Movie Sauron
This mod reworks Sauron into a true endgame threat for Dawnless Days, inspired by his towering appearance in the films and adapted to Total War mechanics.
Sauron has been converted into a single-entity unit, massively taller than standard infantry and immediately recognizable on the battlefield. To achieve the correct weight, impact, and combat feel, he uses cave troll stats and animations, allowing him to smash through formations, send enemies flying, and survive prolonged engagements against elite units.
This gives Sauron the presence of a walking siege engine rather than a conventional general. His height, mass, and animations create cinematic moments during large-scale battles while still functioning within the engine’s limitations.
Features
Sauron rebuilt as a single-entity general
Increased model height to match movie-inspired scale
Cave troll stats for extreme health, damage, and mass
Cave troll animations for heavy, sweeping attacks
Fully integrated into Dawnless Days
Designed for large armies and epic late-game battles
Notes
This mod is intended to enhance cinematic gameplay rather than strict balance
Best experienced in large battles where unit scale and animations can shine
Compatible with most submods unless they alter Sauron’s unit or skeleton
If you want the Dark Lord to feel like a mythic force of destruction instead of a standard general, this mod delivers exactly that.
