Wars of the Firstborn based on The Ridder Clan Mod for Battle for Middle-earth II: Rise of the Witch King
"Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo"
Wars of the Firstborn is a modification based on the discontinued Ridder Clan Mod for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II and for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II - The Rise of the Witch-King, which focuses on bringing to life as much of the Elven world from Tolkien’s epic as possible.

Hello followers,
Since the decision of going into a different direction with RC MOD, into an elven-centered mod with WOTF, it was pretty clear to me that some thing need to be updated. The mod was always a platform for me to learn new things and continuously improve my skills.
Looking back, the current models of the mod were pretty old and they did contain some issues that I could not get over (even in comparison to the High-elven units) so I took the decision of updating them. The road was long and covered many techniques, which I would probably showcase in another article, but looking at the end result I am pretty proud of what was achieved.
The new Heavy Armor
The armor is a low-version of a personal project I started last year but finished recently.For obvious reasons, that level of detail could not be imported into the SAGE engine (or could have but crashed your game after summoning 2 hordes) so a lot of downgrades had to be done and some more adjustments.
However I will not exclude the possibility this model will feature it certain places related to the mod.
The changes have been made for all current heavy armor units.
The Wardens
The Archers
The Warriors
Probably some of you have notices they still use the old head variations. No worries, new models are already in the works and the units will be updated as soon as they are done.
Probably my favorite part of their gear, the capes!
More images of them in battle
We already planned to upgrade the medium and light versions of the units as well, so stay tuned for when that might come. Until then, enjoy this update.
I hope you enjoy this sneak-peek into our new faction. This is all for now but more news about Mirkwood will come in the coming weeks. You can share your thoughts in our discord channel you can find the link on the main moddb page or at the bottom of this article. Also, we share there bonus stuff in the #sneak-peek channel for the very curious ones.
Sincerely,
NewErr and the Wars of the Firstborn team

Highest Rated (12 agree) 10/10
After Geel contacted me and provided the fix I gave the mod another chance. At it's current state the mod is doing good. There are some maps that do not support BFME1 and/or 2 mode so they end instantly and few other things that need to be tweaked.
All together, I have decided to give this mod a 10 only because the mod creator is personally taking his time to get the mod working for individuals and I honestly do believe that after few fixes it will be a mod worth playing.

will other factions dwarf isengard etc. get new units and heroes
They will sparely receive new content, however the elven factions will have the main focus. The dwarves might get more stuff but no promises.
when it will be issued?
We cannot say for sure at this time. Many things still need to be made.
Is Arnor and Angmar a playable Faction in these mod ?
Nope.
it's looking great, good on you to keep the mod alive
do you have to go through the highest level in the fort to make units walk the wall? if so it is a cool design, also I think the citadel at the back is a disadvantage if it can be sieged from the back, otherwise it is really good if all the attacks need to be frontal.
The High-elven castle can be breached only from the front (unless you somehow get access on the wall) and yes units can get on the wall only by going trough the last level. :P
well that is a very cool idea mate, I thought the citadel could be sieged with catapults from the back maybe :p, really really good, also does that mean that trolls and other heavy units could walk on the wall? as the elevator is what restricts their passage
Excellent question, haven't tested but I believe they can.
