Overview

Empires currently has a small amount of music, and we are looking to expand on this. Being a freely available mod, there is no budget to pay for a 'professional', so please refrain from posting offers that require such funds. Also note that songs will not be used without express permission from the authors, and authors will receive full credit for their pieces, if used.

Feel free to add yourself or other information to this page.

What is music needed for?

Empires is divided into various segments:

  • Main menu (probably won't change)
  • First few minutes ("breakout" period) -- more variety would be awesome
  • Countdown to sudden death (300 seconds) -- maybe
  • Sudden death mode -- something dramatic for a couple minutes, maybe multiple ones to be randomly chosen
  • Win/loss music -- open to proposals, but not urgent
