Tactics
Known as the moving wall. The Volksgard emphasizes direct assaults and sheer power to defeat its enemies, with an emphasis on defense. Combining large fortress fully loaded with HMG nest, anti-tank guns, and flak cannons capable of stalling an attack while their armored trains, either bearing heavy weaponry or holding an entire battalion, allows their small forces to rapidly join the frontlines or protect their territory. With their forces mainly consisting of heavy tanks supported by their helicopter fleet capable of steamrolling almost anything. At the cost of their faction having no way expand their base, with the closest making long stretches of train tracks and defenses, with any force being produced having to either march/drive or take the train to get to the frontlines.

Mechanics

 * From the station we march: The Volksgard differs from all others in the fact that all production buildings are already built when a game starts. Earth smiths and scout trike are produced from the station. The units in the other buildings must be unlocked by purchasing upgrades. They are significantly tougher compared to other factions, with three times the health and twice the armor, and can be garrisoned by their infantry but they can't build more, and can only repair the ones they have if destroyed. And if the station itself is destroyed the Volksgard will cut their losses and retreat
 * Veterancy: As the Dwarves fights their units level up. Upon which they can choose to take either power, defense, or utility once, and once all three are obtained they can get their ultimate upgrade
 * Power: Unit gains a upgrade to their weapon and a damage bonus
 * Defense: Unit gains a defensive upgrade and armor bonus
 * Utility: Unit gains an upgrade to their ability, depending on unit in question
 * Ultimate: Unit gains an ultimate upgrade
