actually, the music I used is traditional authentic Ancient Greek Delphic Paean music, written by ancient Greeks. And it is a part of world heredity. This music survived for more then 2 thousands years. Well, I can't understand how someone can call it "cacophany".

Supposing hardrock survives for two thousand years, don't you think people from the future will think it jarring too? Just because it's old, and culturally important, does not mean we have to like it.

I think it OK, by the way; but I don't think it will work as a soundtrack.

I would be pleased, if hardrock survived for 2 thousand years. Look at the Piramids - old and culturally important. But they have simple shape. Why everyone likes them?

And once again, the music is just a soundtrac to movie not to game. If someone shoked with the music, Greeks actualy listend, the information about hygiene, habits and so on would be kinda shoking too. But should we not speaking about them only because it doesn't suit our modern vievs?

As much as I can see how people's tastes change over time (duh!), I have to stick with Finn on this one. I'll be frank about it. If you hate the music of a game (think EB, for some of you people), you mute and start playing your stereo. You would never ask EB's dev team to integrate modern hits into EBII, so why would you do the same for EB:NOM? Correct me if I'm mistaken, but EB:NOM is just as much about teaching and representing history as EB herself was, albeit representing a later period. Hop off your high ground and come to terms. I take Finn's word when it comes to the fact that the music is a performance of an otherwise ancient piece of music. Also, although the video itself is but a slideshow, as a videographer I naturally respect Finn's efforts. Great job and keep it up. More power to the modders.

Like I said, I don't particularly care about the music. It was the "troll" comment that I was reacting too.

And no one is, what does this have to do with anything? As I said before, EB has good music, that's not "modern hits", just a modern take on ancient themes. You can make music with voice, drums and flute, in the style of ancient music, that sounds good to modern listeners. They achieved exactly that with EB.

I take Finn's word when it comes to the fact that the music is a performance of an otherwise ancient piece of music.

Which is completely irrelevant, because no one was disputing it's authenticity.

Precisely. I responded to being called a troll for having an opinion.

[Cute Wolf]

well, Finn has allready do a nice works with the preview videos, and the music is a good, authentic one.

it's not about personal tastes, it was all about history
