 We Gnomes are the fun Dwarves. We are famous for our alcoholic beverages, fruit preserves, condiments, cuckoo clocks, music boxes, steam&sterling engines, clockwork servants, other assorted mechanical devices<sup>1)</sup> and because our girls have the biggest noses<sup>2)</sup>. While the rest of the world leans heavily on tradition we are innovators. The other local Dwarven kingdoms are stuffy, stuck up and full of themselves, especially those Longbeards. Sometimes they need to be taken down a peg. Yes, this explains a lot about the names of our governmental institutions. We maintain very friendly ties with the city of Urr, another thing in the long list of reasons why the others consider us nuts.  We Gnomes are the fun Dwarves.

 +==== Mount Central Heating Defenses ====
 +Our front door is actually a steam elevator entrance. Only gnomes understand how to operate it. Inside Mount Central Heating, our engineers have created a wonderful network of lava and stream pipes, quite useful if some we do not want here try to march through.

 +==== Food ====
 +The Gnomes need to spend 2 food tokens each week/Strategic Turn. If you don't have the needed tokens, your army will simply get up and migrate to another Dwarven kingdom that will feed them. There are the following modifications to look out for.
 +
 +  * The First turn of the game is an extended 4 week turn. So that is 8 food tokens for turn 1. 
 +  * If the Confederacy gains a large amount of guests, those must fed as well. 1 food token for each 1000 guests.
 +  * It is harvest time at the start of the game.
 +  * Gnome Haute Cuisine is the Awesomest Ever!!! So while the rest eats stew. Your guests get to eat grape jelly, flavoured with ammonium chloride, deep fried in a honey beer batter on a stick!
 +
 +==== Available food ====
 +
 +The list of available food at the start of the game: 
 +   * Emergency reserves: 10
 +   * Normal stocks: 10
 +   * On the mountain: 25
 +
 +Crops will crow with a factor of 1.25 every week until turn 3 (6 weeks). You are able to harvest 15 food rations a week. Please make a plan for your first 4 weeks because that is one turn. 
 +===== Gold =====
 +
 +Available gold:
 +
 +   * Gold: 80
 +   * Treasure: 80
 +
 +You really don't care much about this. Live is there to enjoy.

 Worth mentioning, there is a memo by **the Mistress of Steam** that urges any gnome without magical powers to not engage either the emperor, or his son in verbal sparring. Worth mentioning, there is a memo by **the Mistress of Steam** that urges any gnome without magical powers to not engage either the emperor, or his son in verbal sparring.
