Limits for music

[Rodion Romanovich]

Does anybody know the limits, if any, for music for a mod? Any limit to the length of pieces, and the number of different pieces you can have for:

- deployment music (the one played until you've started the battle and given your first order)
- marching music (music played from first order in a battle is given, and until the fighting starts)
- battle music (music played from the battle starts and that keeps playing until it ends or the battle ends)

I haven't discovered any limits in length on any of the three stages. I might have been lucky with my pick of tracks though.
By the way, I deploy to the sound of "The Drums of Gaugemela" (Alexander), march to "The Fort Battle" (Last of the Mohicans) and ...slaughter to the sound of "Anvil of Crom" (Conan the Barbarian)..and I'm quite happy about it

Sounds good!

The pieces we had in mind aren't too long each, but the question remains if there are any limits to the number of different pieces for each type.

Hm. Coming to think of it, I don't think I've heard any more than three (four, tops) different tracks to each of the battle phases, even though I have about 8 tracks listed for use in each phase. Might be 3/4 is the magic limit?
But then, of course, how does the process choose which tracks to play, out of the list given? The tracks it does play during my battles are placed rather randomly on my lists, so I can't say that it starts at the top of the list or anything like that.

Also, after I added my new tracks, I've lost the little piece of music that used to play in the background when the "You've Won/Lost the Battle" window popped up after battle. Kinda strange, as I didn't make any changes to that music when I added my own. You've encountered anything like that?
Still, it's a small price to pay though, for being able to make a cavalry charge to the sound of "Anvil of Crom"
