Here's an exceedingly random question!

[Mithradates VI]

I never realize before that they're bird sound before in game, had to turn the music volume way down just to hear it over the wind noise. But by experimenting around it does sound like a wren call is on when ever your over land in the startegy map. and I think wrens are only found in the Americas.
So I would ask if you're going to go ahead and replace the file are there really any good canidates of birds common to all of europe, N Africa, Near East, Middle East, and central asia? Since this sound will be heard every where on the strategy map.

Off the top of my head:

Horned Lark (steppes, mostly)
Peregrine Falcon
Common Raven
Bluethroat
European Robin


I'm not that familiar with birds of Eurasia, but it shouldn't be too hard to research. I actually have a field guide to birds of Europe floating around somewhere...and it shouldn't be hard to find one for the middle east or North africa.

NB: I've seen the bird songs in the files...somewhere. Should be a simple matter of replacing them with accurate species. Hardest part would be finding the recordings and choosing species, really.

Simple, all you have to do is issue a call for bird volunteers around the DC area available for recording auditions! Just like the Greek voicemod, easy-peasy!

You're all barking mad

Now watch this.

Well Mithradates..., if you could give the EB team the audio files or the location of such audio files, I think that would be great.

I am no bird expert, but I think it would be a very good addition.

Take note, most likely this will not be done with urgency.

I shall begin the work then! I know it's not urgent, but perhaps I can test methods in game to make it work properly in the interem, thus saving you a LOT of time.

That would be great .

I think I can help with European birds, Im studing biology, but also an history lover!!!

(I'm a closet birder as well as a nerdy gaming historian ).

Youre not alone...
But I also love to search and fotograph not only birds but all kinds off animals since wolves and deers to vipers and frogs

WoW a bird-watcher and history nerd, bad combination.

If you feel like it, you can make a "minimod" that edits ambience. I doubt you can have different ambiance based on the global position of the tile of the battlefield.

Haha thanks for the video with the Lyre bird I am Herenow.
I saw it once before, so awesome..

The Bower bird is also awesome:
