Re: Dominions Songs
 

I didnt say it was a gripe. :)
Most of my mods and maps dont really fit the lists.

For my mods it tends to be more of a relief. The best ones get written by someone else before I get to them. And the worthy ones I have done get quickly rewritten almost as soon as they are known. Which is fine with me.

My only response was to the apparent statement that I hadnt done any. I would much rather encourage one than administrate one. As long as I keep the conversations flying Ive done my job. :)

Re: Dominions Songs
 

Come on people. I want to space mine out. Is anyone else working on a Dominions song?

Of course, some songs dont need converting. www.CthulhuLives.org has 2 CDs of songs that work great for Rlyeh. A number of Rob Zombie songs will work for Ermor. Im sure there is some Goth music that simply screams to be Mictlan.

Re: Dominions Songs
 

I've been known to make a song parody or two in the past, but I haven't really had the inspiration strike me to make one for dominions. Maybe someday I'll think of something clever, but I don't expect that day to come soon :P

Re: Dominions Songs
 

How about this one?
"A Few of my Favorite Things" from "Sound of Music"

xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xxx xxx
xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xx xxxx
xxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxx xxxx
these are a few of my favorite things

xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xxx xxx
xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xx xxxx
xxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxx xxxx
these are a few of my favorite things

when the xxxxx xxxx
when the xxxxx xxxxxx
when Im xxx xxxxxx xxxx
I think of a few of my favorite things
and then I dont xxxxx xxxx xxxxxx

If I did it then I would just ruin it since "my favorite things" in the game are nothing at all like most peoples. :) Id love to see this one done by someone else.

Also, I have troubles in that my favorite version of this stuck in my head is a dirty version done by 14th Disciple.

Re: Dominions Songs
 

I think the song "The World is a Vampire" by Smashing Pumkins could turn into a good Dominions song....just need to find the words.

The Original lyrics;

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

etc.


EDIT:

Queen - I want to Break Free

Could turn into

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
The world is for Mictlan, sent to drain?

Re: Dominions Songs
 

OK time for another I guess. I will put in a little crappy one so others can feel motivated to do a better one. Please?

sung to the tune of "Great Pretender"

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending that I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm losing but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
A god in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
I have no Hall of Honors post

Re: Dominions Songs
 

Queen - I want to break free.


I want to play dom3
I want to play dom3
I want to play dom3 all day long
I am so self satisfied I don't need you
I want to play dom3
God Knows god knows I want to play dom3

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love with dominions 3
And this time I know its for real
I've fallen in love yeah
God Knows god knows I want to play dom3

Re: Dominions Songs
 

EXCELLENT! Now we are on a roll. Come on people, cough up!
I guess now I get to post another....

sung to the tune of "When Im Sixty-Four" by the Beatles

When I start losing all of my lands,
Many turns from now,
Will you still be sending gems and armament
For the many gold that I sent?

If Im knocked back to my capital site
Will you help me more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When your Pantokrator?

[From the another thread]

I am the very model of a cheap generic thuggable,
I've good Protection, high defense, and gemcost nearly neglible;
My built-in gear's a plate hauberk and Bane Blade, which is adequate
For PD which will route if you can only make them hurt a bit.
I'm zero enc (like most undead) and rarely take a critical hit
I benefit tremendously from a simple lucky amulet,
I have the slots to use whatever gear that you can forge for me,
From Winged Boots to Aegis or a Vine Shield to a Brand or three.

I've resistances respectable, most Hydras find me affable,
A Niefel Giant's cold aura to me is merely laughable.
In short in matters economic, tactical, and Bog-beast huggable[1]
I am the very model of a cheap generic thuggable!

[1] Can't leave out the Bog Beast love. Besides, none of the other rhymes I thought of made any sense either. And the scansion is terrible. If you want GOOD poetry go read Poe or Kipling: http://www.wargames.co.uk/Poems/Grave.htm
