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 2.00 ALPHA of the RC Mod! You are advised to uninstall ANY previous versions of the RC Mod BEFORE Installing this one! This version is a Work in progress version, so minor bugs and other things can be expected.

Torrents are often associated with pirated games though :P

The team may not want that kind of association. Just saying that's how many people look at it, but everyone's got an opinion.

Do you mean the launcher or the main menu of the actual game? If it does not work... Go to the install folder and press the RCMod - Singleplayer.exe. Thats if the launcher is not working correctly...

I started playing n works fine like the new units but the new optional camera mode is very annoying, but the only and biggest problem is as soon as an enemy walks into my base all my buildings explode and i lose the game?. any suggestions?

"Most likely your game also does this in BFME 2...
-If it does not:
--find the support folder in the RC Mod folder and run the RCModRegistrator.exe.
--Copy the game2.dat from your BFME 2 game to the RC Mod install directory.
--If this does not work reenter the correct serial using the "The Battle for Middle-earth II - RC Mod_code.exe"
--If this does not work, Post in detail what you did so we can resolve this.

-If it does,
--Reinstall BFME 2 and make sure you enter the correct serial, and that it does not do this in BFME 2, when it works proceed with the steps mentioned above. "

""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!"

See if this might be the reason? Or when does the not responding appear?

Check for Game2.dat in the install location.
And in your application data copy the Options.ini from the My Battle for middle earth 2 files to the My Battle for Middle-earth™ II - RC Mod Files folder.

Do I need RotWK to install this mod and get Noldor Elves?

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote
Ridder-Geel Author
Ridder-Geel - - 979 comments

You do not need RotWK, this is why we have a "singleplayer" mode, this allows you to play without RotWK. The current version of the singleplayer is known to be identified as a "virus" on some computers (which is obviously is not), hopefully the new version will not have this problem. Also i'm not sure if the Noldor Elves are in the Alpha Release.

So many problems with this release it's just not worth the hassle for me. I appreciate the time spent making this mod, but effort needed to get the thing running without A) crashing on splash screen B) being defeated as soon as the enemy enter your base, just isn't worth the time. Compared to other mods which can be installed and played without the need to reinstall the base game and with no hassle, the RC mod is not user friendly at all. The new camera system is also extremely cumbersome too, better to just have a fixed view of between 400 - 500. Unistalling and rating down due to the hassle it takes to get the thing running.

I'm making a small little program that should fix all that stupid stuff... Should have it done in less than a week, perhaps that might make you happier...
And it's an alpha version for a reason... although I'll admit i did not expect this many people to have problems with installation... Seems that Desura really messed things up for us there, and for some reason the installer does not do what it should do all the time >_<

Hi RG, thanks for the PMs linking to the installation fix. That seemed to work ok. Got in game alright and started playing, still not a big fan of the camera location and the camera controls but other than that I really liked the look of it. That was until I experienced the CTD after a few minutes of playing. I guess I'll wait until you've finished the 'small little program' you mention above to see if that fixes it.

CTD? what is that? The death after 3 minutes?
If so, make sure you ran the fix as an administrator, it might be that the registry did not get copied correctly :P
