New battle ambiance (war sounds)

**Simon total war** · August 17, 2007, 11:38 AM

Hello everyone of the BC forum,

I was just thinking about something that might change the way of playing a battle in BC,

BC has it all, the beautifull skins, new map, ect.... but what about battle sounds !!!
Sounds and beautifull skins in a battle is the reason why I like to play battles but the original sounds in M2TW arent really good. Is it just me ? because I'm not feeling the real fun in a battle when playing in any mod. New war cry's, swords hitting shields, sound of blood splash, sounds of arrows hitting wooden shields, Soldiers yelling during the battle and many more would be a wonderfull add to the modification. I do understand you have many things to do to complete BC
and a battle sounds mod is not a priority but I hope one day BC moderators and creators might have time to think about my suggestion. thank you

I think theres already a music mod in progress, tell me if i'm wrong
A combination of both would be great !!

yes, they're implementing new music, the problem here is that adding so much files will increase dramatically the size of the mod, maybe later they can create an addon, a separate file with battle sounds and a lot of music, but as you've said is not the priority, so i don´t think they will implement it on 1.0

While I would personally love the addition of more and better battle sounds, this is almost impossible usually. Or do you know a lot of people with professional sound recording equipment and the technological knowhow of simulating these battlesounds?
Also, new music/sounds generally tend to bloat modsizes. For some people, like me, who live in countries with stupid downloadlimits this truly sucks.

Plus, this would delay the release and I want it NOW!

umm. can i just something? i'd like a mod that i could finish downloading within an hour? even at my 5mbps connection, i don't think i'll be able to download 'all that' in an hour lol.

lets be a bit realistic. as good as the idea is, there are certain logistics [bad word choice?] that need to be considered. and on top of that, there are other things too. if a new collection of sounds _is_ added, then i'd beg that they be added via 'patch to version xx' rather than be a part of BC v1.0 @ 7gb.

cheers!
