All players and classes share the common goal of growing their Dwarven Clan. Develop and expand your settlement together by gathering, sharing and spending resources. Research DwarfHeim’s technologies for all 3 classes, granting buffs, new units and defences (we recommend trying the hearty ales)

DwarfHeim has 3 unique classes to choose from.
Builder: The Builder Class and their units support the team by healing units, building defenses and houses, creating farms, and concocting soothing brews.
Miner: Focus on gathering and refining resources, building machinery and traps, and blowing up defenses and buildings.
Warrior: Train your army and defend the town. Slay creatures to get gold and equip your army with legendary weapons to destroy the enemy team.
