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 expansion, which focuses on bringing to life as much of the Elven world from Tolkien’s epic as possible.

Description

This is Version 1.07 of the RC Mod! You are advised to uninstall ANY previous versions of the RC Mod BEFORE Installing this one!

Does this require the expansion?

No it does not require the expansion, you can run singleplayer without it. For multiplayer you need either the RC Mod CD or the ROTWK cd ;)

It is partially ROTWK mod, but we dont like the angmar faction EA made, so its not in there. Perhaps in the future we may make an Angmar factions, but we do not know if we will do this.

You only need to install V1.07 to be able to play the mod, the "Main" installer and such is not longer needed...
So... The installers do not work correctly?
Happy New Year to you too ;)

When does this happen? With the installer?
Or does it happen when running the game?

Its possible you are encountering a nasty bug we have not been able to fix... Describe what you are doing when it crashes, so we can determine what the problem might possibly be.

I can't play the campain, when I select the difficulty level it switches back to main menu.
I also don't have all faction, I only have Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, Isenguard and Harad.

Go to microsoft.com or something like that and find the .NET framework 3.0 or later version.

You have BFME 2 installed correctly?
Perhaps running the updater should fix this, depends on if there are any .BIG files in your install location (of the RC Mod)

Does this mod require ROTWK?

Only to play multiplayer, though you can mount the RC Mod cd for this too, for the rest you can just play it with only BFME 2.

"Make an options.ini in the newly created "My Battle for Middle-earth™ II - RC Mod Files" folder. "
"Indeed that should fix it, if not check for the game2.dat in your RC Mod directory.
The folder Kwen is talking about is found in the application data, roaming, folder on your windows drive. (type p;pdata% in your address bar to go there"

This should be enough information for you to try to fix it :P
If it still does not work, let me know!
