Thanks Zaskow!
Have to say, they have outdone themselves, the Dvar units and abilities are something to behold. I'm not usually a big dwarf fan but these have hit home.
This has been very well thought out and executed!!
Trenchers, are absolutely fantastic. Loving the dig in feature.
The earth crushers processing particles and animation is both messed up and beautiful.
The unit displacement (Ram) is interesting, one race might be able to lob over friendly allies behind the enemies?
I wonder if mines are possible, something for the enemy to walk on and be consumed and destroyed.

Don't know if the power to just completely and irreversibly destroy an opponent's eco by dumping mountains on their sectors is OP or not, but I like the flavour.
The whole repurposed mining tools theme is quite well done.
Mountain creation seems really nasty because, unless you're also Dvar, there's nothing you can do about it, there's no counter. I guess it's supposed to be one of those super late game match resolving "spells".
The faction is very brown though, I wonder how custom coloring is going to look on them.
Not posting the spotlight here nor on Steam is kinda sloppy I gotta say.

More interesting for me than 2 previous factions. I like their machined, upgradeable armor and terrain altering abilities. To bad there is no underground this time.
And I'm happy to finaly see a tier 4 unit.
Will we get a Dvar stream?

I'm just going to point out the Mountain creating operation, specifically says that it creates a Hazard and a 'mountains overlay'. It wouldn't be entirely unreasonable to presume that removing the Hazard(as available mid to late game) would not also remove the mountain overlay at the same time, thus restoring the sector to standard functionality. Here is an image of the Operation below:
So it destroys a random colony upgrade but not the colony even if said colony's race cannot colonize mountains? A bit confusing but whatever. I guess it's powerful but not *that* powerful.
There are sectors that are entirely mountains and there are sectors that have mountains but have a space in the middle. I'm pretty sure any race can colonize the second (I think the vanguard annexed one in their stream) but only the dvar can turn the first into the second.
