Requirements:

1. Age of the Ring 8.2.

Installation:

1. Go to where you installed Age of the Ring and make a copy of the AOTR 8.0 folder (it usually is located inside "C:\Program Files (x86)\".
2. Rename "AOTR 8.0 Copy" to "Realms in Exile 0.4".
3. Extract "Realms in Exile 0.4.zip". There will be several folders and files inside of it. Copy all of those files and folders and paste them inside the folder that you copied and renamed "C:\Program Files (x86)\Realms in Exile 0.4\aotr\".
   

   Make sure you place the folders and files inside the aotr subfolder.

4. Make a copy of your "Age of the Ring 8.0" shortcut on your desktop. Rename it to "Realms in Exile 0.4". Right-click it and click on properties. On "Target" it will point to the directory of the mod. Something like this:
   
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\Program Files (x86)\AOTR8.0\aotr"
   
   Change to this:
   
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\Program Files (x86)\Realms in Exile 0.4\aotr"
   
   
5. Play.

Known issues:

1. If you are playing in multiplayer and an ally of yours has chosen the same faction as you but a different sub-faction, if he quits you will inherit all of his structures, units and upgrades. This will mess up your game because when you inherit all upgrades you inherit one upgrade that the mod uses to differentiate the subfactions. If someone is leaving, ask him to destroy all his buildings instead, this way he will die and you will not inherit anything.
2. Fortress maps were not tested so they will likely be buggy. If you play on any of them and find anything send a bug report to our official discord:
   Discord.gg
