I'm trying to run but it keeps giving me an error along the lines of "Expected signed integer value, math op, or predefined macro, but found 'MEN_FORTRESS_NUMENORIAN_STONEWORK_BUILDCOST" among other error messeges, can i get some help?
I can’t seem to successfully download the setup. It will come out as the file name the it has a [1] at the end, I put it into winRAR but it dosent unpack.....am I doing something wrong? Why dosent it download to a exe file? I’m usibg internet explorer, and not chrome if that makes a difference.
That's confusing. It's an .exe file, I don't know why it wouldn't download it right for you. Delete older attempts and download it again. Don't put it into WinRAR - it's an .exe file, you should be able to just run it.
When it’s finished downloading the file is called “AgeOfTheRing_Setup3.0[1]” and my computer can’t open the file for some reason. Is there another site I can download it from?
Amazing and magic Lotholorien faction...and finally the dragon for the dwarfs...best mod of ever...only a problem: the wheels of dwarf's catapult are stopped when it moving...how fix it??
OOOOOOF
OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY
Starts packing up at work

Thank you very much for the hard work!
In case you fix War of the ring mode in next update, will you change some maps for custom maps you have in mode?
Yep
can you replace the redhorn pass map with a khazad dum map? Would make things more interesting i think.

Hi, do I need to uninstall the old version to install this update?
Yes.
looool ive just donwloaded the 2.0 last two days and now this
sure thing that luck is by my side
Its out yes yes ty so much for the New version :)
You know how to change the resolution on 3840x2160 ??????
You should check this guide out. You just need to find options.ini and you can edit the game's settings from there. Forums.revora.net
I think that the 2.02 patch switcher also allows you to change the game to common resolutions too.
When I try to pick Erebor in skirmish game crashes? help please.
awesome mod tbh!
Is there any way this download will work on a microsoft surface? Specifically a pro 3? Thx
You can always try?

When I try to start the mod I get a game crash message that reads
"Expected signed integer value, math op, or predefined macro, but found 'DWARVEN_BATTLEWAGON_UPGRADE_COST'
Error parsing field 'BuildCost' in block 'Upgrade' in file 'Data\INI\Upgrade.ini', line 3648.
And then there's a bunch of other weird lines in the message that I can't quite understand. Can anybody help resolve this issue?
i'm getting the same issue
Make sure BFME2 is on patch 1.06, RotWK is on 2.02, and all other mods (that install in the game's directory) are disabled or removed.
Every game is Out of Sync to these guys in multiplayer.Why?
We're trying to find out.
Baruk Khazâd!
