Hi!
Time for The Two Towers! And Isengard 2.0! And Misty Mountains 3.0! And a whole lot more!
For a full list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELIST.
HOW TO INSTALL
First, make sure your RotWK is patched to 2.02 v8.0.1. Make sure that Edain, if installed, is disabled.
1. Download and unzip the contents of AotR7.0.zip into a folder
2. Run AgeOfTheRingInstaller7.0.exe as Administrator
3. The installer creates a shortcut to Age of the Ring 7.0 on your desktop
********** PLEASE READ BELOW **********
- This is a full version. You don't need to have previous mod versions installed
- You can uninstall previous versions if you want to.
- The installer WILL NOT allow you to install the mod into your RotWK or BFME2 installation folder (this would BREAK your game)
- The installer WILL NOT allow you to install if you do not have RotWK patch 2.02 v8.01 enabled. You can enable this from the 2.02 Launcher.
- If you do not have 2.02 v8.01, you can get it HERE. Simply follow Step 1 and Step 2, and then use the 2.02 Launcher to set your version to 2.02 v8.01.
- If you do not want to play through Fellowship of the Ring again, you can use this Amon Hen mission autosave HERE.
PLAYING ONLINE
For using T3A:Online, nothing has changed - just make sure RotWK is hooked from the T3A:Online Launcher.

Congratulations to the release of version 7.0!
Thank you for the good work !!!
Oh you guys.... thank you for such admirable work!! long live aotr
Yep, it's viking time
I've recently gotten a bit lost in terms of what to do in my spare time. No game really seemed quite right to fill it. Lo and behold! This new version has come precisely at the right time. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the new campaign. :D
You absolute legends of middle earth, thank you
I just finished the campaign. Congratulations, you outdid yourselves. It was engaging yet not impossible, and the level of detail was breathtaking. It was also nice to see how you adapted some of the more complicated chapters for an RTS like the second level. I was just a little disappointed that we did not get the Voice of Saruman in the end, but there is always hope for that in a RotK campaign!
That's amazing to hear! We're really glad that you had a good time
hello guys, why doesn't winrar extract the file?
it is damaged?
A magnificent job !!!
Creator please answer: will reworkers from other factions come in future releases?
Lothlorien will be revamped in 8.0, but other factions are now essentially complete.
I'm sorry to ask here, but couldn't find it anywhere else. Do you plan on adding another factions (like Angmar, Arnor or Rhun)?
Will Hall's Guards be the standard elite pike unit for Woodland Realm? Because I was thinking on use the lore standard units as the game's standard units, I mean, the Greenwood Pikemen Feren spawns with his ability would become available in Royal Barracks while Hall's Guards could be a special ability of Thranduil but permanently summoned
thanks, thank you very much
Amazing job, mates! God bless you for that! Only bug I could found ftm is that I cannot use Custom Captains with certain factions. Could you look up for it please? Keep it up!
Rohan, Rivendell, Dol Guldur and Woodland Realm can use custom heroes. In the skirmish menu, open the custom heroes menu and type the first letter of your hero's name. You can then recruit them when you start the game.
Hey, somewhere I heard that in RTS the AI usually gets a bigger income rate per minute than a Human Player, so how much is the difference of resources I and the AI get if we have exactly the same number of buildings?
Depends on the AI's faction and difficulty.
where can i play the two towers campaign exactly?
There's a button for the Lord of the Rings Campaign in the main menu. You'll either need to complete the Fellowship of the Ring campaign missions of this campaign to start the Two Towers or you can start from Amon Hen using the save file we provide in our Addons section.
A little cuestion: In besiege maps, the AI defends all the Helm's Deep fortress, setting archers in the Deepeng Wall, but if I defend the same map, will the AI also attack the Deeping Wall or it'll just attack the Main Gate?
Can I uninstall old versions of AOTR (for example 6.0) when i have installed the newest version? (7.1)
Please read the description of this file. It's all in there.
Tbh i have been playing Edain for years and until now i decided to give AOTR a chance and.... oh my sweet Lord i got much more than that, the campaign is awesome, so much lore (saving Boromir is a nice touch btw) and lots of scenarios, the AI is way harder than both vanilla and Edain! As a Tolkienite i take my wizard hat off to the creators of this masterpiece.Any chance to buy you guys a well deserved coffee?
The install is quite easy no prob here (still got Edain but i'm tempted to remove it since i'll be hooked up waiting for the ROTK update!!)
why no angmar side?
