THIS IS HUGE: Dawnless Days Campaign Q&A With NEW UPDATES!

[@TheDawnlessDays]

🤓☝ AKSCHUALLY: some answers to be corrected. - Q: *Will the mod still move to Thrones of Britannia?* A: We never stated we would. We said we are considering it for AFTER our campaign is in a refined state (after a few releases). No other games are even planned to be considered for a port. - Q: *How will the fellowship mechanic work?* A: There's no "Fellowship" mechanic per se, and none are planned, *for now*, but of course we would want a Ring script for good factions. We answered "No" because many people were asking about a Fellowship faction, which can't work in a TW setting. - Q: *Is the differences between Attila engine and Warhammer significant, or not really? Is it possible to transfer at least some of the progress of mod developing to new total wars?* A: Legally we just can't mod WH with other IPs, so it's not a venue we have considered. As for other games, it would take way too long to understand the campaign and be able to edit it. - Q: *How scripted is the campaign going to be? Aka how many scripts will there be for the factions?* A: Here with "9 playable factions" we are referring to v1, more are planned for later. - Q: *Is there an option to recruit balrogs or shelob's spiders?* A: If we had animators (and more 3D modelers), we would be able to be very expansive in our custom creatures choices. Until we get one, we can't even plan for them, which is why only the Mûmakil is planned for now. Thanks Terminator for the super comprehensive video of our very chaotic event! More is to follow! Also everyone please keep in mind we are trying to condense our work so that we can get the campaign out and get you guys in game, as well as people in the team to make our development faster.

[@makk143]

appreciate all the efforts you guys have put in the mod looks great

[@agonsfitness7308]

Personally, I would love it if the mod moved to Thrones. The optimization for Attila sucks ass and Thrones has the best sounding battles of all Total Wars. Daughter had her second birthday two months ago. I'm still here. Still excited. Still can't wait to play. Please finish it before a second one comes along,😆

You know its quite impressivr how total war modders maybe such fantastic mods (1212Ad,Dawless days,victoria age and more) its suprising how they made this jsut from attila, i cant wait for dawless days campaign

[@samrester6254]

Thanks Termi. Excellent job, as usual. Really appreciate the job you do on keeping us informed on all these different mods. Where most just chase and report on the new 'new', you give us what we really want.

[@agonsfitness7308]

Oh I would love if they moved the mod to Thrones of Brittania. The optimization for Attila is horrendous.

[@FreelancerCZ]

In 5 years it will run smoothly maybe 🌝😆

Terminator, personal request. Could you make a tutorial video on how to increase the threads of Attila?

Since I missed my chance to ask a question How about when the troops line up near the enemy they go into auto Defence stance so U don't have to press the button or press attack on every troop 👏

[@csharptrojanpentest2343]

I'm glad that won't be magic in battles, just a realistic LOTR battles, just as movies are. For me Warhammer series aren't even a Total War game, looks like League of Legends... TDD yes, it will be an acurrate fantasy Total War for my taste, fantasy but realistic at the same time. 😉

[@ryanthill9494]

Does anyone know if there would be a way to unpack the game files and change some of the features? For instance, I like playing with the elves, and having slower recruiting and population growth is something I’d want to reverse. Would that be possible?

[@dantalien6591]

Since there are allready sub-mods being made, chaneging recruitment/population shouldn't be impossible since they're easier to do than making new units.

[@Sonny_Doro]

Damn those Mordor Romans!

[@Krozin]

is there a TLDR on co-op campaign for this mod?

[@JackChurchill101]

I think the main city for isengard is isengard...

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Haha you are so right 🤣🤣 I had a brain fart

[@Tome36]

the only question that remains is how long until this mod rivals DAC for best total war LOTR mod

[@faspelliviv585]

Very soon *evil British laugh*

[@victimized1]

DaC is V5, they had many iterations and a lot of time to fine-tune their mod. The also have benefits of (some) better mechanics of the base game. I would suggest to try to treat them as different mods and enjoy both.

[@griff_the_boxer]

TLDR estimated release date?

[@mabl_12]

yeah finaly

[@Ancientwalkerr]

Finally, eline sağlık!

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Haha sagol kardesim!

[@spaceyjim0076]

People always refer to the trello but the trello is very outdated

[@victimized1]

Good point. Sadly it isn't something we can fix. Atlassian (Trello owner company) a few months ago changed their free terms of use and now the boards become read-only (impossible to modify) when the team is bigger than 5 members. So, we naturally moved away from Trello and physically can't maintain it anymore. Not by our choice

[@محمد-ذ3ص3ث]

Could they move the mod to a newer Total war and not TOB

[@dept308]

they already answered that bruh

[@TheDawnlessDays]

No, it would take way too long to understand the game enough to edit it to create a campaign for it. Without even mentioning the time it will take to change every asset. TOB is the same engine, just, better. It will take very little effort to port the mod. BUT WE HAVEN’T DECIDED YET.

@@victimized1 Ok, thanks,, might take a look.

[@valentinocba]

It would be far better to do this mod for Rome 2 total war and not for attila..

[@TheDawnlessDays]

Rome 2 is far less moddable than Attila. This mod was for Rome 2 originally, we moved for that exact reason.

[@valentinocba]

@@TheDawnlessDays What are the chances to contact CA to ask them to optimize Attila so the players dont experience the bottle neck and FPS fall when we have a lot of units on a map?

[@TheDawnlessDays]

@@valentinocba you can mobilize people and ask them. We shouldn't get that much visibility in their face.

[@darkestbeforedon914]

Dawnless Days does not need a supply system, in a magical world where something like lambas bread exists it makes little sense and detracts from the fantasy element of it

[@victimized1]

The more grounded a fantasy setting is, the better. You can't explain the rules of the world by just magic, it's abstract, it's vague and people cannot relate to it. The closer a setting / story to how people experience their lives, the bigger the chance they'll like it. Just because something is fantasy doesn't give an excuse to produce no-brainers. That being said, we don't plan on making a supply system V1 due to the amount of work it will take and due to the quality of it (we are just a mod, remember)

[@lordfreezer9550]

this should have just been a warhammer mod, skewed, yes, because official modding tools do not allow custom 3d models to be put in, but there are actually unofficial 3d model viewers and model importers developed if you know how to search them, friend phazer must still have the github for the TW model viewer still around, animations and models CAN be put into warhammer, unofficially, you even have musket reload animation mods and karl franz dancing around youtube... it should have been on warhammer to get advantage of the monster and flying unit behaviours, plus legendary lords and "end times" invasions... huge missed opportunity, hopefully sometime along the years it can be ported to warhammer and get those LoTR beasts done justice

[@ragnarok6521]

GW does not allow, otherwise there probably would have been a lotr mod etc. But GW says no to all.

[@Gyrosmeister]

We are aware of all the tools, the issue is that GW does not allow non-Warhammer IP mods

[@victimized1]

You don't understand lord of the rings if you think that lotr is closer to warhammer than to real world. Lotr certainly has flying units but how many? Eagles and Fell Beasts, both of which are tiny in numbers to make up armies. Lotr is not about shiny magic fireballs flying around the battlefield. It's historically-accurate realistic battles where people (albeit different races) in armour fight each other with swords, bows and cavalry.
