Hi guys WarPig here with another suggestion for the mod, this time I will be talking about dwarves, as many of you know I am obsessed with them and here are my revised ideas on dwarves of the ironhills

rename Durin's Folk?

I like the name Durin's Folk and its sounds awesome but since the other dwarven factions will be called simply: blue mountains, red mountains, I know durin's folk was named that way and its a perfect name but after calling the other faction blue mountains then we should perhaps rename the faction to Ironhills, perhaps this shouldnt be changed but comment and tell me what you think I may be wrong!

Rams for the ironhills

Now I know Rams are LoD and and its highly possible they will be added, a Mevans has said that he wants to replace vanilla farm animals which makes loads of sense as Rams would not only replace sheep in lots of biomes but would become a fantastic mount for the folk of the iron hills. Rams would probably be grey and brown in colour and would be very simliar to sheep but with horns. They would be mainly in mountainous biomes and wouldn't tend to spawn in flat biomes like eriador and lonelands. They would be riden and mounted only by the Ironhills dwarves. They would be a expensive unit and would act as a bit of an elite. They would cost 300-400 alignment, the Rams would wear armour which would be armour styled like that of the dwarves. The mounted would be a dwarves with spears who would be a vicious opponent due to there fantastic ranged spear attack and speed. The ram would also have a fantastic jump almost three blocks high, this as you see is why they would have such high alignment requirements. Do you think this is balanced?

Dwarves above the ground?

I know it's the nature of dwarves to spawn and live underground and they aren't numerous as other folk but, when I wander the ironhills Espeacially at night it feels like gundabad owns the place! Now I knao the dwarves are at war with the orcs and gundabad is constantly trying to invade the dwarven realms, but perhaps dwarves could spawn not as commonly as orcs but some would spawn naturally above ground, now i know lots of people would say that dwarves wouldn't like to be above ground too much and would prefer to be hidden and underground as well as not being so much of a numerous race! But to have some dwarves spawn above ground not to commonly but sometimes!

Thanks a lot for reading guys, please comment with any critcism or ideas for me so I can improve this suggestion I will add more to this and pictures soon! Thanks guys!
