Default What do you listen to while playing Dom3?

I was wondering how many of you guys stick with the background music or put something of your own on. I've been listening to CDs of the Gladiator theme music, as well as a Wagner compilation called 'Twilight of the Gods'. Both seem very appropriate and go well with the game IMO.

So anyone got any more recommendations?

Somehow I feel that Blackmore's Night feel appropiate to this game. Don't know why... I also like the music of Nightwish when slaughtering big ugly Niefelheim Giants in my cuurent 1-1 MP game against my friend.

Hmm, I've listened to the game soundtrack which is excelent, Okami soundtrack which is fitting for Jomon and such and Laibach which is...well, it doesn't quite fit the era in most of the cases.

I'm more one for listening to instrumental background music. Movie soundtracks usually. Currently I have the soundtrack of 'Das Parfum' in my cd player.

Other than that, Lord of the Rings or sometimes Apocalyptica.

Wagner never was one of my favourites, but you might want to try Orffs 'Carmina Burana', it has some very good pieces.

I dont tend to play music in the background. I like to listen to music when I play music (eyes shut, fantasizing my own videos).

But if I did, Id probably play Enya (when Im playing something like Pangaea or Jotunheim) and probably Enigma for most of the others. In a blitz game it might be Big Bad VooDoo Daddys in order to keep my energy level up.

The game's music
Dominion 3's music is actually really good, especially since there is more than one track (Yep, looking at you dom2), and I just haven't reached the point when I just have to replace it with something else.

Also, I don't have anything thematic to replace it with, so I'd just end up playing with AC/DC in the background O_o

If I were to show my age Id mention Yes and Uriah Heep. Particularly Uriah Heep has pieces which totally fit the RPG side of this game.

Early Age:
The Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack. (Rest in peace, Basil Poledouris )

Middle Age: Rock music. (I don't play too much Middle Age...feels too much like D2!)

Late Age: Nine Inch Nails.
