Sengoku Jidai combined thread

Watched some of Hof's vids and have a question.

The music in the background was of a more happy nature, which was a bit odd to my ears, with a bloody battle raging.   ;D   I normally turn music off, but not so in historically-based games with appropriate cultural music, because that's about the only time music adds to a game's immersion for me.

Anway.. to the question...

Does this have some of the awesome Japanese drum & percussion ensemble music in it?  The Kumi-daiko or shime-daiko stuff?  Really enjoyed the few that have been in other games.  I'd happily run just that in the background of any wargame!   Because it's amazing. O0

There are 4 battle music.  One tense taiko drum.  One Heroic (Happy as you say).  One Noble.  One sneaky / danger.  Decided not to put classical non-taiko music because they are calm in nature. The rest of the three are generic Asian because the setting is not just Japan.  Sad to say, the music are not historical but more modern and movie-like to catch a wider audience.  Period music does not suit battle.

Modding tip: If you hate the rest and just want the taiko, just delete them form the music folder.  Some said that hearing the taiko for an hour drove them nuts.

Yeah, I didn't expect stuff literally from the period.  Often not suitable.  I would've turned off the CK2 music quickly, if it had the true terrible medieval music in it, for example.

They complained after an hour of taiko?  Sounds like those lightweights should just put their "easy listening" Air Supply and Barry Manilow music back on!  This is WAR!  Not Saturday in the Park!   :))

Jomni any plans to cover the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 1590s with a scenario or campaign at some point?

It's already in.  A set of Historical Scenarios and a Dynamic Campaign on the Imjin War. It's featured in Das Tactic YouTube channel.
The title is a misnomer but Slitherine prefers a specific reference to Samurai warfare.

[Gusington]

Wow! Really excited to have that scenario in...and a dynamic campaign! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

EDIT: Jeez am I getting olde. I already asked that above question months ago and it's also listed in the first bullet of game features. Carry on.

I also hit my maximum memory storage capacity awhile back, on the gray matter.  Now, every time I learn something new, some of the old stuff has to be erased to make room.  :))

But when my Alzheimer's eventually kicks in, I won't have much of the old memories left to work with!

You'll never be bored!

Just a question - is it entirely possible Matrix Games is "going"?

Looking at their Coming Soon list makes for some very dire reading. And the link for this game shoots off to Slitherine's page. Is the takeover merger coming into it's final stages?

Pure speculation and only posted here because I was looking at this game and automatically went to Matrix Games forums to check on it
