Thanks again to the Dawnless Days team for giving me the chance to play out the Erebor campaign! I've honestly had such a fab time playing, making this video & hopefully by spreading some awareness we can get some more 2D, 3D, Level Designers & more game testers to speed up development and get a public release! Check out the Discord link to join the Dawnless Days discord and apply for open roles - discord.gg/tdd

I Love your channel and I’m shure you are very busy, as a Strategie gamer you might wanna look into Nobunagas Ambition:awakening it’s a true gem of TW like Strategie gaming in sengoku period of Japan. Don’t get fooled by the manga style, it’s a fully fledged hardcore Strategie game but not easy to get into. Sry for my englisch it’s not my mother language. Cheers

@jaspermooren58832 ай бұрын
@@d.cirovic1695 Most of them are a long time ago. The main problem is just that it is really expensive to get rights to use Lord of the Rings, the kind of money that CA just doesn't have. Maybe 1 day now that Warhammer has proven that fantasy Total War is definitely something that has an audience and is something that they can make. Total War has flying units now, single entity lords and hero's, and magic (although that would be really rare of course in a LotR Total War). So sad that Warhammer is so difficult to mod, since it would be by far the best game to make a LotR mod with. But CA of course could do it. And if they could get hold of the rights to LotR, there is absolutely no doubt they would.

It looks insanely good, The new mechanics for resolve/militancy ties the economic and will of the people into the campaign in such a way that doesnt really exist in other total wars. Sure, you could say war wariness is kinda similar but lets be honest it was just a negative debuff to public order. Same as religion, these mechanics sound so much more engaging and the expanding build system is exactly what you would need to manage it. Bravo, honestly this team is doing an amazing service to the total war community.
