Hammerhands Master of Magic

Hammerhands are Dwarven martial combat units in SimTex's cRPG of 1994, Master of Magic. Hammerhands are notable for being one the most powerful multi-figured units in Master of Magic.

This godly Hammerhands unit was achieved by a 6 Life Warlord Myrran Build that gained 2x Life, 2x Sorcery, 2x Nature and 1x Chaos spell books, in-game. cf. The Dwarf Fortress in that game.

Note that just ONE of those Hammerhands units (which can march in stacks of up to nine) can take out several Great Drakes. 

For 50 years, that Hammerhands unit -- only one -- defended a town against maxed doomstacks of rampaging monsters, including demon lords, death knights, werewolves and wraiths. At 2 points of fame per encounter, the Hammerhands unit accumulated 100 fame over that half a century.
