Details

For The Sundering I created: - accents [based on english] for High Elves for Dark Elves for Avelorn (female Elven faction) This meant sorting out, cutting, change place or adding strategy map voices for agents, diplomacy, captains/armies and generals (normal, chivaleric and dreadful), building of towers/forts and for navies. And battle map unit selection voices for all 13 factions units (and naturally there is a lot of them, including non-playable slave-faction units; I add not all units are unique to each faction but to a large degree), new warhorn sounds and selected voices unique to certain heroic characters. Also new fire and impact sounds to certain [artillery] attacks making it sound like the magic it is showed to be. added a few battle speeches and sorted the vanilla out from unfitting ones sorted out or cut all non-fitting english battle event speeches (used by all 3 accents) new end turn-sounds All in all I lost count when I had worked my way trough about 1000 .wave and .mp3 files/entries in my task to grant The Sundering players an enjoyable experience. Even if I to be fair did not intended such a work to begin with. When I was asked to lend a hand to this mod I had almost not heard of it, and while I agreed to at least fix some strategy map basics for them, as they was supposed to have another fellow who would take over, it went on to this, as they are nice folks working on a grand mod. For DCI: Last Alliance that is found in the TATW submods MOS and Withwnar's Submod Compilition I created: Tôl Acharn [jihad] event sounds. Loremaster [imam] strat map agent voices. Battle map voices for DCI: TA's mercenaries. regards Ngugi

The official soundtrack of The Sundering : Rise of The Witch King is released! Here you will find the links to Part 1 (Avelorn, Caledor, Chrace, Cothique and Eataine soundtracks) and Part 2 (Ellyrion, Nagarythe, Saphery, Tiranoc and Yvresse soundtracks). http://www.filefront.com/17519969/Official Soundtrack Part1.rar http://www.filefront.com/17519971/Official Soundtrack Part2.rar This work represent more than 100 musics. I tried to give a specific feeling to each faction looking at its culture but since it is all about elves it was not easy! Avelorn is the Kingdom of the Everqueen, you will feel the Spirit of Nature and its link to the Forest without a doubt. (Strongest Bond with Nature, Strong loyalty to Everqueen, Affinity for all animals Isha Worship faction) Caledor is the realm of honor and glory with military discipline so most of tracks are very epic, the most epic of all the soundtrack (Haughty, Short Tempered, Honour/Glory Driven, Martial Mindset, Disciplined, Arrogant, Reckless/Brave, High Emphasis on Smithing, Vaul Worship faction) Chrace is at once very close to nature and inspire courage and strenght, so i ve decided to mix nature themes (but less spiritual than Avelorn) and epic tracks (Hunters, Strong bond with nature, Survivalists, Strong, Stubborn, Brave, Kurnous Worship faction) Cothique and Eataine are quite equal looking at their culture, so i tought it was better to give them the same soundtracks since they are sea-love factions. Most tracks inspire calm and mystery of the ocean, but also adventure! (Sailors, Hardened by life at sea, Spartan lives, Close to the sea, Brave -often fight sea monsters, rough seas, etc-) Ellyrion is like Rohan. It is the land of the horses and i tried to give the feeling of riding through theses amazing riders. They are the watchers of Ulthuan, quiet and vigilant but also enthousiast (Horse oriented, life in the saddle, strong bond between riders and mounts, Horse stealing one of worst crimes Reaver Knights- Vigilant, Hospitable, Semi-nomadic faction) Nagarythe was special for me since i love this faction. I had to select epic tracks but also dark ones which inspires the feeling of living around the Shadowlands. (Cold, Bitter, Outsiders even among other elves, Harsh lifestyle, Vengeance drivenMorai-heg and Loec Worship faction) Saphery has no epic tracks but only musics which refers to magic and mystery, wisdom and unique feeling. This soundtrack is really unique amongst the others (Magic oriented, Wise, Scholarly Hoeth Worship faction) Tiranoc is the siege of the Phoenix King, the soundtrack had to be epic, martial and royal at once, but very elvish too, something which shows the elven culture. I tried to reflect this feeling. (Fiery, Adventurous, Martial minded, Chariot racers faction) Yvresse is are Grim, Stoic, Honourable and Mercantile at once. This faction was the most difficult to me to imagine the best soundtrack, so instead i gave them the Tiranoc soundtrack Except Eataine/Cothique and Tiranoc/Yvresse, every faction is a single and unique experience. In the other hand the musics for battle map obey to 2-3 archetypes so they are nearly the same, nearly
