Rotwk 2.02 Unofficial Patch file - Battle for Middle-earth II: Rise of the Witch King

Readme File:
1 - Fully automated installer. It de-installs previous versions, installs the new one and has an activate/de-activate option in the start menu to restore to regular 1.06 mode when you feel like it, all without ever requiring you to mess with files.

2 - Updated English tooltips (strings) file by Rainmaker. Installed optionally after the main Bt2DC install, only for English language installs.

3 - A full new 1v1 tournament-style map following the molds of Fords of Isen II but with a twist - Ankh Morpork. By YidArmy1885, balance and flow re-design by MaDDoX.

Buckland also got some nice changes that should please the tower haters. Not to mention the usual balance improvements and bugfixes extravaganza that you've come to expect from every Battletest release.
