We are back!
Long time no see everyone. First, I should say I apologize for the long hiatus. It has been 3 years since the last update and 3 years since I basically dropped off the face of the planet. During that time I figured out that college is a lot harder than I originally thought. However, that said, I decided 6 months ago to take a year off. Now that I have settled into a pattern for work and I know more so what my schedule is like, I have more time to dedicate to modding again. That said, a week ago I started modding again.
What's New?
ROTWK 2.02
Well, I am a little bit rusty, but I already have a plan in place. The current state of the modification is poor what with the patch changes and the difference in the community compared to a few years ago. That said, the first big change is essentially to scrap everything that was released 3 years ago and move the entire mod from being stand alone to being a ROTWK 2.02 Modification. This was not an easy task. However, it has already been done and it has a modular design so that when new patches come out it will be easy to upgrade the mod.
Arnor | Rohan
The modifications main goal remains the same, to complete Rohan and Arnor the way EA intended them to be completed. Rohan has already been readded to the game, with some needed bug fixes from the first release. Arnor is currently in the works, one building is already complete and you should see an update within a week for more details on that.
EA Style
I know it sounds lame, but remember, this modifications goal is to complete what EA didn't in ROTWK. That said, we are sticking true to this style and we are currently working incredibly hard to make the Arnor Building style be unique but also nostalgic.
Lastly, I would like to say that it is not just "I" anymore, however, it is "we" because at the beginning of this past week I reached out to some fellow mod creators and I have put a small team together to keep the motivation alive and kicking. We look forward to sharing with you what we have been working on. Thank you for the comments and reviews over the past 3 years and the few private messages I have gotten. They were not in vain and we look forward to keeping you updated and or seeing you in our discord.
Thank you,

I, personally, think that this is a very good idea. You don't seem to be trying to copy any other mod, you are simply trying to "EXPAND" BFME ROTWK so that it is the complete experience that you, personally, believe EA would have made. So I say, "Good for you, and keep up the good work!"
Thank you for understanding! Hopefully others shall take it this way to
Yeah, so nothing new for this game ? Arnor and Rohan are still present in other mods which add many things more. If you want to do something, add something more interesting that the same factions as BFME 1 or Reskin gondor's faction to transmute it to an Aror Faction. Be Original
I am original, if it wasn't original moddb would not of approved it. My goal is to add it using all EAs existing models and skins and to incorporate things as ea would have. Plus the extra thing I'm doing is both Rohan and arnor ais as closely as I can to reflect EAs beliefs. Also I'll be incorporating many balancing changes to make the entire game better and to work with the new factions flawlessly. Also last I checked no other mod is stand alone except the RC mod
So, by original, i was thinking about new units, new maps, more contents. What i want to say, is that you should create new staff, because all of what you're making, is present in many other mods ;). There is a lot of modificication of this game, so create a mod which detached hisself from the others :)
I am. I am a veteran I would like to say of this modding community and have been around for years but under a different name. what I am doing is NOT including these new enhanced graphics because in all honesty eventually those mods die off and thus never have a release (E.G: Edain mod hasn't had a release in 2 years and only now is getting an alpha preview of what they have been doing) I don't want to have to depend on skinners and modelers to stick around through the entire mod. I just want to get it complete. I don't need that fancy stuff. Does that make more sense to you?
where is Hama? plzz add the 2 Guards of Theoden as heroes and add the legendary super hero Theodred son of theoden. This is not only lord of the rings game this is the whole Battle For Middle Earth game respect it!
Calm down dude, this is not a complete adaptation of tolkien's book ^^
Sticking to EAs vision. Gamling has been added. But that's it
Looks intresting
You added the Rohan faction
well Good Luck to you
