Dwarfs are a Norse villager unit that work alongside the Gatherers. They gather Gold 20% faster but gather Food and Wood 20% slower. The Dwarf cannot build anything other than Farms like its Gatherer counterpart but may be converted into a Ulfsark for the price of a new Ulfsark. However, this wastes the resources spent on the gatherer to start off, so it is always smarter to train Ulfsarks from the Longhouse or from a Town Center, unless the situation is desperate.

Note: Despite getting the fullest extent of population, only 40 Dwarfs can be trained.

Dwarfs can be assigned with different tasks.

• To gather Food from Farms.
• To gather Food from bushes.

Buildings Edit
