Music plans?

[BlkbrryTheGreat]

For me, one of the coolest things about Vicky was the era appropriate soundtrack that played during the game; I'm just curious if the plans are to have an original soundtrack or to use masterpieces from the period again?

Well, I certainly hope they do famous pieces from the Victorian era! Or perhaps a combination of that and new pieces that at least sound "Victorian", or fit in with the game somehow.

They could recycle the soundtrack from Victoria and I'd be happy. It was and still is the only Paradox game that I *didn't* turn the music off after a few days.

I loved the sound track! I hope it stays like it is, although I'd be happy to see different pieces in a similar vein. Otherwise I'd probably just copy in Vicky's soundtrack anyway It was just so... perfect... in every way. In comparison, HoI2 I can barely remember the music, EU2 all I can remember is falalan screeching away, and EU3 all I remember is the piece they borrowed from Vicky, or at least I'm pretty sure they did.
Edit: Yep, Sequentia: Dies Irae, used for the resign screen in EU3 is also on Vicky, and is the only music I remember from EU3

This is perhaps the only era covered by Paradox where use of period music has a good reason - it's the golden age of classical music and marches!

I say keep classical pieces.
