Music

I love this game but some of the music is absolutely unbearable in my opinion. I have another game "Revolution Under Seige" it is about the Russian Revolution and I think the music is spot on PERFECT for this game. I found the mp3 song files for that other game - can i just drop them into this game folder somewhere or is it a more complicated process than that? I am NOT a computer guy i don't know much about this stuff.

I looked a little bit through the forum and saw a similar question but the answer was in German.

thank you

i dont know, but you can alt+tab out of the game and use windows media player or vlc player and then play all the music files and alt+tab back into the game and just let the music play in the background.
OR you can maybe go to the online music streaming service named spotify and find the music you want to hear and make a play list.
( super pro tip.. if you use firefox and install Adblocker addon then it will block the audio commericals that play now and then on spotify so you only hear music ;-) )

There is a couple of audio mods in the workshop, you may want to contact the authors. I would help you but i just took a look at the files and the format (.xwma), i have absolutely no ideia how to convert.

thanks. Yeah the formats are different, Its no big deal I just play the music separately.

(I HIGHLY recommend that game's music here for the proper atmosphere. in my opinion of course)

Outstanding recommendation, comrade!

To be fair, the soundtrack is simply music by the Red Army Choir. They have a bunch of high-quality recordings that fit the atmosphere really well. Having tried to replace the audio files myself, I must agree with Delle. It's just easier to run Spotify or another music player on the background.

You should also check out Sovietwave and traditional balalaika bands! ;)

Yes the choir music is awesome even though if i knew what they were saying i would probably hate it hehe. But it is beautiful and totally appropriate for this game.

I just can't take the weird carnival-like songs in this one.

Just don’t forget to rename extension name from .xwm to .xwma

It seems that the "OST" is just a series of Soviet recordings of revolutionary songs and marches – which are without question excellent. How they are more suitable for a game set in the 1960s and onwards than the game's (actually original) soundtrack is beyond me, but to each his own.

Like I said - i just don't enjoy half the tracks that sound like goofy cartoon carnival songs. If that is what the Soviets were listening to in the 60's i'm surprised the wall didn't fall 20 years sooner.

Music appreciation is obviously subjective, but Red Army guys singing revolutionary songs and marches seems perfectly appropriate for a game about building a Soviet republic to me.

Track 27 is really nice in this game. However, Iyou are absolutely correct about the excellent music also for AGEOD's Revolution Under Siege. The Internationale, the Marsellaise sung by the Leningrad State Institute of Culture and, of course, the Soviet National Anthem :)
