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.
WARNING!!! Due to some Dropbox policies changes the launcher cannot download the files for the mod with this version. Instead go for V3.01 Full Installer!!! Sorry for the inconvenience. This is the latest installer for The Ridder Clan Mod. The Installer is as simple as it can be, change the installation path to where you want the mod to be installed, and press install, the installer will take care of the rest! It downloads the required files for the mod to update itself to the latest version, and creates the foundation for the mod to be installed on. If you encounter any problems feel free to contact us on Revora or here on ModDB! (Updated, no longer requires DLL's and also works on Windows XP)

well the mod is up to date and when I click on Launch Game from the launcher, nothing happens
Hello, About your problem,try running the V2.00 Fix from our download section and then try copying game2.dat from the original BFME2 game into your game mod folder. Alos running the exe as Administrator.
If you have further issues please let me know.
I did what you said, and still the same problem
Make sure you copy the game2.dat from your bfme 2 game in the game folder of the mod :)
I did exactly that
Maybe I installed it in the wrong place?
Well you can install it anywhere except the game's folder. Maybe try a mod reinstall?
I installed the alpha version, but why doesn't the mod support costum maps?
Because of the voting system... Wait.. you talking about v2.00?
That's the one I installed
I'm not aware of any issue causing custom maps not being playable in V2.00.
When I load a costum map, while in BFME 1 mode it insta-defeats either me or AI
Well.. it's only logical.
It also crashes too often
Yes we are aware of that, that's why we don't recommend that version.
I got 3.00 working, but there's nothing coming up on the main screen, just the shellmap.
Olala ._. I haven't heard of this issue before...
The issue is, there are no options like soloplay or option or anything like that.
And when is the 3.02 version coming out?
It's... already out?
Updated, and it's the same problem
Does it show bersion v3.02?
dont think so
Then it's not updated corectly to the last version, please make sure the launcher is closed when updating.
Also restard the launcher several times (if you haven't tried this already). Sometimes the launcher might get stuck.
Sorry for causing so many problems for you.
I installed the mod correctly( i think), but when I try to launch the mod, an error report pops up. Any advice would be awesome:)
What error pops up?
Is Rohan playable ? Or it's just me who misses something ?
And also th e mod wont starting for me, installed with the lastest updater, updated it also, but when I click launch game nothing happens. I have the RoTWK disc in, but its just showing rhe mods picture than nothing happens.
When I tried to play i, it says i need CD Roms even tho I have the CD images mounted.
Nvm, I thought it was for Battle for Middle earth 2 and not ROTWk which I have Edain Mod.
IT works with BFME 2 also
another games will not be affected?
Nope. This is a standalone expansion.
So i`ve downloaded the installer but if i click install nothing happens?????
Pls help
