Väinö I said:I bet you replied before you even started DLing the songs.
Anyway, no Falalalan?
Yep.
Voted Rome. It seems more cinematic.
Preferred
I too like the background choir / atmosphere aspect of the "Battle of Zama" theme but believe the overall quality and ambience of the "Rome goes to war" far superior.
However, I also believe that if this is intended to depict Rome, the intent of the score would be better served with more of a Militaristic / Imperial feel. When listening to this theme, one's mind more readily turns to the exotic east. Point in case, I believe the film Gladiator use a similar score for the segment set in Africa.

Good songs both of 'em but I prefer Rome goes to war. It has more of a historical feel to it. 
I can't wait coming home from work listening to those two. I have no speakers on my job pc.......
Nice work!!! Both of them are epic music fitting for an empire.
But...
It's not rely the music I relate to a bloody battle with arrows, stones and fireballs flying through the air. It's a bit to contemplative. On the other hand, it would be great music to my triumphant return to Rome.
I give my vote to Battle of Zama. I'm a sucker for large choirs.
(and I believe there should be dogs of war in the game - big dogs!)

I think they're both fantastic, but Rome Goes to War just rings of ambition and the lust for power. Stiffens up the sinews and summons up the blood.
Stratege said:Am I the only one: I think Rome goes to War sounds very oriental. As if it would better be named Egypt goes to war
I agree. IMO, the guitar sounds in Rome goes to War were pretty awful. IMO, they pretty much ruined that song.
I favored Battle of Zama.
Falalalan, and just hours of Falalalan. What else can we demand. There should be no other than Falalalan.

No guitars in "Rome goes to war", middle eastern plucked instruments called Oud and Santoor was used. Sometimes one has to improvise when you cant get hold of ancient roman musicians.
The rome song is not a battle song for those that thought it was, its meant as a buildup to war tune.
Im happy that so many like the music samples, let me know what you think of the full soundtrack when you get the game.

That's how I envisioned 'Rome Goes to War', too. I could almost envision the legions girding up, the sharp sound of metal on metal as the valiant men of Rome train on the Campus Martius, the gargantuan doors of the Temple of Janus thrown open to admit the soldiers eager to pray for the new beginning of an as-yet unjudged conflict.
... so yeah, I like it.

Both are incredible.
My vote goes to Zama, though. I love the choir sound for a battle.

Yes that would be my reason too. Battle of zama, strangely does have a HOI feel to it.Birger said:Good songs both of 'em but I prefer Rome goes to war. It has more of a historical feel to it.
