I agree that I would like a Dwarf game, but also agree we should not confine games to a specific race (especially as you need at last 4 different races, your own one and the three enemy groups) .
Personally, my main flaw with Frontiers is its rather terrible story. A dwarf free hero and different level descriptions could have made a very different and enthralling story. (something along the lines of stopping the evil (Malagar) from breaking into the ancient Dwarven homelands and freeing the enemy that they trapped in there, fleeing to Linirea afterwards). But hey, I just like Dwarves.
I actually have some ideas I have been putting into a Dwarf MC (shameless self promotion) but some ideas:
Artillery could be bombs, earthquakes, sound or anything else vaguely Steampunk. A mage could be based around granting runes to towers, empowering them, while another deals heavy damage, but deals physical damage (in Dwarf civil wars armour peircing magic was outlawed as it was unfair. Barracks couls be suited mechs, or glass cannon bombers, while archers use ballistas, crossbows, guns.
THe possibilities are endless. Steampunk Dwarves would also nicely contrast the elves who have various magic (magic trees, and bears/curses in artillery, enchanted arrows etc)
