Starting music

[Minodrin]

Will the music that initially starts playing as you start the game be randomized. Or atleast very short. Because after having HoI for 2 months (In February that is), I was forced to turn off the entire soundtrack because there was no song I hated more than Ride of the Valkyres (MP forced me to restart the game all the damn time).

You could just have eliminated the Valkyries' entry from the HoI/music/music.txt, instead of turning the entire soundtrack off. That is if you want to still keep playing the rest of the soundtrack.

I hate that song too.

I don't think anyone knows or will say anything about the music.

BTW I like that song.

I don´t hate the Ride of the Valkyries. It is a classic. I should replace Falalaa by Valkyries. I like Valkyries as well. The helicopter attack scene from the movie "Apocalypse Now" used that song extremely well.

It's a good song, it's just that it's difficult and...downright perturbing to listen to in the midst of the conquest of Romania.

It always makes me think of "Kill the Wa-bit, kill the wa-bit..."

Hope they include Falalaa song in Vic too. :rofl:
It's the most famous song in EU2!

The soundtrack will be two grand, epic songs played over and over in a random order. Just like EUI. Mark my words.

You do realise it is illegal to play a game that has Stukas in it WITHOUT the Valkyries, no?

I think there's a mandatory five year prison term...that is, if you repent...otherwise it's time for the comfy chair.

Ride is the best song!!!

I'd like to note that EU 1 actually had 4 songs on its soundtrack... The two European ones, the late game one you hear while playing the age of revolutions (the sitar one) and the heavy, Turko-Russian style you hear when playing an eastern nation.

See! 4 whole songs...

...I hope Vic has more.

Why random? That'd just make things chaotic. Nice and orderly is best...hmmm, we might as well follow that line of thought and stay with one piece of music.

Seriously, IIRC Vicky will have a lot more than HOI did (can't recall the exact ratio)...and HOI had more than EU2. So Paradox just keeps cramming more classic music onto their game discs. This is definitely a good thing in my book.

Unless Pradox changed for this game the playlist will be random, it was so for EU, EU2 and HoI. The only one that wasnt random was the first one wich is the first one in the music txt file.

Anyway, I´ll probably play one game with the default music and then add my own, including Falalan

I haven't really felt the need to do that thus far. Seems the Paradoxians and I have pretty much the same taste when it comes to music.

But I did miss Holst in HOI (but it was apparently for copyright reasons that he got left out).

Exactly

 

[maekh]

550729-02 is the best song in HOi and I have no clue what the real name is Georgian war marsch is pretty good too though

btw i use Tchaikowsky's swan lake as startup music

 

[unmerged(6535)]

Swan is good. No doubt they'll have more Tchaikovsky in Vicky. I kinda want "Pictures at an Exhibition" to be in there, but if not, I'll just have to add it myself.

Not a vicky question, but since we're talking music does anyone know what that really sad piece from Homeworld1 is called? The one that plays when your world gets nuked. It in several films and adverts too, although the only film whose name I can recall is Keven & Perry go large (I remeber it because I hate it).
