Good songs to add to the game?

[Castun]

I remember it was some years ago (in the HoI1 days) someone had posted a link to a list of good songs to add to the game. Most of them were classical / orchestral / choral most with a war theme that fit with the game's existing music very well. I was getting back into the game and looking to get them again, but for the life of me I could only really remember a few. Anyone remember this, or can at least give some good suggestions?

O Fortuna , Requiem for a Dream.

You should also use some epic game soundtracks, such as Call of duty 3 main menu music , and this from gears of war 1

Nimrod would be a good one I think. It always makes me think of the fallen.

Can't remember what it's called, but I added that catchy number from the start of 'Battle of Britain'. The film, that is. I also chucked in the soviet anthem, the italian one, and the Battlefield 1942 theme

I added a bunch of music mp3 files but I can't get them to play. Only the original tracks in the game will play.

I pasted the mp3's into the music file like you do with EU3, but this doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know what do you have to do to fix it so the songs you add will play?

Yeah...there are 3 .doc files in the folder and you have to put the names of the songs into them.If you copy a song to that folder and write the name in the lobby.doc you'll hear that song when you start the game...

I hope that helps...

I've always thought Ashokan Farewell was a really good piece to listen to while playing HoI II. It's the famous violin lament from the Ken Burnes documentary about the American Civil War.

SovMusic.Ru is the classic site that is always pulled out in situations like this. Tons upon tons of patriotic sovjet music

Victory At Sea music and other stuff

The old documentary show "Victory at Sea" had a lot of great war-themed music that can be downloaded as mp3's at this link:

...and if you want to hear some inspirational words from Frank Roosevelt, check out mp3's of some of his speeches. Here you'll find everything from the Arsenal of Democracy speech to the Declaration of War, the D-Day prayer broadcast, etc. etc......

maybe a bit of WW2 themed music such as the Call of Duty 3 menu music? That music is good to listen to and fits the timezone perfectly!
