Nation theme songs
 
During the Mists of Time in early 2010, I began associating the song Cloud Connected with EA-Vanheim, the nation that I was commanding. It brought thoughts of sneaky, cloud trapezing Vanjarls to my mind.

I've come to realise
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected
Cloud connected
My chief enemy was EA-Atlantis, who built a sprawling underwater empire and who I viewed as the biggest threat.

Quote:

Hold your breath, swim and strain
The smell of death, can't escape
Blood will cloud and drift away
Attract the murders of Murmaids
It's so cold they all know

What you've done, you can't run
Vengeance is the law for thee
A thousand leagues below the sea
You've been tracked, you've been seen
Murdering the next of kin
Ate their hearts drank their blood

Washed your fins in blackened mud
Now you swim try to hide
Heart beats faster from inside
Thought it was a big charade
Your life was ended by Murmaids.
I didn't know this, but they actually made a second Murmaider, and the lyrics are clearly Dominions themed.

Quote:

Your life has transformed, your power has grown
You minions stretch for leagues,
for a bloody coral throne

A crown of murdered foes, will sit upon your head
Those that wish to challenge you
Will wish that they were dead

The beasts of the sea will collect and submit
Pray for your forgiveness, and live as you permit

And you'll say:
I am the Water God
Mists of Time ended with a giant deathmatch tournament since we were playing a 450 province map with something like 16 nations.

I am in a new game now, playing Sauromatia, but have not yet been inspired by a theme song for that nation.

Does anyone have a good one? Does anyone else have theme songs go through their heads for different nations in this game?

Different kind of music, but as MA Ermor I like the good old Dead Can Dance. I even named my first Prophet "Dead can Dance" in latin.

For MA Agartha I enjoy turning on some deep traditional orienal percussions, such as the Persian Daf, mixed with slow electro-sufi music.

For MA Shinumaya, nothing original: a selection of traditional far-eastern music, mixed with music of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

For MA Pythium, I had included in the mix some choirs playing Vivaldi with a clear mystical touch.
