What sort of Music would each faction listen to?
« on: May 21, 2015, 11:46:58 am »
So, it appears that I am becoming quite a philosopher but, As a Keyboardist and Bard, I am curious:

What soft of Music would each faction (Yesha Empire, Arashi League,  Mercantile Guild, Order of Chaladon, Anglean Republic and Fjord Baronies) listen to?

Also, what instruments - if any, would they use?

I am of the opinion that the Anglean Republic are big fans of Viking Metal such as Vulgaris Magistralis:

In fact I used to blast that song in lobby when ever my galleon (of the same name) just won a game.

Since the Angeleans have access to pre cataclysm tech it would make sense for them to have electric guitars and speakers. Or maybe I am trying too hard to justify my love of Metal and Ancient Scandinavian culture within this game.

If Angleans are doing heavy metal, all the more reason why I'd join them

I'm hoping the Baronies get some Lord of the Rings type music.

I'm hearing a little bit of Ayreon in this song. I like it!

I believe the Arashi League would have more of an Arabic/Indian influence like the Ura from Bastion, who had these two songs to represent them:

As much as i appreciate Metal, the Angleans ain't listening to such stuff.

They are listening dark, celtic folklore :P

I think Tink has a point, infact I imagine most the music in the world will be similar to traditional music over modern music. 
Abgleans Celtic folk music, or Morris dancing tunes... 8)

Angleans aren't celtic though. More scandinavian. Perhaps more LoTR type music?

Well, I did once hear a song described as "Celtic metal", does this fit either description?

(mobile links are iffy, click at your own risk. The song is sirona by miracle of sound if the link doesn't work)

Are we talking about the faction itself (general populace and such) or just the madmen aboard the ships? :D

I really can't imagine a whole civ listening to some kind of "extreme" for centuries. They still got feelings right? :D
