Falalan

[gigau]

while the new pdox music is decent, when you start listening to all those old Eu2/Vicky/HoI music... some epic grand nostalgia

Seconded !

 

[Kinghillard]

we need falalan and la gigue, probably easy to mod in. it's usually just mp3files with theese games.

Paradox won't kill a chicken that gives you golden eggs by including Falalan in the base game. I expect DLC "Songs of the chthonic eldritch horrors" that will include this masterpiece.

Did the original CK also have this kind of amazing "licensed" music? (although I'm aware that there's not a lot of music preserved from that age).

EU3 song "To Constantinople" is wonderful. I hope EU4 will have such wondrous music.

 

[Susanna]

One of the things I like about EU3 is that you can put your own MP3s in the music folder.

I have Falalan in there. (Also a lot of my collection of period music.)

No, CK was the first game in which Paradox had their own music composed.

Falalan is like the Meteor Sighted! event, so awful its inclusion in each generation of game should be mandatory.

Ah, but the best way to listen to Falalala is to open 10 tabs of it on youtube at the same time and have them start playing at 15 second intervals

1st step - Make a tutorial about modding music into EU4 conveniently using Falalan for the explanation as an example.

2nd step - Use the guide to mod it in.

3rd step - Profit!

Also, as far as I'm concerned, a mod CAN'T break any copyright laws because it's a fan-made modification done without any lucrative purpose. If someone complains about it, then put a reference to the copyright owners - they're the owners of the distribution rights involved in business procedures, but they don't own the song, you can listen to it whenever you want and you can mod it into EU4 whenever you want. But as I said, if it's strictly forbidden (which I doubt, after all you can post songs in YouTube if you made reference to the copyright owner) we can make the "modding guide" trick, no one can blame you for using their song as a reference...

Brothers! We must unite!

Now is the hour for which we shall forever be remembered! We must unite as the brothers of the FALALAN! The heavens shall sing praise of we, the Brotherhood of the FALALAN! As wee lad playing EU2 the song became one with me, it became one with all of us! NOW IS THE HOUR OF OUR DEVOTION TO THUNDER ACROSS THESE FORUMS!

(Well, that's enough fun for one day, but I would be quite surprised if Falalan was included in EU4)

Falalan was not that bad. If it had been included in a wide variety of music then it would have been fine. The only reason people don't have a similar level of hatred for music of later games is that you don't notice as much when CK2 music, for instance, is repeating over and over, it's easier for that music to just fade into the background as you focus on the games.

I actually rather like Falalan, and I don't think it is fair to it to act like it is some curse that you sadistically inflict on someone.

This topic reminds me of the music in Imperialism II. I don't know if anyone played that, but the soundtrack for that was really great period music. But perhaps modern players won't like Baroque music?

I can't speak for anyone else, but back in the day I specifically ordered Joculatores Upsaliensis' "Woods, Women, and Wine" (The CD Falalalan and many others came from) since I liked the music.

I have it burned to my hard drive, and still listen to it periodically. It will forever be a part of my life.

Just ordered the album, thanks.

Falalan is like a drug. It is so good and addictive (and maybe driving listeners to madness) that you just want to pass it on to the next generation of Eu fans.
Therefore it should be included in Eu4!

 

[FRodrigues]

EU2, my first paradox game and the thing that I remember better is this music!
Falalan for ever!

 

[Vinsep]

EU2 is my first Paradox game too...Untill this day I still play music from EU2 while playing EU3

 

[SirWallyWombat]

Oh man, I just ordered that Album as well.

 

[GAGA Extrem]

Its not Europa Universalis if it hasn't Falalalalalalan Falalalalaarglx
OH GOD, NOT AGAIN! All the years of therapy for naught....

 

[Sleight of Hand]

I watched the video of the orchestra playing the EU IV main theme. It's okay, but this is much better. Get the legal stuff / royalties sorted out ASAP.

I wonder if it exists on MP3 somewhere...?
