The Battles of the Third Age (BOTTA) mod is a mod for The Battle for Middle Earth - The Rise of the Witch King. This mod tends to follow the lore of books and films along with bringing the realism in the gameplay, and generally concentrates of the happenings in the Third age of Middle Earth
Great mod.Now its starting to be better than edain.But it is hard to install so maybe make a installer in future.Shame 3.0 could be the last realease of this mod :(
Because this is just so fun to play!
Everyone is saying this is a 'good' mod until edain 4.0, but then you underrate this mod
I think this is the best ROTWK-mod so far!
I totally love the build system and all the new hobbit-skins, and think the upcoming version will make me lose my mind even more... Bye bye exams. Hello BOTFA
Epic mod ;)

Very good mod and quick done so we can play with it with a lot of improvement, using the movie characters and others.
Good job for the book and movie fan's ;)
Fantastic mod but crashes is a large issue
Well created and a lot of fun to play! Well done creator.
Battles of the Third Age is a great mod that is a big improvement of the original game. The mod aims to include elements of to movie adaptions of LOTR and the Hobbit, in which it succeeds. Especially Misty Mountains, Isengard and Gondor have been greatly improved. Furthermore, the creator of this mod is very open to suggestions and will help you with any installation problems or questions about the mod as good as possible. Finally, this mod is in English!! YES. For me it is very disturbing that voice-over of the Edainmod is in German, the whole experience of the books and films was in English and it thus feels very weird to listen to your favorite actors in German.
amazing! I rarely comment on moddb but this is way to epic to skip
Although I would wish for a gondor rohan split instead of the misty mountain
but still, wonderful job on this mod
I had some crashes here and there, heroes should be delayed a bit on their respawn
I ll be trying the war of the ring
please keep this alive!
This is a great mod and i would have played it even more if it hadn't been for the crashes. Also, i dislike how the dwarven faction still has no AI and that (maybe just cause i am dumb and don't know how) the Rohan citadel to Gondor can't be buildt, just like the Haradrim of Mordor. I would also love to see some special ring heroes, as well as a nerf to them (had 1 sauron from Angmar vs all the nazgul, citadel and an army of orcs. All destroyed with just taking half of Sauron's health
Edit: Just ignore everything above, as that was for versin 2 of this mod. It is now deserving of a higher rating that what i originally gave (8)
Giving you 9 was just not enough for one man work. I really like how every faction has been focused on its particular gamestyle. Most of all the heroes have been reworked in the best way by removing the stances (which should clearly apply to the units) and giving a 6-pack of abilities for most of them reinforces their role! At last, the factions preview you provided are the best guides out there so it would be nice to have some more for the other factions ^_^
