I suppose, still how would Mathilde be integrated into the stories? Since they need to enhance the Dwarven part of all of this for attracting more support.
"It's a sign of proper Dwarf planning, diplomacy, and the close alliance with the Empire of the manling Thane Sigmar that they got a manling mage of such caliber to join the expedition. The ore was first heated when the brave Dawi of Zufbar combined forces with the manling lord Van Hal to properly deal with the Zangunaz menace..."
Kinda yeah, actually. There are ten dwarf men for every dwarf woman, so the women don't usually go to war. Dwarfs are also actually pretty fertile for an elder race, and only old dwarfs can get married, so most of the deaths we see don't actually impact the birthrate.
Dorfs will probably remember than Empire as an institution failed to provide any help, but otherwise seems spot on.
As far as I'm aware, the ratio is more like 1 in 5 Dwarfs are female.
This makes way too much sense.
Arcane Mark: People don't forget you, exactly, but they do keep getting your name wrong.
Yeah, the Elector Counts didn't help, but as a Magister of the Colleges (and thus part of a separate decision-making process of the Empire) we and the Journeymanlings should definitely account for something.
I don't think that's how it works. Everyone could know that there's some Mathilde who kicked major ass and hear all about her exploits, people would just have a hard time remembering actual Mathilde when she's around.
What I meant was more 'These and these soldiers are from Ostermark', and so on and so forth. The Empire sent help, but all in independent units and such (even the soldiers from Stirland I wouldn't really count, given that they mostly quit beforehand). There may be a bit of legal finagling to the contrary, but not any the dwarves would be fooled by.
