The Wars of Arda is a (very) large expansion mod for the EA Games title "The Lord of the Rings: The Rise of the Witchking". We will first be heavily reworking the existing factions (adding Rohan and Harad and merging the Goblins into Isengard) and implementing a "minifaction" system where you begin a skirmish map with a "Core Faction" which contains a variety of units and heroes, and you purchase "Mini Factions" as the match prgresses, giving you access to new units and heroes.
The Mod will also be implementing several "Eras" into the mod. This will NOT be an Empire Earth style system where you upgrade from one era to another, but a system where each era is a seperate set of skirmish factions and campaign missions (however all factions will be able to play against each other). The eras of the mod will be as follows.
The War of the Jewels
The Last Alliance
The Rise of the Witchking
The Wainriders Invasion
The Quest of Erebor
The War of the Ring
The New shadow
Each era will consist of between 2 and 7 factions, each with between 3 and 5 "mini factions".
-------
The demo is available in the download section now.
-------
The mod also has a new feature called "Be-A-Hero". Wherever possible we are adhering to a mix of the LoTR movies and the works of tolkien, but in many cases there are not enough characters to adaquetely fill the required numbers of Heroes for each faction (10-15 heroes per faction), so we are allowing people to submit designs for their own personal Avatar to appear in the mod. This can be voiced by you and you can even appear on the skin/unit portrait.
Examples of current heroes are Calintz of Rhun, and the black Numenorean General Eraus, commander of the defence of Barad Dur against the Last Alliance (mod team get the most impressive characters!).
I cannot guarantee youll get the character you want (were FULLY stocked with Elves already im afraid) but within reason I will try and include your character, until all the spaces for new Avatars are full.

I would love to vote for this mod but it hasn't been updated in 10 months. :/
Can I download the full version?
No, not yet. There will be another release according to the staff forums, the mod isn't dead, but it isn't ready for release quite yet :)
MOd isn't dead, trying to pull together an update
I downloaded this mod, but i uninstalled it as it is not compatible with the RJ-ROTWK mod. Also, I will install this mod again IF it is improved and made better quality. :)
To fix this problem, copy your Rise of the Witchking folder to somewhere else and install Wars of Arda to that copy of the game, that way you can have both mods installed at the same time (:
PRoabbly dead =/
Is this mod compatible with the RJ-ROTWK mod? :)
DEAD??
When you relase the next version of the game?
