Units:
Infantry are the Carpenters, berzerkers wielding a single large hammer, paired shorter hammers, or a hammer and metal spike, they swarm the enemy and attack with abandon, being croaked by the dozen but usually taking down an equal number of enemies. They are also effective at putting together hasty structures or siege gear.
Ranged are the Chuckers, stocky ranged units that hurl hammers at enemy heads. They are proud of their beards and sacrifice mobility for movement. Usually start as Garrison units and have to upgraded to go to the field.
Heavies are the Smiths, like Carpenters they usually wield massive hammers in one or both hands, their offhand often being a bastard sword or prongs, they are much stockier and covered in finely forged metal plates.
Siege are the Hammerams, four-wheeled machines of wood and metal usual put together by Carpenters and Smiths, these large siege engines are very hard to destroy, but are also very slow. They roll up to enemy walls and gates and proceed to set their head against the structure. Multiple hammers then begin striking the back end of the machine, acting like a pile driver.
The Empire of Hammerfall is not particularly large, but their cities are all safe within their mountain hexes, very easy to defend. The Hammerfall army usually does not travel far to do battle because of their low mobility, but often adds their forces to whomever can pay them the best and doesn't offend their honor. The stout Hammerfallians take pride in fighting, drinking, facial hair, and heavy metal. The rarely deal with magic, except anything to do with crafting or stone.
