Dwarves - ok on the original map (also it's modified F&I side 2 version), but sucking on F&I side 1 and Look Lakes! :)They may do quite well with variable VPs if there's no additional final scoring, as their main issue is to cross the central continent and connect e.g. H3 with G6. If (lack of) distance is not an issue, they could do their thing in the west and still build up a thriving network. OTOH it's quite a limitation to ignore the eastern continents and voluntarily limit yourself to the western half of the map, especially if the other factions are busy in the south-east quadrant, giving each other leech etc. while poor Dwarves aren't around to benefit from F5, H8 and G6, nor have any cards in the E7-and-neighbors hub.
