What's the expectation for a potential Empire/Dwarf update?

When race updates are talked about, the Empire and Dwarfs tend to be fairly popular topics, but I'd like to hear what other people would expect from an update to either of them. There's no confirmation we'll get any race updates with ToD, but let's say they eventually get one.

I haven't played much with the Dwarfs, so I wouldn't know what to expect. Their tech tree was the only part of the experience that stood out as a bit outdated to me. Dwarf players are probably more in tuned to the race's shortcomings.

IE and Warhammer 3's additions have not been kind to Franz's campaign. He might have one of the hardest (and potentially the most unintuitive) starts in the entire game. That said, I'm not expecting some grand rework, they'll most likely want to build on the Elector Count system that's already there.

Adding TWW3's allegiance/coordination system would be a natural fit for the Elector Counts.

Additional buffs/penalties to push players away from instantly declaring an empire wide civil war might be the most assured update.

If CA do want to tune down Franz's campaign difficulty, they should look at Kemmler's faction first. Destroying the Barrow Legion is one of Franz's short campaign victory conditions and Kemmler has a good chance of walking into the Empire instead of going after Durthu. If Kemmler was coded to go destroy the Wood Elves and Bretonnia (like he was in TWW2), then that would be one less major faction the Empire has to deal with right away. Alternatively, removing the AI's ability to ignore AI controlled empire forts would remove Kemmler's shortcut into Reikland.
