No New Music?

I just saw the gameplay videos and one of my biggest worries has been realised. They seem to have kept the old Empire music. Now I am not saying that the Empire music was bad but I really think it could have been better, more atmospheric. And from what I heard it was pretty much the same as Empire.

I know Rome in itself was a brilliant game but the music made it all the better for me. They really really nailed that one musically.


CA, please bring back Van Dyke.

I agree. The music of the previous games were much better.

I heard new stuff.

Show me please.

I certainly hope there will be new music in Napoleon. The music gives such a great feel in the gameplay, one that should not be ignored!

Wait! they didn't have him for this?!??!

That explains it.


I find the Empire music boring, flat. I know my music, I really think my life revolves around it, it anchors me and the music in Empire left me uninspired.

I remember first week playing Rome and I had this song

Echoeing through my hollowed head.

Most of it is pretty unremarkable but I find the naval battle music to be quite good.



I love it at 1:21, it sounds like something out of a Star Trek movie or Star Wars

Its good music, but sir, please don't confuse John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith. God and Jesus are slightly different

There is 60 minutes new music. I heard it yesterday

Awesome! is it good?

Have some rep, old viking, I concur with your previous statements.

But why do you care about the music??? I just leave the sound and the effects...

Music stands in for the atmosphere that you would actually be experiencing in that moment on the battlefield. It builds you up. Just having sound effects is boring, flat and empty. Devoid of atmospheric historical empathy.
