Since I'm not seeing an Easterling faction on the list, will you be including them with Mordor or with Haradwaith (making Haradwaith more of an "Evil Men" team than actual Harad)?
They'll be in Mordor
We swear allegiance to Sauron!
Also can we expect in Haradwaith anything "exotic" and maybe more of Umbar Black Numenoreans (since Angmar will not be featured and lore wise they lived in Umbar rather than Angmar) other than the standard Corsairs ? Of course we are standby for more of your anouncements
There will be some *very* exotic things coming in Haradwaith. Probably our strangest faction to come.
Sweet !!!
Awesome work! It would be so good if Erebor released in this year.
After those 2 nice screenshots, the big question is what happened to "FAQss1.jpg"
Was just the gondor farm with no guards in the front lol.
Hey i'm not sure if your looking but i would love to be a tester and my pc will play anything out to date like its bitch. and i have played every working mod for this game!. so if your willing i'd be happy to be a tester and keep you updated each day with my experiences of functionality ect ect.
I have a question regarding the misty mountains. Will they have siege trolls as seen in the movie (trolls with catapults on their back)? And also ogres?
can the ai use the ring?
Yes
My friend have a problem when we want to play on T3A his conenction just attempt but my another friend's connection is good please some help ?
Are you planning on releasing multiple factions at the same time for example do lothlorien and erebor in one update or are you going to do it one at a time?
I know you probably haven't started rohan yet, but when you eventually do Rohan, are you thinking of doing three hunters, if so would it be a power or would they be recruitable heroes, if you make them recruitable it may be an idea to make it kinda like orophin and rumil in the Edain mod, have one purchase, maybe make it 6000 resources and have all 3 as separate units with unique powers
i think its funny how you guys said u will release factions when you feel comfortable enough to make them public..... and yet people are still asking when they will be released,
DID U NOT PAY ATTENTION THEY SAID WHEN THEY ARE DONE WITH MAKING THE FACTION LOOK GOOD THEY'LL RELEASE THEM, IN THE MEANTIME YOU GUNNA HAVETA BE PATIENT AND WAIT LIKE THE REST OF US
your welcome AOTR team <3
lmao
I think Isengard and Mordor should not have the same ring hero
Hey guys,
Just wanted to say a huge thank-you for all the work you've put into this mod!
BFME has been a must-have installation on every PC I've owned since it came out, what 14 / 15 years ago? It's one of the few games I can never get bored of and will always keep coming back to. By sheer dumb luck I stumbled across your mod whilst browsing BFME 2 YouTube videos (I didn't even know there was a modding community for this game!) and decided to give it a go...
The thought and level of detail that has gone into everything so far is mind-blowing! It has that perfect combination of feeling like I'm playing a brand new game for the first time, yet still having the familiarity of BFME. The new units, buildings, formations, powers, etc and the level of detail gone into their design and appearance is amazing - having seen the FAQ's and the other factions you have planned as well, I literally cannot wait to see it all in action.
In short, this mod is epic! Keep up the amazing work - you guys are legends!
Thank you for the kind words, we're glad you enjoy the mod :D!
when the next one comes out mod , he does not have the dwarfs of erebor and he does not have the heroes legolas and his father legolas
Love the mod.
Great mod. Is it planned to update compatibility to be compatible with patch 1.09?
Why would we? This is a ROTWK mod.
Forgive my not knowing the specifics of these things (I only recently got the game for the exact reason of playing this mod). I am aware of certain updates in 1.09 such as the update to textures and new additions such as walls for Mordor, updates that I think would make fine additions to this mod. I was just curious if it was planned.
Based on your comment it seems that it is in fact not, sorry for not being aware. :(
General question here. What do people think about the red mountian (orocani) dwarves . Anyone think we'll see them in a mod one day?
Why did you made this mod be a mod for ROTWK and not for BFME2 when this mod has no Angmar faction? EA games put the Angmar faction on ROTWK and you make this mod for ROTWK not having this faction.
So we have an extra faction slot.
First, you guys made a good work for this mod, keep up the good work, and second, thanks for the ironic answer.
Sorry, you can ask a question, and when your mod will be available completely in Russian and whether it will be possible to download it simply and clearly, thanks in advance
Who would i PMS if I were to have a question?
or this is just ironic because i am commenting a question :l
I'm just curious... are the planned factions listed in the order they are going to be released? Or is the order they're going to be released in different from the order they're listed in? Or do you guys not know yet?
