Soundtrack Refinery thanks mate! Developers used that song mostly in their marketing videos (for instance when they showcased the mycinien heroes and the troyan ones)
Hmm, this song sounds more like something that could fit in a Battlefield game. Would never have guessed that it came from a Troy themed game. A good song, nevertheless.
It is a game about an ancient war, that ended many thousands of lives and turned one of the most prosperous cultures of the time into the dust. It is suitable for it to sound a bit dark and grief.
This does not come from nothing: The soundtrack seems to be heavily inspired by early 2000s Hans Zimmer, who also made the soundtrack to the Batman movies as far as I know. It also heavily borrows from Gladiator, another Hans Zimmer OST.
Generic music the genericness, the blandest main menu theme of a total war game I have ever heard, this could easily be a Call of Duty or Transformers or Batman game theme...
I liked the game. Don't get me wrong, it is a crash-y application right now, but I guess, with patches, it'll all be okay. After the grand scale of 3k and WH2, this smaller, focused campaign is really fun.
The soundtrack isn't even fit for the game imo. Better suited for a Michael Bay movie. The only good thing I found in this anti-hyping game is the return of the option to give territories via diplomacy.
