Is there room for a Dwarven city state? 

I would like to use firearms, as they're quite popular in Dwarven fantasy settings, however I agree that they should be in their infancy and totally inferior to say the Elven longbow. More than likely, my missile troops would rely on crossbows, as Dwarves are quite small fellahs, and would struggle to use anything bigger than a short bow. I'd likely equip the King's guard with rifles, and some of the newer more exquisite formations. I imagine they'd be much more advantageous in a tunnel environment, than on an open field where wind + rain could decimate their already questionable accuracy and effectiveness. 

But yeah, at least for the beginning-middle part of the RP, my little kinsmen would be relying on axes, shields, pikes and crossbows with a few experimental weapons mixed in (such as early cannons, or early grenades). The late part of the RP would feature a more 17th century style army, with pikes and muskets fulfilling a prominent role... but this is just me hashing out some ideas. 

Truth be told, I'd be happy to keep things purely in the medieval era.

I think that sounds really cool!
