[Kenshiroit]

[nubapowner5000]

How do you make a mod for RTW? I would greatly appreciate it if someone got back to me, thanks.

ehh that wind pipe is not in tune, love the lute or w/e that is

[BukurDava]

Wow, we still use this instrument, with the same tonality here in Romania.

[generalpatton3]

@BukurDava

Romanian is quite similar to Latin, or so I hear, so maybe that's why it isn't surprising that they still use the instrument.

The writing seems to be asimilar at least. As for the pronunciation... I am a Russian, and I have been in Moldova, and they do speak Romanian there, and it does not sound very much alike... However, it's the closest we have.

@generalpatton3 There's a reason Romania is called Romania. A very grim reason indeed. When the Romans invaded what used to Dacia and Thrace, they attempted (and mostly succeded) to completely exterminate the original peoples, therefore dubbing it Romania.

[SeadogDriftwood]

@generalpatton3 Romanian is a Romance (Latin-based) language, and has been influenced by Thracian, Dacian, Illyrian, and Slavic languages, as well as others that are now lost completely.

This is really cool. I've always wondered what roman music sounded like. Ty for posting this

[barpaza]

And 2000 years afters the British came and robbed the Roman music and made it British for movie purposes.. like most of its culture

[generalpatton3]

@barpaza

Eh?

I cannot recollect the Limeys doing such a thing :-\

No one seems to care about what the Roman music really sounded like *sniffle*, so I do not see why the Brits would...

[Wyndworm]

@generalpatton3 all the roman music you've collected is really beautiful, where could i buy these tunes? and also are alot of the symphonies real roman compositions or are they modern pieces using roman instruments?

[thedudewiththesax]

@generalpatton3 I care *sniffle*

[Wyndworm]

@barpaza your quite an odd fellow XD british had their own music....elgars sympthonies. I can't remember hearing anything like this before..and i'm a brit...don't remember any films with roman music in.....in fact....think before you speak everyone perplexed.

[dmkavidelly]

@barpaza Wasn't Britannia a Roman province? how did they steal from the Romans wen they WERE Romans?

Just saying.

[durdle1701]

@dmkavidelly when the Romans invaded Britannia in 43 ad they brought some amazing technology that flabbergasted the Celts. It would be like the Starship Enterprise landing on our shores, though not as cruel as the Romans, at least I hope so.

[BulljivENtertainment]

@durdle1701 True - but many artifacts attributed to the Romans were in fact built by the Celts - the Celts also lived in Gaul and many of the ancient roads there attributed to the Romans were in fact built by the Celts. A great deal of Celtic mythology too was absorbed by the Romans.

[SuperMusicHero]

@dmkavidelly a roman province, not roman itself.

[histatimaniples]

total epic battel music rome total war 2 should have this music in it

[generalpatton3]

@histatimaniples

Why wait for that? I already modded all of Musica Romana (both albums) into the campaign music (I thought it was not 'martial' enough for battles). Then I modded appropriate tracks from Gladiator, Spartacus, Ben-Hur, and Cleopatra soundtracks into the battle music. RTW recognises tension, mobilisation, battle, victory, loss and (I believe) deployment music. Different songs fit different situations.

I can upload the music mod too. I hope you like Europa Barbarorum! :D

@generalpatton3

Personally I think the RTW soundtrack is BRILLIANT and shouldn't be touched - but I guess once you hear the same songs for that long you get sick of it. If R:TW2 will not succeed in soundtrack as 1 did, I know where to turn to? :)

[generalpatton3]

@Israelpwn

RTW is indeed good, but it could always use additions. EB has its own music, which I kept. If I were to play vanilla RTW, I would mod this in while still keeping the original tracks. Remember, I only use the music I uploaded on YouTube for the campaign, not battles. Personally, I spend much more time on the campaign map than in battles (EB has 199 regions), even though I *never* use auto-calc. So the original RTW campaign music was too little to satisfy me.

[Israelpwn]

@generalpatton3

EB?

Also yeah, I suppose. If you're just adding more tracks to the game then nothing is lost, only gained. And interesting...my battles take long. Hence I only play major battles, too lazy for most "definite win" ones. Except the AI is a moron and manages to lose too many men when I clearly outnumber them..

But I see. For each his own then

[ZionAMyth]

cool
