Sound and Music!

Well, medieval didn't really have any music, it cut off after about 1:30 every battle, and it was still good.....

Well medievals music was great becuase it had.. how do i put it in words.. "local" music for the islamic and christian factions, VI had viking-esque music, STW and MI also sported great music (mongol and japanese) and so on, thats why its great, i'm hoping rome also has this sort of music in it, and not generic music like it had in the demo.

from the early reviews, it seems the music will be inspiring (think star wars, sorry the dvds are on my mind) and the sound effects will be engaging (think thousands of booted feet coming to walk all over you!).

i hope there won't be any chirping on the campaign map.

I just got it installed and was just messing around with settings. I decided to take a look at the credits...the music is the same as the menu music for the demo but with a wordless(?) female vocal. It was OUTSTANDING. From the credits, it was Angela(?) van Dyck - perhaps the wife or sister of the composer Jeff van Dyck? Anyway, I really liked the menu music but this vocal version blew me away. The vocal reminded me a bit of Enya in style.

That is all I can say about the music at this point.

Very good to hear that the music has been spiced up from the demo. The menu music in the demo isn't very professional from a technical standpoint - it sounds too much like stock synth sounds.
