DwarfHeim

A recipe overview for The Miner
Please keep in mind that this is a work in process and we may change the set-up of these as the game progresses in Early Access. If you play DwarfHeim today - this is recipe on getting the different minerals! We hope that it helps you all to enjoy the wealth a good Miner can provide!

A recipe overview for The Builder
We're currently working on a visual overview of the perks a good Builder can provide to the team and how to obtain them. Please keep in mind that it will be subject to tweaks/changes for balancing or additions, but at it's current status, this is the current recipe overview for what the Builder can concoct and how.



We hope this is helpful for our current players and new ones!

DwarfHeim Game Modes
Hey Everyone!
We hope you're all doing great and enjoying DwarfHeim!

We received some feedback from the community that some people were a little confused by DwarfHeim's game mode options. Since then, we have introduced some improvements that has made this clearer in HotFix 6.

We also decided to take some time and explain some of the different game modes and player options each mode contains. First up,

SANDBOX



Sandbox mode is a more relaxed game mode letting you take your time and get to grips with each class. Expand your settlement across the map in this single-player mode. All units and buildings are immediately unlocked, build your own experience, and create your perfect settlement in the Sandbox mode.

Sandbox mode can be played with 1 - 3 players.

1P (1VE)



You control all 3 classes. Build Mine and Defend your Dwarven Clan from the Trolls that lurk in the nests.

2P (2VE)


You and another human player select the Builder or Miner classes. Control of the 3rd class, Warrior, is shared between the 2 human players.

3P (3VE)


You and 2 other players select one class each then, work together to build and expand your clan as far as you can.

SKIRMISH



Put your strategies to the test in this challenging mode. Pit your Dwarves against an AI-controlled rival clan in a series of maps each more challenging than the last. Overcome challenges in each map from varying abundance of resources to difficult terrain and destroy the other Dwarven settlement before they come for you! An excellent way for you and your teammates to practise for the multi-player mode, Conquest.

Skirmish mode can be played with 1 - 3 players, both with and without friendly AI.

1P (1 human & AI V AI)



Select your class and team up with a friendly AI that controls the 2 remaining classes. Work side-by-side with your AI teammates to defeat the opposing team (controlled by another AI)

2P (2 humans & AI V AI)



Select your class and team up with another human player and a friendly AI that controls the 3rd remaining class. Work side-by-side with your friend and AI teammates to defeat the opposing team (controlled by another AI).

3P (3 humans V AI)



Just like CONQUEST, select your class and team up with 2 other people (with yuor friends or via matchmaking). Work together with your friends / teammates to defeat the opposing team (controlled by another AI).

1P (1VAI SOLO)



You control all 3 classes. Build Mine and Defend your Dwarven Clan from the AI controlled opposing team. A great way to challenge yourself and master all classes!

2P (2VAI DUO)



You and another human player select the Builder or Miner classes. Control of the 3rd class, Warrior, is shared between the 2 players. Be sure to co-ordinate defenses against the opposing rival clan.

SURVIVAL



Survival is a gruelling and fast-paced challenge mode. All classes, buildings, units and abilities are immediately unlocked but Trolls and Risi are extremely aggressive. Choose your difficulty, test your strategies and strength. Challenge yourself and try to outlive the onslaught of troll waves that come your way in the Survival mode.

Survival mode can be played with 1 - 3 players.

1P (1VE)



You control all 3 classes. Build Mine and Defend your Dwarven Clan from the Trolls that lurk in the nests. But watch out, the trolls just won't wait around for you to attack them however, they'll come for you in waves, each troll wave bigger and more difficult than the last.

2P (2VE)



You and another human player select the Builder or Miner classes. Control of the 3rd class, Warrior, is shared between the 2 human players. Be sure to co-ordinate defenses against the Trolls.

3P (3VE)



You and 2 other players select one class each then, work together to build your clan and last as long as you can against the troll onslaught.

CONQUEST



Not a single-player mode but we can't leave it out!
Conquest is the main co-op multiplayer mode of DwarfHeim. A competitive 3V3 game where opposing teams race for supremecy. Choose a class, join up with 2 other players and work together to tear through the enemy team’s defenses and destroy their Town Hall.

We hope these info-graphics help illustrate the host of different game modes available within DwarfHeim. Now, start playing!
