Music of the Crusades

I wanted to give AoC a more authentic medieval feel, I think having a music that you love is a very important to play in the greatest conditions possible.
So I carefully ripped up in MP3 (only audio format that works on AoE2HD) a vinyl of mine with great medieval music. Although it's mainly XIIIth century-centered - between the IVth and IXth Crusades -, I find it awesome to play with it, loving the Crusades feel that is really ideal while warring on AoC. I just reduced the volume of -6.02 dB (half-quieter) in order to let the game sounds breathe.

Here's the tracklist (52:03):

I. La Quinte estampie real - The Early Music Consort Of London
II. Pax in nomine domini! - Nigel Rogers
III. Parti de mal - James Bowman
IV. Chevalier, mult estes Guariz - Geoffrey Shaw
V. Chanterai por mon corage - Christina Clarke
VI. Danse real - The Early Music Consort Of London
VII. Sade Syon, in pulvere - Nigel Rogers
VIII. Palästinalied - James Bowman
IX. Condicio - O Nacio - Mane Prima
X. O tocius Asie - James Bowman
XI. La uitime estampie real - The Early Music Consort Of London
XII. Cµm sint difficilia - Nigel Rogers
XIII. Li noviaus tens - James Bowman
XIV. Fortz chausa es que tot lo major dan - Nigel Rogers
XV. Je ne Puis - Amors me tienent - Veritatem - James Bowman
XVI. Ahi! Amours - Nigel Rogers
XVII. La Tierche estampie real - The Early Music Consort Of London
XVIII. Ja nus hons pris - James Bowman
XIX. Au tens plain de felonnie - Nigel Rogers

Bonus: download a XX. track, for 1:00:54 of additional music! This countains Age of Empires II: the Age of Kings and The Conquerors soundtrack, attenuated of -6.02 dB and repitched to A = 432 Hz for a warmer, soothing medieval tone. I can't integrate it to the mod since Steam Workshop limits the file size of their mods around 100 MB, which is stupid.

I hope you'll enjoy it. Time to get real medieval!
