Dwarves and Buildings

The reason are obvious but sometimes newer players may not be exposed to fundamentals in use. Observe that dwarves build at -50% cost and have a +25% efficiency bonus. If you look at the bottom of your build page you’ll see:

Accelerated Construction (Double Cost and/or use of Free Building Credits)

So if dwarves pay full cost they can get acres that would otherwise be non-productive into action faster. This isn’t just a build tactic, this can be a kingdom strategy where stolen gold or tree of gold by teammates can jack their kingdom economy. Add in artisan speed and productivity or well planned war spoils from tactician and the number of dormant acre ticks per age can be cut significantly. The age can be thought of as a campaign as well as a war to war tourney.
