I wasn’t even expecting it (since we won’t have unique units or Wonders…) so I was surprised to find AOE1 civs will have a theme (I don’t know if AOE:DE features this).
I F’in loved it. Most of them bring that epic, mysterious mood I associate with Ancient times, especially civs like Sumerians, Babylonians and Phoenicians.
Also, the Yamato one sounds like the intro for some Metallica song from the first albums lol
These are indeed new for this DLC I especially love the Hitties and Yamato ones.
Not a dev, but… just get the DLC and see the AoE 2 Romans as a “What if…?” scenario, much like the good old Mayan vs Korean battle over the lone star state you were able to play back in 2000 when Conquerors launched
This music is both used in Civ for the Greeks, and Farya Faraji played and sang it
So yes we know what ancient greek music sounded like, some greek writers also described it in great detail, but I assume not all civs are as well documented.
