Identical in all ways to conventional Dwarves, but they are effectively invisible. The ultimate stealth operative, the Pathfinder can sneak unseen anywhere he likes as long as he refrains from doing things that make his presence known. The Pathfinder Dwarf will become visible if he makes contact with an enemy unit, drops or picks up a Satchel Charge, or attacks. If you have a particular mission that requires the Pathfinder Dwarf to achieve a goal, you must keep him alive, and probably therefore invisible, until he achieves that goal, or the scenario will terminate. 
Given the dangerous nature of his work, keep in mind that most of his are suicide missions - once exposed, he will probably find himself outnumbered and set upon. Still, if your Dwarf skills are first-rate, you can make sure he takes a few folks with him before he goes. Like regular Dwarves, Pathfinders are very slow and very fragile. Warriors 
The human foot soldiers of the forces of Light, Warriors are heavily armored fighters essential to most attacks; they're not flashy or fast, but they do their job very well. That job, specifically, is taking on opposing melee units (though they can't take quite as much punishment as Thrall) and guarding weaker units like Bowmen and Dwarves. Essentially, they are a human wall that occasionally gets unleashed to kick a little Dark tail. They are slower and weaker than Berserks, and less effective in most instances, but their stronger constitutions make them useful in defensive roles.Don't get the idea, however, that Warriors are solely defensive weapons. Unlike their Dark counterparts, the Thrall, Warriors are fairly fast on foot and attack. These finely polished fighters have more offensive potential than those undead punching bags. The durability of these units makes them a good choice for rushing and breaking up a group of Soulless and any other smaller, unarmored units. They are equally adept at dealing with undead units, like Ghasts, but are susceptible to the debilitating infections carried by these monsters. One application requiring special attention is the Warriors' effectiveness against Myrkridia. These lupine monsters can tear through a couple of Warriors with little problem, but a large number of Warriors skillfully brought around the Myrkridia will fell the monster before it can do too much damage. Warriors are the unit of choice for this purpose due to their superior armor. |
