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!

Hey guys, I know it's been ages. I've been considering releasing the mod soon, it's really quite buggy, but I thought people would want the chance to play it, help by reporting bugs, comment, and, above all, enjoy it - so, please let me know if you're still interested, and I promise it'll be out quite soon.

I'm not sure if you have already fixed it, but one of the defensive plots on the Lindon fortress is wrong placed. If I can remember well, it's the one on the right side of the fortress if you are facing it's gate.
Also could you fix the custom colors for the CaH?

I know about the Lindon fortress plot, but thanks for the reminder :)

About the CAH. What's wrong with the custom colours? I'm away from my computer at the moment.
Thanks a lot.

If you try to change the colour of the Hero's clothes/armour nothing will happen. I remember that the Noldor's armour colour couldn't be changed, and also if you had a hero with custom colours from the standard RoTWK it will only show the standard colours too.

That's probably because house colour is turned off, so that all units use their default skins... But I'll see if I can fix it anyway...
