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.

If I remember, then yes, of course! Maybe not for the next release, but certainly in the future!

Judging by factions, I hardly can tell what time period you choose.
Already no Arnor - after T.A.1974. Still Moria - before T.A.1980. More than that - there is still Angmar meaning it's before T.A.1975. So does mod settled between t.a.1974 and 75? If so then it's pretty strange, because Dol-Guldur wasn't active at this time and Lothlorien alike.

Correction - Arnor will be in a later release, just not the first. And Lorien was certainly active at that time, as was Dol Guldûr. So I'd better add that to the description :p

By not active i meant that Dol-Guldur still gather strength and Loriet didn't participate in any conflict at this time. Yes, add a bit more info, or peoples like me will be very annoying)
