^Nice article.  Again, I can't wait for this game!   ;D

There is already a very good soundtrack but for some reason at present it only plays intermittently and at higher zoom levels. I am sure it will be sorted out.

Interesting - practically the first option I select in any new game is music "off".

+1 In most games I find the music distracting and turn it off.

I generally lower it to where it doesn't detract from the game, if possible.   If there's no volume control, it generally just gets turned off.

I like when a strategy game has a nice catchy, warbeat-esque soundtrack (or something otherwise fitting) that gets me in the mood to march into enemy territory and start some big fights.  I prefer the music to be a bit simplistic and repetitive as to not be distracting, but not so repetitive as to get annoying quickly.

The soundtracks in WarPlan, Field of Glory: Empires, and Dominions 5 all come to mind.  They're catchy enough to be fun to listen to on their own, but not too distracting to disrupt your rhythm of play.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Music off.  Spotify playlist on.  Nothing like grinding your enemies into dust to 'War Pigs,' or, '...And Justice For All.'

I'd go with Bolt Thrower's "IVth Crusade" as my preferred "war metal" soundtrack, but I can get behind this sentiment (and awesome classic picks) wholeheartedly  :knuppel2:  \m/

I consider myself pretty well versed in music and I have never heard of this.

Same and same, Gus.  Sounds like fairly well enunciated growlcore.  I dig the label name in the bottom right hand corner.  "Earache my eye! If you don't get up and get ready for school, you're going to have a butt ache!!"
