Development Log 1 - Dwarves of the East
Hello there! Welcome to our fist Development Log, called "Dwarves of the East". Since we have been asked to leave ModDB, we haven't been able to publish any kind of DevLogs; but from now on, you can expect to see here, from time to time, shorter and much more interesting updates on the progress of the mod.
One word before we begin. We know that you haven't seen much in terms of content from The Dawnless Days: the truth is that we have taken some much needed rest after the 4 huge releases that took place last year and we have used this time to move into more complicated parts of our work, such as architecture, map-making and of course, the campaign. While work has been going on the latter, we still have no concrete news to give you: but rest assured, work has been don... -

Seeing the amount of interest towards Arnor faction in our recent polls, we've decided to shine some light on it's gameplay plans.
For some reasons (that will explained in future articles), Eriador region as a whole, will not be available on initial campaign release. Initial = first public Rise of Mordor campaign release, featuring Middle-Earth map (which is not coming soon, sorry).
This means that Arnor faction will not be available for you guys to play when our first ever campaign releases
You could've seen our campaign start positions map (if not, it's here) and all the factions planned at this stage of development.
You could notice that there are five extra factions in Eriador and most likely you couldn't guess even a hal... -

Development Log - September 2020
Aaaaand we're back with another log!
Note: All names mentioned in this article refer to the names of people on Rise of Mordor's official Discord server.
Welcome to our development log for September 2020 I've got some lovely things to share with you all in this one, so I hope you all like what you see! P.S. Apologies for the lateness!
Modelling
Unfortunately, September wasn't a month with tons of new models. However! September was the month of the troll, with a full armour-set being designed and completed by the wonderful Aldur, as well a start being made on a troll's hammer, also by Aldur. Today you will see the hammer at its current stage, but, as I've said previously, we have other plans for the previews of our troll. In the meantime, here's a co... -

After a long while of no development logs, I'm please to welcome you to that of August 2020! Although this log is titled as 'August', it does in fact contain a summary of development between this log and the last (which was way back in February!). Not all development that has been shared on our Discord server within this period will make it into this log, and anything within this log is all content NOT already in version 3.2.5. I repeat - it is a summary

Although there has been a vast window between this log and the last, most of our development has surrounded trolls, their armour assets and ...
