Music

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.

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)
• pre-game & voting period
• first few minutes
• after the first few minutes (currently no music at all)
• commander sudden-death mode
• post-game (win)
• post-game (loss)

Potentially, there could be a full in-game soundtrack if enough songs are created. This would be completely optional for the people that don't like music while they play.

Potential Sources of Inspiration

Disclaimer: These are not official, merely suggestions by community members

• MechWarrior 2 Songs on Youtube
• Iron Grip: The Oppression
• Battlefield 1942

Ideas

• Hold a music contest for the community if we can get enough interested participants.
• Ask other mods that already have music if their artists want to contribute to Empires as well.
