In the Age of the Firstborn modification, we take the game back to the middle of the Third Age, and set "The Rise of the Witch-King" in a more suitable timeframe. The factions featured in this mod will also have to change due to this change in setting. Fighting for the forces of light in the first release, there will be Lindon, Lothlorien, Gondor, and Khazad-Dûm. The armies of the forces of darkness will be composed of Dol Guldur, Angmar, Umbar, and Wilderland. In the future, we aim to bring the faction of Arnor to you, too. The mod will introduce many new buildings, units, powers and heroes to the game, and turn it into a faster and more exciting experience than ever before!

Mod Music in Age of the Firstborn, a mod for EA Games' "The Lord of the Rings, the Battle for Middle-Earth II, the Rise of the Witch-King"

Posted by on

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that Markus Auf der Schatten will be providing music for this mod.

He has been working to carefully replicate Howard Shore's style from The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, to ensure that his tracks will blend in seamlessly with the music that is in the vanilla version of the game.

Here's his first track, "AotF: the Firstborn Stands"

Awesome! The track is really good, it reminds me of other games like cossacks, american conquest and age of empires 2. It is indeed a very good track. :D
One other thing, are you guys going to make the voices of Arnor? I think that Arnor should have different voices from Gondor.
P.S: I didnt downloaded the mod yet. :P

I hadn't really thought about making new voices before. Yes, I'll definitely think about it.
