Lord of the Rings Mod

"One by one the free lands of Middle-earth fell to the power of the ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-earth. Victory was near but the power of the ring could not be undone. It was in this moment when all hope had faded that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword... Sauron, the enemy of the free peoples of Middle-earth was defeated."

This mod aims at recreating J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings within the bounds of Hearts of Iron IV, as well as providing plenty of alternate possibilites to bend the narrative to player's will. If you find yourself enjoying this mod, please feel free to leave behind a positive rating or comment as a token of appreciation.

Disclaimer: This mod is still work in progress. Expect bugs o'plenty. Feedback and bug-reports are very welcome and I will see to them as soon as I get to it.
