This game, in many ways, made me the person I am today. Thanks to the amazing (rather limited, but fascinating for a child) encyclopedia of different races, this game is one of the things that hooked me on reading and learning more about the world around us. Just like you, I also started playing it at 6 or 7. I vividly remember how my dad told me "son, you're not a little kid anymore, stop playing those childish quests, come and try this one for a change." And so I started playing the William Wallace campaign, and it really lured me in. Unfortunately, the version of my game was not activated (I think I lost the activation code or maybe the version was a bootleg one, so it didn't even have the code inside) and, therefore, very limited (only the William Wallace campaign was open, because it was free to play, I guess), but I figured out a bug that allowed me to play all the campaigns without paying for the code (after losing any mission in the William Wallace campaign, you would be kicked right into the campaign choosing window). My favorite campaigns were the El Cid Campaign and the Saladin Campaign (I guess, I really loved the exotic 'heat' of them, meaning that all the maps were tropically-themed, although, I also loved the Vikings mission from the Conquistadors, and, to be frank, I also hated the Franks' missions, dunno why). About 15 years after starting to play it for the first time, I finally bought this game myself. I don't play it anymore, because of how much time and energy it sucked out of me in my early twenties, but man, returning to this music from time to time makes me feel so cheerful, especially when I'm learning programming. P.S. I also love Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, which took the AoE2 gameplay to another level!

Its '99, my grandfather finally bought me a videogame at a German version of Bestbuy because of the demo kiosk (Ah! History based stuff, castles, knights, not those cockroaches you keep fighting *starcraft was confusing to him*). We come home, he has three 100W speakers set up to listen to Elvis in the livingroom/study/office, they are plugged in to the PC. The baseline kicks in. Grandfather happy about the audio setup, the game audio, but not the windows vibrating. Happier times. Now crunching numbers, doing analytics, can come back to these tunes, focus and have good nostalgia help cut though the mundane work.

I really like that they put in the effort to remake these tracks too even though they weren't in the main game, since I like them a lot. I remember Gyam Shorts especially. You can find older versions of Bust here on KZread, search "Bust (Give the Drummer Some Mix)".

It is rare for me to dislike something related to my childhood, but goodamn, the messed up big time with this soundtrack, i remember in the early 1999 when the game was freshly done there was a variation of the original soundtrack but with better acustic real instruments and real church bells, but they got changed asap ( and they where together in a demo ), still trying to recover those pristine ost from the game with no resoult today.

I want so bad see the making of the Main Theme music of the DE, to see the percussion people dancing with this amazing rhythm would be amazing. (The percussion reminds me of Olodum/Samba percussion here in Brazil). The second track is so Assassin's Creed 2, so beautiful.

Keep coming back for the Bovinian Derivative , such bliss 1:26:46
