New Dwarf Mount

[zulnam]

We've all seen it. For a glimpse, we saw the real difference between the dirty proletariat pushing the rvr lakes and the dev bourgoisie, sipping martinis from their ivory, 5-star, towers.

Spoiler:

They want more dwarfs? More tanks? Well I say WE (we as in us, not witch elves) want WHEELS DAMMIT!


Dwarfs rise up! Idk, find a chair or something.

Lore-friendly underground fast movement via new Dwarf Mining ability, as seen on the Warhammer wiki.

Spoiler:

Ok, so:
normal mount speed, 50%/60%
while underground, dwarfs are basically invisible (similar to WH/WE stealth)
while mounted (and underground), dwarf player screen goes completely black (except UI) to simulate dark mining conditions. Players have to navigate using map.
Vertical ledge collision still present, but dwarfs can tunnnel under under physical game objects (like outer wall or trees; not inside keep/fort though).
While occupying the same spot as another physical object, the mining abilities (which would basically act as dismount at this point) is greyed out.

In order to visualise how this would work, here is a friendly simulation of what a dwarf warband would look like in RvR:
