READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! AotR 5.1 is a bugfix and balance patch for AotR 5.0.
Hi!
Time for bugfixes and balance changes!
![Age of the Ring Version 5.1]()
For a full list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELIST.
HOW TO INSTALL
First, make sure your RotWK is patched to 2.02 v8.0.1. Make sure that Edain, if installed, is disabled.
- Download AotR_Version_5.1.rar
- Unzip both of the files in AotR_Version_5.1.rar to the same location (if you can't open the file, download Winrar or 7zip)
- Run installer.exe (if it doesn't work, please run it as Administrator) Make sure not to install over a previous version. Always install to a new location.
- The installer creates a shortcut to Age of the Ring 5.1 on your desktop
PLAYING ONLINE
For using T3A:Online, nothing has changed - just make sure RotWK is hooked from the T3A:Online Launcher.
For using Gameranger, the process has been simplified:
- Open Gameranger
- Go to Edit > Options...
- Find and select Rise of the Witch-king
- Under Location, select Browse
- Browse to your Age of the Ring 5.1 installation folder and select lotrbfme2ep1.exe, then click Open.
To play normal RotWK, reverse this process by selecting lotrbfme2ep1 from RotWK's installation folder.
********** PLEASE READ BELOW **********
- This is a full version. You don't need to have previous mod versions installed.
- You don't have to uninstall previous versions, but you might as well to save space.
- AotR 5.0 does NOT yet support 2.02 v8.2.0. To play Age of the Ring, either don't update to the latest 2.02 version or use the 2.02 launcher to set your Rise of the Witch-king to v8.0.1.
- You don't have to uninstall previous versions, but you might as well to save space. To uninstall Age of the Ring 5.0, simply delete the Age of the Ring 5.0 folder and shortcut. However, make sure not to install over a previous version. Always install to a new location.

If you are experiencing issues with the installer, it is possible to manually install Age of the Ring 5.1.
1. Create a folder named Age of the Ring 5.1 in an installation location of your choice (e.g C:/Program Files/Age of the Ring 5.1).
2. Open the aotr.zip included in the downloaded AotR_Version_5.1.rar and extract all of its contents into the folder you have created.
3. Create a shortcut from the lotrbfme2ep1.exe file in your vanilla RotWK folder
4. Go into the shortcut's properties and edit the Target box so that at the end of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" there is -mod "location of your aotr folder inside Age of the Ring 5.1"
e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\Program Files\Age of the Ring 5.1\aotr"
5. Click apply and close the shortcut's properties. You can now launch Age of the Ring 5.1 from that shortcut
Is this possible with 5.0?
yes

Hey AotR team! Iβm playing your mod at the moment and thought to ask: what was your decision to make base faction heroes cost no command points compared to the vanilla game? Just asking out of curiosity!
Wow Amazing. Thank you.
thank you for all the hard work, really appreciate it.

Hi guys. Did you make some changes to Rohan AI? I had written it after v5.0 release. Rohan AI was weak compare to other factions. I hope you made rohan AI stronger.
No AI changes in 5.1. However, we have recently been lucky enough to get someone on the team dedicated to AI improvement. So hopefully 6.0 will have a much better AI.
It is nice to hear that, thank you!
Whe i run the installer.exe a window pops up saying "could not detect Rise of the Witch king. The installation will proceed but you may be unable to launch the game" what now
Really good and fun game love BFME games and youve done an awesome job on these. I just installed and played 2 matches of the new siege modes Minas Tirith both times have crashed game starts good regular speed then slows as i keep playing then crashes after 15ish minutes. Keep up the great work! looking forward to v6.0
It because of Shadow. Play on lower shadows. ( Shadows makes life hard in rotwk)

It is works. Wait a little longer when black screen opens.
Noticed that Rohan, Rivendell and Dol Guldur factions can't pick up custom heroes at all. Btw thank you for Easterling army - the Age of Men is not over.
Dol Guldur, Rohan and Rivendell can use custom heroes. In the skirmish menu, open the custom heroes menu and type the first letter of your hero's name. You can then recruit them when you start the game.
And it works, thank you again.

Hi, I have found 1 **** problem when I play war of the ring with Isengard.
Uruk-hai Man-Slayers are -missing- from Uruk pit- in War of the Ring mode, it is a massive cripple for Isengard.
While for example in Dol-Guldur same type of unit it means maximum 3 heroic unit can be build Armored Castellan, but no Uruk-hai Man slayers for Isengard...
Also if i take Ring from Golum I cant build Ring Hero in fortress, same on world map Necromacer is gray all the time, but here meybe Im wrong about that, didnt look that much in to it.

Hey guys,
Completely new to playing the game with mods. I successfully installed the mod and everything works, however I have a question: how can I make the camera zoom farther out? This is something that bothered me in the normal versions also.
I know that the zoom is usually set per map right?
Is there anything I can do to zoom it out?
Thank you.
