National Anthems/ or bands

[Xendarq]

I tend to listen to albums/bands rather than particular songs - a few seemed appropriate:

C'tis - Thy Serpent/'Swampsong' by Kalmah

Mictlan - 'Blood Ritual' or 'Ceremony of Opposites' by Samael (Lord Belial or Belphegor works here as well)

Ermor - 'Cause of Death' by Obituary

Marignon - Cathedral (Anathema might work)

Abysia - In Flames

Jotunheim - They Might be Giants !!!???

Caelum - 'Blizzard Beasts' by Immortal

Pangaea/Man - Pantheist/'Forest Poetry' by Ildjarn/Carpathian Forest/In the Woods

[Nargel Primus]

I'd say the perfect band for R'lyeh is
obvious: the 60's group "H.P Lovecraft".
And yes, it is named after the author.

Mmh. I constantly switch through my CD's while playing different nations. Holst' Planets went with Pythyium, and it's a nigood fit. Apocalyptica, goes with just about every battle, but I like'em especially with ermor or abysia.

Therion's ... darn forget the name,latest album goes very well with Ulm (Schwarzalbenheims Gewürm ...)or Hoburg Alliance.

"Sign of the Hammer" album by Manowar goes very well with Jotunheim, Though my favorit for them is definately Finntroll!

With pangea I went with Loreena Mckennitt and Blind Guardian.

Man is also Blind Guardian or Avantasia

Arcos ... In Extremo or Corvus Corax

But to any faction I hear a lot of movie soundtracks like LotR, The Crow, 13th Warrior, Gladiator, Henry V, Conan or Warlock (I)just to name a few.

Yep, Finntroll is just right for Jotunheim, I'm not sure why though...

There're surprisingly many mentions of various metal bands here. Is it that people associate Dominions with metal music or is it that dominions players only listen to metal?

[Stab West]

It would apear that Metal is the preferred sound of Dom2 players. I also like that you can change the audio settings to play metal during the battle sequences.

[Karacan]

Well, half the Dominions II players are hardcore wargamers, while the other half are crazed fantasy freaks. Most fantasy freaks I know (at least the males) sooner or later make one contact or another with Metal.

I am more in line with Dark Wave, but that's probably my personal preference of dark fantasy things. Ah well. With this little demographic european insight, back to the topic.

Ermor: Cradle Of Filth - Her ghost in the fog.
Pangea: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons.
Man: Sorten Muld

[Ironhawk]

Ummmm... my musical taste isnt that varied, so I cant make suggestions there....

BUT

I do think it would be abo****ely hilarious to have National Band units for each of the nations! Imagine your hordes of infantry and SCs all lined up ready for war. And then a handful of musicians up front jamming out your anthem before the fight. Hahhaha
