Please hire the composer of the new music again!

I wonder would they ever hire Richard Beddow, he seems to really emphasise that feeling of power in his music tracks.

While I'm not ill disposed towards the new soundtracks, I do like the original ones better, especially Silk Road and Family; they are just relaxing to listen to.

Though; even more than those I love the Nomadic Battle Theme and Nomad Theme from Europa Barbarorum; don't you just imagine yourself sitting on the wild steppes, in the clean air, with a giant pot of honey, just enjoying life when listening to it?

Agreed. I want less roman like and random music and more mediterranean and greek sounding music. So immersive!

Enjoying the new soundtracks much more than the older one, you can totally feel the might of an Empire. I really enjoy Moment of the battle IMO it should start automatically when a war is declared.

Please hire this composer again for more tracks in the future

Or they can add remastered tracks from EU Rome.

While I agree that Järpehag's music could use a bit more punch here and there, I find the more martial tracks from the last batch a bit too pompous to my taste. They are probably fine at the launch of some major defining event, like — random example — when you declare war as Carthage against Rome; that is maybe once or twice per campaign, but I wouldn't have them playing as frequently as the rest of the soundtrack. As others have already said, the original soundtrack creates a contemplative atmosphere befitting the players' roaming around the Mediterranean Sea. (Yes, I'm pretending you don't actually exist, Eastern and Northern parts of the map. )

As a point of comparison, some of my favourite tracks are 'Oceanus', 'Karthago', 'The Punic Wars'.
