@@KalinoursEU That just makes the game boring, except dwarves they are real threat if you play vampires or empire since they are closer to your border, besides i dont usually play the empire due to their common looks when it compared to other races.
I consider this to be the theme of Warhammer Fantasy. A doomed dark world, where the peasantry of the old world are the first and last line of the defense from the dark gods who wish to see the world ripped asunder. Where men trust each other very little, and other races even less. Where men are close to the corrupting force of chaos, and where men of power greedily neglect their people. Where the only thing that makes a man in this time is Faith, Steel, and Gunpowder. This is the doomed world, of Warhammer Fantasy.
@@halit147 Actual lore, as well as a huge number of official Warhammer Fantasy novels (which are VERY strictly regulated, by the way) has Archaon's horde breaking at Middenheim and the End Times being averted in an event titled the Storm of Chaos. As an example, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd edition (also known as WFRP 2e) takes place during this period. They literally just retconned over a decade's worth of rulebooks, Black Library lore tomes, and novels, just to sell a new line of minis and introduce the awful mess known as Age of Sigmar. The lack of sense in this is evident from how poorly written the End Times books are, with characters acting completely different than they do in their own books (because they brought unrelated authors to write about them) and things just falling apart as soon as you know a thing or two about the lore.
This tune, coupled with endless hours of looking at the beautiful campaign map and planning Empire's desperate defenses against the endless, unstopabble Chaos forces made me fall in love with the game! I will always look back at it fondly
A patterned hedge framed by bushes of black roses hides dozens of crypts and tombstones. The rich and the poor, warriors and scientists ... all will find peace in the Morr's Gardens. The silent priest, having performed the necessary rituals, wanders to the chapel, guarded by gloomy templar knights. Nothing violates the silence of the dead garden. He will accept everyone and never let go back.
Yet the Vermin taint its holy ground, running rampant over the roses and desecrating the honored grave markers of remembrance. The Templars are missing, the priests all dead... what of Morr’s protection is left?
Whenever this tune plays, I always make a mental switch from being very focused on a single front to looking at the map entirely and just despairing over everything that has been lost so far and everything that will be lost in the endless struggle against the corrupt and the monstrous. It really made me realize that this isn't meant to be a simple game of chess with lifeless pieces. This is a world where thousands die every day because they had the audacity of being born a human. This is a game where your choices will result in hundreds of deaths regardless of the option you choose and the only reason you persist in because persistence is all you could hope for.
Best WH ambient. Heard it often while playing dwarves. Sounds epic, peacefull and sad. Everytime this tune plays, i suddenly stop and start looking around the map. And i see a big colourfull dying world. I close my eyes, feeling relaxed and at peace, but something hidden in the deep, reminds me that we payed an high price for that. A price payed in blood. Let's celebrate the victory today for we all may be dead tomorrow. Than the tune ends and i open my eyes. I see orcs coming from the world's edge mountains. Chaos descending once again from the north, besieging Praag. Dark clouds are covering a pale moon on Drakwald. Voices coming from the far south about ancient dead kings rising from their cold stone tombs buried in the sands. And the sound of thousands and thousands swifty paws is coming from beneath, in the lowest and darkest levels of our ancient keep, where only the bravest ironbreakers dare to patrol, keep me awake in the night. The end of times is coming.
Nothing sets the thematic mood of making so many critical decisions like the campaign music. Furrowing your brow as you try to balance economic advancement against that always inconvenient raiding death stack that suddenly shows up.
I was looking everywhere for this, thank you!! For the most part I'm a bigger fan of Jeff Van Dyck but some tracks in this game are pretty good, like this one.
This track reminds me of the good old Rome Total War campaign theme, Divinitus. And although this one has no lyrics unlike Divinitus, they both give me the same feeling: peacefulness.
I've actually heard this more during Vampire Count playthroughs, which just reminds me of the VC trailer where the Witch Hunter comes across the banshee singing in the forest... a deathly choir as a vampire lord or master necromancer strolls through a captured graveyard and calls back the fallen to serve.
@@smorcknight9547 ah maybe it was implemented differently in the second one then as I've definitely heard this whilst hovering over dark elf and vampire lands.
I think that I may also heard this in wh3, playing as Grand Cathay, I may be wrong but i think a couple of times happend (and I have played it for like 250hs) . I find it soothing, but also a bit sorrowful
@@peacheslamb3546 I used to do the same thing when I was a kid pirating video game music before I realized piracy was a thing. Didnt know the name? Made up a cool one
I am curious about the OST in WH1, 2 & 3... The same manner they have joined the dlcs, Have they also joined all the songs in the last partm WH3 ? There are a lot of songs and it is very difficult to discriminate if all the songs are present while you are playing the campaign, the battle,...
@@vothbetilia4862 My point is that while the original music still is in the game, it only plays from certain triggers, (like completing diplomacy, declaring war on, finishing a battle with, discovering a faction, so on) will make it play depending on the race, but it no longer just plays it by default while youre looking around on the campaign map. You just get the dynamic music stuff instead, which is meh
