Triggered Battle Music

[wherearewe]

It would be fantastic if battle music would trigger when invasions begin. I love the regular tracks, but they actually work against the intended intensity of mass invasions. We need some kind of tribal, battle drum music when the storytelling AI launches assaults against us.

Yes it would! !

There already is different music specifically for battles.

It was a bit odd in my previous game. I had a couple of resource-gathering colonies consisting of nothing more than a hut and with no permanent residents. These colonies would still get raids when there was no-one there. So I'd be on my main base map, which would be peaceful but with the battle music playing as one of the empty huts was getting attacked on another map. I think I had a vice versa also - raid on my main base, yet non-battle music playing.

Funny, I literally just got done fixing the Old Gods music pack not even 10 minutes ago. Anyway, you can make certain songs play when it is day, night, or when it is "tense." Here is an example from one of my lists. The only combination I haven't seen is if you can have tense music set for day or night time. I know I could try it, but I have so many other things I'm tweaking at the moment, I promise I will forget once I finally get into the game!
