Yeah I tried all of the instructions that you fellas gave, but I simply cannot make rotwk work.

I did it with BFME 1 but with this I simply give up.

I spent months attempting to mod it to make AI stop using ballistas and catapults but it doesn't work.

The biggest thing I done is to make them not use it on some maps where you start with camps and castles like Helm's deep, but generally it doesn't work.

I give up.

If there is someone patient and willful enough to help me the only way is to make contact with me on skype and use TeamViewer because it shouldn't take long.

My skype name is stefan.misic9 (Stefan Misic) ...

Thank you!

Did you manage to find out how to do it at all? I need someone to help me over Skype/Zoom/Teams too!

The first question that I have for you is how are you set up for modding? Are you creating a mod using the -mod command method?

To remove the siege units the easiest way is to go into commandset.ini and find the siegeworks buildings. In there you just remove the lines that are for the bsllista and catapults.

For the AI to stop using them, there us a different ini that you have to edit. I believe it is called aiskirmishdata.ini (though I might be wrong)

I know this was from YEARS ago but I recently downloaded my BFME2 again with RotWK and Age of the Ring. 

I've been able to change this easily in the past, going into the .ini files in the skirmish data for Gondor, removing their catapults. For some reason, I can't seem to find how to do it now. 

In terms of actually getting into the skirmish data, how would I locate this? All of my files are BIG Files (.big) I can't find any .ini files anywhere. 

It would be great if anyone had step by step instructions and what specific software I need to download to open up any files I need to change. The last time I did this, I remember just opening up a notepad document, removing some code/changing some values to 0 and it worked. 

Thank you to anyone who has read this!
