The new music in Kingdoms

[hekk]

Personally I think its the best CA has made so far, the music in the Britannia campaign and the Americas is esspecially awesome, really liked the Britannia intro music aswell.

[HansDuet]

Try the music in Teutonic! Its great. So is Americas.
Agreed. It is better than M2 or Romes. (Havent played M1 or shogun)

[Spurius]

Even heard a piece of RTR tune in there (the female Eastern voice).

[Chevalier IX]

I must agree that this new music set for kingdoms is easily distinguished as the best yet far for the series,especially fond of the pieces to be found in the teutonic campaign,for they truly recall for me images of the old 1960's epic cinemas.

Well, personal I think the music in MTW is the best this far...
The music in M2TW is very good and the music in Kingdoms is nothing short of perfect...but MTW has that "little" extra, with chanting and drums beating away.
I never liked the music in RTW though, apart from a few songs like: "Mayham"

IMO the RTW music was a bit minimalistic. The M2TW music was quite underproduced and often used instruments or patterns that really broke the atmosphere. I MEAN FFS HE USED A HOUSE BUILDUP! Or theres some easter songs that have that chinese instrument that sounds like "xang" when it's used.
You know where.. it's like you have a main hook that's really cool that consists of 4 notes
So it goes:
Verse One
Chorus with the 4 notes
Verse 2
Verse 3
Note 1, Note 2, Note 1, Note 2, Note 1, Note 2, Note 1, Note 2, Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, Note 4.
Also Jeff Van Dyk did use the Arabic scale this time... (that's defenitly a good thing) although there were times where he didn't use it very well(compared to some Goa Trance songs I've heard).

Ofcourse I haven't heard the Kingdoms music yet though... and I've heard good reviews of it. So I'm looking forward.

The MTW1 music was real nice though. Check out Arab battle 1 or Euro battle 1 to see what I mean. In particuler the Arab music was all great. MTW1 style music+use of Arabic scale for Arabs=win. It's well worth noting I really like Arabic music. Looking forward to the music in kingdoms when I decide to get it though... have heard that all except American music is good.

[Legione]

What do people think about the crusades music?

[Valor]

Indeed, the new musics bring more medieval atmosphere than the ones from the original game. And even if these are good too, they lack this small detail which makes the difference to please us. I especially appreciate the Britannia music

[IrAr]

I love the prebattle Britannia music! The best piece of music in any Total War, ever!

[The Mongol]

The music is the thing I'm looking forward to mostly right after the Americas campaign

Bought MTW2 (again) and Kingdoms on steam. MTW2 is 62% done, Kingdoms at 44%. Hurry up! I have to hear this music everyone is ranting and raving about!

[snuggans]

i've only touched the Britannia campaign and I must say it is SO good. all the fife and bagpipes really get me into the game.

just what is the name of those drums? they appear every now and then during the campaign but play mostly during the menu theme.

my only complaint are the 5-10 second tracks during the campaign. the length makes them odd...

Haven't played the Britannia campaign yet, but would probably be the Bodhrán.

thanks

[Zapp]

Britannia music is just awesome.

[Ataegina]

well i must agree with you guys, kingdoms music its great in all campaigns

[Chim]

I also think the music is great! Even though they stole it from the game Lineage 2 in the main M2 campaign you here fragments of the Lineage 2 intro music (somewhat in the middle of the song, check the link below)...

If you enjoy M2TWK music check some of these: http://www.lineage2.com/pds/pds_music.html

Check this guide LINK

In order to extract mp3s from specific Kingdoms campaign, you need to:
1. unpack that campaign (M2TW/data/tools).
2. have an idx extractor (link in guide)
3. place xidx.exe and extract_sounds.bat in mods/Kingdoms specific campaign/data/sounds
4. run extract_sounds.bat - this will extract all sounds including music mp3s in the same folder
5. listen

Hope you get it

My fav track thus far is Teutonic_mobilize_hymn_of_war - just pure evil, kinda reminds me music from ww2 documentaries
I have all music mp3s from all 4 campaigns and can say music is brilliant and very immersive. Great job CA composers
