Music in Doms 3 is superb.

Actually the sounds in dom3 annoy me somewhat. For example the slingers firing sound and the female dying sound are louder than pretty much everything else and really grating. On top of that dom3 has very, very bare sound options (no ingame volume control etc).

The music is something I enjoyed initially. But it's too much of the same. Same deal with,.. say,.. Europa Universalis. So it's not that it's bad music, it's just there's no variety.

What sound? It has none. Not on the global Map. On the world map we should hear the sea roaming in water provinces, arcane laboratories could make a sound too when clicking on it...and so on. So detail is lacking here definately. In combat there exist some sound at least and death screams of women is among my favourites.

I kinda like hearing all the high pitched battle sounds. Nothing is better then when you mass an army of Serpent Dancers and they all attack in unison. HISSSHISSHISSHSISHISHSSHIISSSS

Or Troglodytes.

Slaughtering girls is fun too.

my favourite is the evil noise when arch bishop of eldegrate casts protecthion of the sepulchre on some thousands soulless that hasn't changed since dom1.

The death screams of the amazon women are my favourites but I generally play with the sound off. It gets annoying very quickly.

My favorite sound is elephants trumpeting and humans splattering.

I like the music too, although at this point, it's getting a little repetitive to me-not because of the songs themselves, or the type of music, but because their aren't that many.

Any chance we'll be getting more variety of music in a future patch?

As far as I can figure out, all of the sounds in the game (including the music) can be swapped. There is a linux program called sox (SOund eXchange) which will convert mp3 and wav to all of the formats that are used in the dominions3/rawsound directory. Unfortunately the quick and dirty tests I did were not very satisfatory. Doing
sox hack-slash-chop.mp3 testing.al
did create the format but playing it back sounded real strange. Very slow. The sox program does have a thousand switches for controlling all that but Im not in a hurry to mess with them. Too much on my list of things to mess with already. If anyone finds the proper settings to convert an .mp3 to an .al (for music) or .wav to .sm (sound effect) then that would be great.

Yeah, I'd like to add Mozart's Magic Flute to the game, maybe for MA.
