They obviously are farther ahead. Some of them at least can turn invisible which proves that they probably have at least as much magical talent as humans. They can build cities carved inside the living rock of a mountain while humans still insist on living in houses. Outside. They have mortars and grendades and guns, even balloons capable of sustained flight with dwarves aboard as well as parachutes. This actually puzzles me because if dwarves would be bad at weilding guns, why are they the standard Mythwars dwarf unit, 4 points cheaper that cocktail throwers. Just seems odd. And humans wern't being constantly harassed by ghols. In peacetime without having to develop new weapons they would almost cetainly be far superior to the humans technologically. But they will always remail subservient to humanity because they cannot use bows as their larger allies can. I guess they have to wait to discover the crossbow.
