Rate the M2TW Music

Love the Menu music for MTW the most. It seemed so dark, so sullen, it just fits the Medieval period perfectly.

Second best in the series, after MTW. Followed by Rome. Shoguns wasn't that great.

In my own personal opinion, the music in this game is utter ...moderator edit.

Would somebody kindly explain to me how to put in the original MTW music (best medieval type music ever) into this game? I'd be very grateful.

The poll doesn't have the option I'd like, plus I'm still a j.m. so I can't vote.

I'm of the opinion that all of the TW games have had outstanding music. The mongol mobilization music in STW was outstanding. I'd cycle the seasonal backgrounds through winamp just doing work, they were beautiful to listen to. Orda mentioned the flute intro which was great. I don't have the mp3 on this machine, but I believe tension 3 was one of my favorites as well, I don't know what that instrument is but it's awesome when done well.

MTW was yet another worthy successor, the main menu theme was utterly outstanding, it had a ... gritty, for lack of a better term, feel to it, and if one wanted to let themselves be immersed, you could almost imagine yourself 800 years back in a cathedral, listening to some gregorian chant. The islamic faction tension music was also awesome, especially the one that began with the woman's voice.

I gotta disagree a bit with her royal frogness on RTW's music.

The campaign map background for the non-eastern factions got a bit old quick I'll agree, but the eastern winter was awesome to listen to. The Carthaginian intro theme was also one of my favorites. The other thing I have to give credit to RTW for is that in general the music seemed to be very appropriate for the time period. The main menu theme just felt.. well, roman.

M2TW's music is also another worthy addition to the series, the two main menu themes are great. They don't listen the same as the MTW theme, but they have the same feel and add a bit of a modern twist. The rest of the music hasn't blown me away, but it's definitely nice to listen to. I think all in all Jeff's done a great job throughout the series.

Cheers!
