Q: Which game is The Dawnless Days being developed for?
A: Total War: Attila. No DLC is required.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: I can't find The Dawnless on Steam. Is something wrong?
A: The Dawnless Days is not available on the Steam Workshop as requested by Creative Assembly to avoid legal disputes, and can only be downloaded from NexusMods.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Where's the campaign?
A: To construct a campaign map we are required to design a custom tool (as CA does not provide one). The process of decoding the campaign-map binary files, as well as making the tool and then the map itself, is an extremely hard and slow process, making it extremely time-consuming. Expect a campaign in the future!
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Which factions will be included in The Dawnless Days?
A: 19 factions are planned for the 1.0 release. These are: Arnor, Gondor, Anduin-Vale, Rohan, Dale, Erebor, Ered Luin, Dunland, Rhun, Harad, Imladris, Lindon, Lothlorien, Woodland Realm, Isengard, Mordor, Dol Guldur, Gundabad and Goblins of the Misty Mountains. Subject to change.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: What is the order of priority of factions to come?
A: Mordor, Dol Guldur, Rohan, Woodland Realm, Rhun, Harad...
---------------------------------------------------
Q: When will The Dawnless Days be fully released? Will it cost money?
A: Rise of Mordor is far from 1.0 release, and will likely take some more years of passionate development to reach a 'complete' state. The Dawnless Days will NOT cost money.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Does the team accept donations?
A: The team does NOT accept donations and does not intend on doing so anytime in the future.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Will The Dawnless Days feature custom units such as trolls and wargs?
A: Yes. 'Goat (or boar) Cavalry' from The Hobbit will NOT be made.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: When is the next update coming?
A: We do not provide any release dates for any update at any time. Our Trello acts as a rough roadmap, though: https://trello.com/b/igTEaPWc/rise-of-mordor-public
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Will there be custom settlements?
A: Yes, such as Cair-Andros, Osgiliath, etc..
---------------------------------------------------
Q: What's the deal with Bannerlord?
A: The Dawnless Days will likely never move to Bannerlord. For a Lord of the Rings conversion of Bannerlord, please see the Kingdoms of Arda mod that is currently being developed.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: How about Total War: WARHAMMER?
A: We will not move to WARHAMMER due to the greater restrictions on modding tools and what is allowed to be made.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: How can I help?
A: Please refer to our recruitment discussion!
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Are designs in The Dawnless Days based on any other mod or game?
A: No. All designs are inspired by logic, lore (the books) and the Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit films.
---------------------------------------------------
Q: Will custom characters such as Sauron be added?
A: Yes. However, a custom unit takes an equal amount of time to create as any other unit, so they will be delayed until the full release or shortly after.