--
For example, are you releasing Rivendell after Erebor and Rohan last and Harad 2nd to last based on the order the factions are listed in? Again, just wondering if the order they're listed in matches the order they're being released in...
new question
Will the possibility be added in case of adding a mount to your character, to create a mound of horse with the same procedure as the heroes?
Oh i know you already got that asked many times, and we already know that Arnor and Angmar wont be in.
But do you consider your april prank fools models/textures to be shared ?
I wana know because maybe some people can make a submod ( if its possible and allowed) that includes Arnor and Angmar after the full release of the mod.
I know its your design choice, still it would make many people ( me included ) happy, as I for myself only want them for skirmish( were nothing is real canon ) and maybe ( if working) war of the ring mode.
Those models are quite unfinished, but if anyone wants to do an Arnor submod for AotR they can send me a message for them.
Hey guys!
i see 2 important problems with this mod until today:
1) When my enemy or ally is Misty Mountains, they can create big bats, but they never send them nothing to war, bats stays there always.
2) Once i saw one user that said about problems with load a game. Somethimes happened to me also, but it wasn't much, but today i play this mod again, and here see another problem related with this problem.
When my enemy makes Sauron, the music gets stuck, for many many time; i've tried to save game for load the same again and see what happen, but the game says "can not load this match" i tried twice and same again... so i don't know if the problem is because only with the music and only if i play with "Gondor", to load match. By last, i proved save in the same map, all same, but at the beggin, i load the match, and it was ok, so the problem is only when sauron appears and the music gets stuck.
This is only in my case? or will be resolved in the next upgrade?
Thanks for your reply ;)
amigos podrían hacer un mod en modo campaña
How far are you with erebor?
I have recently downloaded the age of the ring mode and all is well with it.When i switch to the normal rotwk 2.02 though the skirmish does not work - game crushes and there is a message saying "the handler couldn't be found"- Any idea nwhta the problem is?
Thanks for your time^
Hello, I have to thank you for your great work, this mod is amazing :)
I have one question though - is there some way to hide/disable the 4 "camera angle" abilities that are available from the start? I understand it is great for taking screens and showcasing units in videos but if you don't plan to do that and just play, they sort of get in way :/
No, afraid not. Unless you want to go into each map and remove the camera scripts.
Whenever i launch the campaign everything is pink....... and i cant see the characters but i can see the health bars. Got any suggestions?

hi thanks for working in this mode .... i would like to ask if you sometimes add more fractions, normal dwarfs, angmar and more and or new heroes for example Elegost,hadhod.... these questions are to the future ... thank you once again for your work :) amazing mod
I've just found this modd and I LOVE IT.
after all is done will you add arnor as a reskin or something for gondor possibly? im only asking that the anoriens will be reskinned as an option somehow
No.
Can we add playable characters throughout the Hobbit films that are missing. Perhaps Bert the Troll and Gollum as a Ring Hero or playable character. Could make it really interesting for him similar to BFME1.
Are the factions going to be added in the same order that they are listed above? Because I'd love to see Rohan :D
Regarding the resources for each faction because the Armies are getting larger to the original game. I have noticed the resources stay the same and it’s taking forever to Upgrade all of my units especially Misty Mountains. Could we get an update for faster resources?? As at this point it takes me 2 hours to have a decent battle against 2 enemies. I keep choosing goblins as they are cheap but even then they cost so much to upgrade. Also Drums in the deep should have all Goblins releases from fortress with armour instead I have to upgrade them too.
i found building a armory first vs the factions 300 cost building ( cave, malorn tree, farm, slaughterhouse, etc...) easy cuz then it upgrades quicker..... as for goblins, the drums in the deep spawns 5 battalions of units WITH heavy armor ALREADY on them....... just haveta get banner carriers and forged blades...... i will admit some things take awhile, like a fully upgraded army of gundabad orcs, in the misty mountains case...... but that is supposed to be for end game content not within the first 15 minutes of a map....... also clear out ALL of the lair camps (goblins, trolls, wargs, drakes, wights, whatever) to get some extra money early on as well as leveling up heros, makes things run even smoother, as well as with gobins going for the scavenge power early game...........
hope this helps
dont really need to get faster resources once you understand the flow of it
u can download the BFME ROTWK Trainer from google :D
