Does the Redbeard Tribe have more than three thousand members?
That indeed can be considered a large number, making it a powerful Dwarf Clan.
Unlike humans, Dwarves generally have smaller populations; a female Dwarf typically only bears one or two offspring in her lifetime.
Human Pioneer Territories such as the Hesse Territory have just over two thousand people, just getting started. They haven't even formed a small town yet.
But if a Dwarf Fortress has three thousand people, that's a clan with a long history, where all adult Dwarves are qualified soldiers.
Imagine two thousand Dwarves clad in heavy armor, wielding massive war axes and shields, charging with roars under the cover of cannons and firearms—such a scene is terrifying.
Even Giants and Ogres would crumble and flee before such formidable might.
Only the large monster armies in the forest could confront them head-on.
Only a Green Dragon gathering its vast followers could pose a threat to the fortress's existence.
