the Siege Foundry, Armor and Harness becomes a fitting job. Let the screening troops equip before sending a slow machine into ranged fire. 18 00:11:40.502 --> 00:11:50.069 Missile and Siege Tools improves eligible ranged weapons after fitting here. For a mortar plan, buy it before the bombardment and keep a Tunnel Bulwark between gun and enemy. 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.
