Edi: You mean besides Dio, right?

Re: Listening to Music during gameplay
 

I have all of Dio's earlier albums on CD, and rather few of those songs bring to mind Dominions for me. Scarecrow on the other hand is a different story. It's probably the slower pace it begins with that does the trick. It's also 11 minutes and change in length.

Well, I'll definitely check it out.

You're right about the slower pace, that's harder to find in really good, thematic rock. Somebody should invent, like, "durge metal" or something, to mean metal that's slower, more Trance-like, with fantastic/midieval themes.

ES Posthumus?

Edi-I'm definitely digging Blackmore's Night over here.

Poopsi: oh yes! That's very good Dom 3 music!

Pompeii=EA Abyssia all the way.
Unstoppable=EA Caelum, with all the mammoths.
Odenall Pi=EA Arco?
Ebla=MA Ermor.
Lepsis Magna=EA Ermor
Menouthis=Possibly Sauromatia? definitely something for JimMorrison's lizard-king to dance to :).
Harappa=EA Atlantis.

Re: Listening to Music during gameplay
 

I quite like the default music, but Boom Boom Satellites, Devo or some other crazy fusion music is more to my taste. If I'm feeling particularly confident I'll turn any music off and sing the following words to the tune from Blackadder...

Crush maul crush maul crush maul crush,
Crush maul crush maul crush, I'll crush you,
Crush maul crush maul crush maul crush,
I'll crush, I'll crush, I'll crush, I'll crush you,

[chorus]
I'll crush you, I'll crush you,
'cos you are feeble and weak,
I'll crush you, I'll crush you,
Crush you into next week!

Alternatively, repeating the words "I'm the Greatest!" to the tune of Amazing Grace can have a similar effect. Is this a good time to request in-game voice comms?

Re: Listening to Music during gameplay
 

I think voice comms are a bit down the road, maybe in a few updates, or so?

In the meantime, it'd be great if there were a program that would somehow assign music on your computer to the different Nations in an MP game, so that it would play for you, as a theme song for whichever Nation you're playing--and when other Nations attacked you, it would play their theme.
