However, the reason why I like these three kinds of music is because I am a huge history buff and a huge EB fan, not necessarily because I like music. Since the day I was born, I have not voluntarily listened to a song myself. If I was to listen to EB music before I actually got to play EB, I would think it was horrible (no offense) because that's simply what I think about any kind music in general.
    That is amazing, someone who does not like music at all? May I ask why, was it a horrible accident or a bad experience while listening to music?

    he was head banging to some Slayer and smashed his head off the bathroom mirror, resulting in a massive hemmorage. A peice of glass lodged itself in such a place that stopped the bleeding and saved his life. No more will he rock again! hahaha

    Tell, you the truth I am not quite sure myself, I simply detest and loathe music. I guess I haven't been exposed to music very much, which probably isn't true since my parents listened to music and I have encountered music in social settings, but nevertheless I have never in my life listened to a song on my own will (except for EB, RTW and Gladiator music which I am fond of simply because it reminds me of Rome, games or just history).

    The real hatred for music began in the eleventh year of my life. Before that I just didn't listen to it, considering listening to music a silly and wasteful pursuit. What's even more interesting is that I have never been able to find another person like me, one who does not like music. No bad experiences/accidents or anything. It is just a pointless waste of time to me, especially the music from the past 20th and 21st centuries. In addition to music I also have other things on my "to detest list" such as food, women, liberals, popular culture, television, etc. Don't get me wrong, I am not some nefarious, antisocial, everything-hating person. I have friends in my local nerd community, I like reading, history, computers, sketching, computer games (duh!) but not any of the things on the "to detest list".

    Ok, I can understand some of your statement, because there are some foods and some women that I dislike or detest but are you saying you hate all women and all food? I am trying to picture who you are or what you might look like from this statment and I am seeing a very skinny(or very fat) person who is interested in homesexuality or asexuality. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."

    Wow?

    No I am not homosexual, nor do I have abnormal weight. I am a conservative, a Tory/Republican. My weight is just perfect, or at least according to the body mass index chart, and I am not a weakling or anything. Homosexuality sickens me, although I am very tolerant of gays, especially for a conservative (they can do whatever the heck they like as far as I am concerned). Allowing gays to marry in church is nevertheless too far. A civil marriage should be enough. A better way to describe me would be somewhat of an asexual(no I am not castrated), or at least currently, as things do have the propensity to change. It is quite possible that I might find a woman that I like, but that has yet to happen. Sexuality is just an enormous distraction that has led so many people astray. It is far better to live without it.

    As for food, I derive no pleasure from consuming it. That is why I do not care what I eat as long as it is healthy. I am not a health nut though, I avoid organic foods (inefficient) and would be the first to buy cloned meat. I could and have eaten the same thing for a week and have not gotten bored with the food. I was actually a vegetarian for a quite lengthy period, but not for any moral reasons. I still avoid red meat and my non-vegetarian diet consist of mostly seafood.

    I just use the default EB music, which I like so much that I actually use it when I play Civilization 4. I might try listening to Ulver, Kila, or Empyrium while playing next time, though. And I bet "Asgard" by Therion would make an awesome battle song.

    Eb music is very good, so i usually listen to it a bit muted and in the background something like:
    Slayer
    Sham 69
    Kassabean
    Adriano Celentano
    Ramones
    Jefferson Airplane
    Dr. Dre
    The Beastie Boys
    Some Mariachi/ Calexico
    Johnny Cash
    Nine Inch Nails....you name it....
    ...just a good mix of fine music...

    I am currently playing Karthago..so some African/ Islamic music fits well in my opinion....I am a big music fan btw.

    No, actually I do have a very happy life. I am doing what I like and I am always busy as well as never bored. Are you from Mexico, since that is the only country I can think of celebrating its Independence Day today? Unless of course you are from Papua New Guinea, which also happens to have its Independence Day today, but that is probably much less likely.

    I'm glad that you have found worthwhile interests to pursue. It would be a boring place if we all only liked the same things. For one thing, there would never be a game called Europa Barbarorum.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.
    ================
    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.
