    I have managed to gain a copy of the original music tracks from the game. they were all in .ogg format and i had to simply convert them to mp3. I have them working in game. In addition, i found this very nice remake of the opening theme from the original game which i think will make a perfect selection for the menu screen...

    first, here is the original theme > Defender of the Crown theme

    the orchestrated version > Defender of the Crown theme

    In addition to this, i have as stated changed the original sound track from .ogg into .mp3. tracks include:
    Raiding a Castle theme
    Meeting robin of Locksley theme
    Rescuing a Princess theme
    Garrison theme
    Tournament theme
    Tournament won theme
    Game Victory theme

    I had issues at first cause i could not find any of the pieces of music individually and only found copies of them all in one track played one after the other. So i downloaded a sound editor for free and chopped it up .
    After i had done that i came across some new updated versions of the game music. So i have a few different versions.

    I am not sure if i want to use all the music for the mod tho. Cause i dont think any of it has that Total War feel to it which i think it requires. the music i have though could possibly be used for specific events, if im able to figure out the music .txt files. As an example of what i mean:

    Code:
    type mission_spy_settlement
     		event  
     			folder data/sounds/SFX/Campaign_Map
     			 mission_spy_settlement.mp3
     		end
    Where i would simply put the mp3 i wish to use for that event...

    the original DotC game allowed the player to conduct Castle Raids and Rescue Princesses etc. I have thought of ways to impliment this into the game as stated in the WIP thread, but after rethinking about it i dont like my original approach. So i was thinking using spies as 'raiders'. They are then able to spy on other settlements etc. when they spy on a settlement then i can use a script to play out the 'Castle Raid' and just use a series of pop-up events to tell the story of the 'raid'.

    I could then set up Assassins in a similar way to rescue princesses. - assassinate the general in the settlement holding the princess captive and you rescue the princess... -

    I have even thought of trying to get video clips of events from the original game and just show the movie clip when the event happens. such as raiding a castle. or something... but we will see i guess...

    The original sound track is shareware now i believe. Its downloadable for free. I am not using the soundtrack from the more recent versions of the game, only the original. The Orchestrated version of the theme is fan made.

    I am not using The more recent versions of the game for Sony, Xbox and PC as reference. I am only using the original versions of the game made for the Amiga, Nintendo 8-bit and C-64...

    There is an online version of one of the playstation and Xbox versions of the game online that is playable in your browser, here. I am not a fan of that version of the game.

    They have also made an iPod/iPhone/iPad version available on iTunes. It is supposedly a remake of the original.
