War Horns

[Vsk]

Hello guys, I wanted to ask you guys something about the game sounds.

I have always been in love with wars, the way they were fought and blood. But, most importantly, I love those war horns.

If you mean what are those war horns I am talking about, you guys maybe aware of the sound that is produced when you order your troops to move, attack, or any sort of orders in a battle. I love that sound.

If you guys know what's it called historically and generally, please let me know, I am trying my best to get those sound effects.

Literally same, nothing cooler than hearing that ♥♥♥♥ blast as your troops charge in.

I think the Celtic warhorn was called the 'Carnyx'.

Thank you,

Does anyone know a way to extract these sound files?

The carnyx is a very specific type of war horn, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auR-lJfzTeY these big badasses. Carnyces were later adopted by Romans as well (though they were changed a bit, and probably mostly used by Romans who were themselves Celts in the mid-to-late Imperial era).
Here is a reproduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IlZgj2FAHA of a Roman cornu/cornum (sometimes called a cornicen, though that was the actual person using the cornu).
There is also the buccina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvIVFp3pe0Y

As Haddon showed, just search on YouTube.

There are some really cool reproductions of these ancient instruments nowadays.

Such audio files can be found from ancientmusicireland dot com. Granted, these are "Irish," but all indicators are that this type of instrumentation would have produced similar sound all over western and central, and even parts of southern, Europe.

Given the very slow spread of the La Tene into Ireland, those are probably almost exactly what showed up all over Europe. By the time the cultural differentiation of "Celts" got to Ireland, it was definitely spread from Britain to Spain, all the way over to like...modern Bulgaria maybe? I always struggle with exactly where the lines of modern states are, but probably Bulgaria, if not definitely to Serbia.

Kind of blows me away how successful the Celts were with no centralized authority, and no political system that gave them a standing army. The Celts, the (very early) Chinese, and the Greeks are the only ones I can think of that were so successful and lasting.

Yeah, it is very interesting. I think the search for Indo European origins is one of the most fascinating historical debates, because the Indo European expansion and subsequent dominance of the "Old Europeans" is key: this preceded the later, classically Celtic cultures, and to what extent this was dependent on warfare techniques is very intriguing, for example, the development of bronze weapons.

There is an idea called, "Celtic from the West," which posits peoples moving along the coasts, or 'Atlantic zone,' from Anatolia-Levant up to Britain and what would be central Gaul, then expanding by both direct movement and cultural diffusion eastward. In other words, the islands of Britannia actually become the proto-Celtic heimat in this model, not Central Europe.

Dr. Barry Cunliffe is the guy most usually credited with developing this idea:

One of the intriguing aspects here, imo, is how the ancient origin stories and myth cycles accord with the 'Atlantic zone, migratory model.'

This is interesting

What about the horns the Hunnic and nomads use? That's my personal favorite

Hey guys, just asking if anyone here has some kind of access to the game files to get the war horns? I really wanna hear to them

[Badger BrownCoat]

great posts on music up there- wife was looking up *norse* throat-singing of all things;
always associate that with the the steppes

ok, as to the OP:
you're going to need a PFM ( pack file manager ) - or other tool; but
i recommend the modder-made tool: the TWCenter chaps made [www.twcenter.net]

once you've that, look in data, attila.pack

you'll extract those - they'll be in WEM ( WWise; WaveWorks Interactive Sound Engine ) format;
some VLC versions can read it, else try something like this - hand little tool a fella threw together.

Tested it, got a " hooyah" or some such-

anyhow, knock yourself out.

... now; about those Ostrogths ...

yeah,the war sound in attila when moving troops or attacking does not sound anything like the vidoes posted....so it leads me to believe that they used some type of instrument in a closed echoed room....

but what was the war horn used for the roman troops in this game and how did they do it in the behind the scene or studio???do they show how they did it?
