On The History Channel

[RisingSun]

I just saw it, and I was playing MTW at the time.

They ripped a ton of music straight from the MTW Campaign Map My computer is in the same room as the TV, and so I start hearign the music, but I'm in a battle at the time. I go, Nah, could't be. They wouldn't rip it off.

I turn off my computer speakers and sure enough, it was coming from the TV. Smooth one History Channel. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Anybody else watch it?

Yeah I heard the music too. Actually, my son picked up on it first. The one I'm sure of was the campaign map music but there was one other bit that was familiar but I couldn't place it.

The show was pretty good but I do have one complaint about documentaries done by the History Channel. They make about 5 minutes of re-created scenes and then repeat them 10 times in the hour long show to fill the video. It really starts getting annoying later in the show when there is no new footage to show. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/ceasarno.gif

I also noticed that, about the music. Is MTW's music original or is it an actual piece of medieval music that the History Channel also happened to use?

I thought the show was good - I never knew that William the Conqueror's army included a large division of Bretons who felt that they were fighting to reclaim their ancestral lands from the Saxons, and invoked Arthur for that reason.
