what very important thing that EB is missing...

[Hooahguy]

i do about the same thing that Hax does, but when i lose i get the ghostly defeat screen, and no music....
i want music dammit!
lol

[Havok.]

Pardon me if i cant see a difference between Rap and Hip hop
ohh well
i wish i lived in the 60s

[Reverend Joe]

Hey, me too, Havok. Hell, I wish I was the lead guitarist in a Cream-style acid rock band. (Or bass player; Jack Bruce was one bad mofo. Speaking of which, where have all the good bass players gone? Jack Bruce, Jack Cassady... but I digress.) But we all gotta try to have eclectic taste... it makes the whole world seem more interesting.

As for the actual topic at hand... I don't really see defeat music as anything approaching a priority. I mean, I don't listen to the in-game music (it's too cheesy, sorry...) and even if I did, I don't think I would be in the mood to listen to music just after losing a battle.

I rather die to listen rap music at home
i think i'll stick with the good o' classic rock

+1 in the 1%.

I don't fight to the last.

When I feel like losing (hehum, errr sometimes the AI makes me feel that way too, but it's another story) I get the hell out of Dodge to fight another day. But, like a doting father, I make sure all my units are safe and out of trouble before I quit.

once when I knew I was going to loose , instead of just telling them to retreat I just sent them running to the edge of the map... then I pressed W... and instead of jsut crossing the frikin' line they started running in every direction , wich eventully got them killed

[dominique]

You must bring them to "your" edge.

[||Lz3||]

that's what I did... they ran to the enemy forces...got themselves killed, and then they returned to the line

[dominique]

Well, that beats my phalanxes running all over the place instead of lowering their pikes in front of cataphracts.

Thank you RTW for these well-timed "undocumented features"

ok, i asked my mod leader and he said the song is the property of DICE and EA, and is only allowed to use that song for BF2142 only.
sorry.

Count me among that "1"% of those who play until the end even when defeat. *grin*
I also continue to play when I win in order to try to kill running enemies (not very honorable, but who cares asd).

Btw, for solving the problem, I simply reintroduced the old defeat bgm of vanilla Rome in the soundtrack, since it's good and atmospheric, since I generally prefer the original scores (however I mantained the best EB tracks: some are really good, other ones are terribly boring for me; besides I added some other tracks from another game OST, but now I'm a little OT), since it perfectly fits the mood ofa defeat, since I really wanted any track to hear when I am defeated on the campaign map or on the battle map.

This proposed loss theme imho is nice but I'd prefer a more "dramatic" one, however.

My apologies for mistaking defeat to mean "lost the game" rather than "lost the battle". Indeed I have often seen a battle defeat. How many have ever seen the defeat movies though?

[dominique]

I did. Hayasdan 1.0 game. The grey death swarmed me almost right away (I had only two towns). It was insulting to see the AS with larger kinsmen units than mine. They bought them as mercenaries. One of their stack had 3 kinsmen in it. What can you do? I did the boyscout thing and the olympic credo. I did my best. I participate.

[Tellos Athenaios]

IIRC there *is* "defeat" music as in: "you just got humiliated by the AI on the battlefield".

[Hooahguy]

ooo- what if you put in circus music in?

[mlc82]

I'd say a music made by a rap singer, since, at least for me, rap represents deeply how degenerated and defeated a civilization can become, so...... rap, goddamnit

Lol, even the most utterly destroyed faction shouldn't be put through that.... Some things should just remain a crime against humanity.

True, my bad lads
XD

[Celtic_Punk]

speaking of music, how does the music cue while in battle? i want to have the gladiator theme go when i start a thunderous cavalry charge. AS ONEEEE!!!!!!!!!! AS OOOOONE!!!!!
