Companies worth 100 times what Paradox is still failing to even come close to the level of gameplay that Paradox produces. The music in this game is absolutely 10/10, like all of their games. A friend of mine said they actually play CK2 in one of their lectures to learn history. Anyway, keep it up Paradox, love your games, love your business model, hope you do well and aren't bought out in the end, you have a huge chunk of players that worship you.
Also, can you add an option to newer versions of games where you can enable the old soundtrack? I got the newest CK2 DLC and I would love to play the old soundtrack on it. Thanks!
I don't think so. There are more impressive games I've played such as skyrim where you can enjoy various contents. 'The witcher' and 'Tomb raider' are also deserved to be named as the most well - made games in the world.
Aftermath is great. No matter what kind of crazy shit is going down in the game right now, once this song plays it can't be that bad as it is all part of god's glorious plan.
i dont play the games my sons used to.. i think that the music is awsome ..and i feel majestic riding into battle ...the music sweeps you away and you feel feelings ..you cant imagine .. i close my eyes and i am ..there with my army .....fighting for freedom conqering new lands all the soundtracks are magnificant ...❤️
I have 500 hours in this game and I still LOVE IT! This is and will always be my favorite game, ever. I love you Paradox, without you and your games and music my life would simply be less fun than it is now. Thank you, much love.
Hey Paradox! Just wanted to thank you for making my favorite study music of just about ever. Keeps me awake enough to focus, and sounds great to boot. :D Also, thank you for making CK2 to begin with. It's an absolutely incredible game.
When I first launched CK 2 I had a shit computer, and it took so long to load the game that the title screen with the world map popped up RIGHT at 1:20. From that moment on I was sold to all Paradox games, good memories.
The main title is just epic! Thank you Paradox Interactive for making this masterpiece, I absolutely love it! I've just began playing this game, I've been a hardcore player of the Total War series, but this game has so much more depth to it: a whole religion system, a deeper taxes system, you need to take care of your spouses (marry them etc) and mush more! I've just grasped the surface of this game, I absolutely love it!
I started DEMO for the first time... I was at the main menu wondering what I need to do... Then this started to play 2:02 ... I instantly decided that F*CK DEMO! I need to buy FULL VERSION!.... Still getting cold vibes when hearing that when game starts :D
The first couple hours of this game may be a bit of a confusing slog but with some dedication, this game has easily become one of my top 10 in just a couple weeks. I already have 50 hours (~40 in the first two weeks of owning it)! It just sucks you in with the nebulous politics of your realm and leads to the most interesting events and is just damn fun.
Andreas is waaay underrated. His music is recurring (from game to game) masterpiece. Unfortunately Paradox games are too niche for him to be properly exposed. I might buy EU IV just for the soundtrack.
I kept seeing "let's plays" on CK2 by people like Arumba and quil18 and I'm like "I need to check this game out. Go to steam see its on sale for 9.99 and get it. When I'm loading it up for the first time and that theme starts playing I go "ok this game is not messing around folks" Obviously very well done.
same! i have 38 hours on it so far... and STILL no clue on what i am doing. Do want someone to play with? search The Nutcracker on steam! like seriously i need a buddy to help me out with this game XD
Oh, you sweet summer child. This is the type of game that you start on at 5, planning to take an hour after school to relax, then look outside and realize it's four in the morning. At any rate, if you're having trouble figuring it out, try going off ironman and enabling cheats. It allows you to get a grasp on the mechanics without worrying so much about the minutia, I think.
Been looking for a game this deep for ages. But at last CK II seems to have what I'm looking for and much more. It's an added bonus to have such a beautiful sound track. The best I've heard for any game. It could be an OST for a movie epic. CK II the movie anyone?
Brising Conan Click the settings button (the gear symbol from where you can change the resolution). There's a drop-down menu which you can use to change the speed.
when I loaded up CK2 for the first time and this theme washes over me through the speakers I was like: dang, they're serious about this game. What beautiful music.
Horns of Hattin and Aftermath is still one of the Top 5 soundtrack pieces for ANY MEDIUM (film, games, whatever) BAR. NONE. An absolute chills-inducing Masterpiece.
@@ForgottenArmy1944 I'm glad, yes Ck3 is visually beautiful and has a much stronger engine, but as you said the content of the DLC is not there. I was even shocked that they didn't even import the nomadic governments from ck2 into Ck3. With the republics I can understand it, in Ck2 they are really unbalanced with a good player. But that they themselves have simplified the laws now yes strongly I also found disappointing. But that with the religions and soon cultures I find again good. But as you also said in 4 years at the latest you can look in there again in Ck3 and until then Ck2 play with mods. Have heard the "Ck2+" mod is great, have this then also translated into German.

I grew up in Saxony and have remained in Saxony in the city of Leipzig all my life. I also hope that Paradox brings in more depth in the new DLC.
+Paradox Interactive Well? Where are they? It's been a year since you commented on this. The other guy that had all the DLC songs either deleted his channel or you guys shut him down. I like the Byzantine, New World, and Republican songs but you don't have them here, and I don't have access to spotify all the time. It's easier to listen on a youtube playlist while i'm in the library studying, and frankly I can't help but feel irritated right now.
TheLuckBrothersTV I did buy them, for the game. The point is listening to them outside of the game. Plus, they'd earn more revenue off youtube if they just upload the damn DLC songs here. There's no point in not having them here by now.
Don't tell anyone, but we just bought that from a stock music site for $20 or so for the trailer because it was so EXTREME. -super secret paradox trailer secrets-
All I imagine when I hear Saladin besiges Jerusalem is the army marching over a hill in the morning just appearing to the Crusaders then the Crusaders are scared and attacked and its just so cool!
Not in the least because one of these songs is pretty much a rip off of one of the kingdom of heaven soundtrack. Or, as they call it, very very very deeply inspired by such score.
