[@AgeOfWondersOfficial]

According to our notes, some of these tracks are combat themes, but which ones? 🤔

[@Volactic]

Seizing the Day better be one

[@kingofalabama4749]

I wonder which ones the combat themes?

[@L4sz10]

Anticipation

[@baimer2491]

Sovereignty, The Highlander, Anticipation.

[@oatbear8243]

Oh I dunno, maybe "Battle Hardened" :)

[@NGC4261]

To all who work on this game and the music, thank you for all your effort

[@Doflamingo757]

These devs are great. You can tell that they enjoy their work and want other people to love it too. It's nice to see people making games that are actual gamers and want people to have fun

[@frostburn195]

This was Triumph since all the way back to AoW 1. They're one of those few absolutely amazing devs!

[@marklion250]

My thoughts exactly

[@GG21188]

Rare these days which is bizarre

[@gnomishviking3013]

The original age of wonders soundtrack from 1999 is still my favourite OST of all time.

[@fallen969]

Mine too

[@HolyJonte]

For me: 1. Final Fantasy 7 2. Donkey Kong Country 2 3. Age of Wonders

[@rudesthazard5769]

Final Fantasy Tactics tho

[@frankwong726]

The OST this time does not sound like Age of Wonders....

[@leeboy26]

@@frankwong726 If you made me listen to this without telling me what it is and asked me what game series OST it belongs to I'd say Age of Wonders immediately. It's unmistakable.

[@collinjones8717]

1:37:19 Effortless Expansion 👌🏻🎻

[@ddenozor]

My cousin's son is around the age I first played Age of Wonders. It was way back when I played AoW1. I introduced him to Planetfall, which is obviously much more complex for a child to understand, but with a little guidance from me I think he liked it. Now AoW4 is coming and I believe we can play this together as he grows up.

[@churchillogbonna9010]

Make ur time together legendary

[@Joasoze]

This is the way. My son started watching and playing AoW 3 early and he still plays strategy in between the shooting games that all his friends plays. A couple of weeks ago he started on Civilization VI and he will probably play that until AoW 4

[@danieldeming]

This began autoplaying from my suggested videos in the background and, without seeing it, I thought, "That sounds like Age of Wonders" I suppose that means you nailed it 😅 Thanks for sharing

[@KeimpeJ]

Well he did write all scores for the series so, yeah... He probably nailed his own style.

[@L4sz10]

Finally a new set of background music for my ttrpg sessions 🧝‍♀️🧙‍♂️

[@kingofalabama4749]

I was so ready for this playlist

[@Sopel429]

Releasing full soundtrack before releasing the game, now that is what could be called a pro gamer move.

[@fallen969]

Yeah this was unexpected

[@ofon2000]

Also pretty cool how they released the expansion pass on steam before the expansions are available for play. So we get to pay for it early, while not being able to play!

[@m.maschler8883]

This is so great. These Tracks sends me back to my childhood games like Myst and Tone Rebellion: Leviathan or dune 2000. When you listen closely, you can hear samples from the various parts of the AoW4 series. At the same time, they manage to convey the feeling that a new chapter is about to be opened. Great work, I absolutely love the transitions and the echo. i put it right in the folder next to "kitaro" and "tangerine dream". Can't wait to play the game 🙂

[@boomerangfish3558]

I'm gonna listen to this for at least 2000 hours

[@MordredMorghul]

casually listening to this as I do other things, and the thought finally crosses my mind, "dammit, I just cannot wait for this game to come out!" I look at the title of the current song, and it's "Anticipation". You got me soundtrack, well played.

[@mariosvos7323]

"Fall Ascending" my favorite

[@kurtwechsel4465]

wonderful work - just took a little glimpse as I want to dive into it through the game

[@prez-e]

Morning Mist hits hard.

[@ight_of_heart]

Thank you for uploading this on KZbin!

[@emmathepony1992]

another masterpiece on its way

[@fallen969]

Listening track by track, Tidecast so far my fav

[@darkholyPL]

It's cool that you posted the soundtrack. Cheers!

[@mhjmstultiens]

Michiel, you're a hero.

[@djkunz95]

So many diverse and unique soundtracks! Can't wait to play with the music on full blast in a month!

[@grenadier0283]

Awesome. Fire song from AOW2 forever in my heart.

[@wizard380]

yep

[@Cowkill]

Absolutely excellent, I'm gonna find myself not playing and just listening to the soudtrack for ages (again). Thank you Michiel !

[@Joasoze]

This game seems like it will be my game of choice for years to come. My son and I cannot wait

[@churchillogbonna9010]

U can also do a stream on it when it comes out

[@Joasoze]

@@churchillogbonna9010 :) I am not a streamer at all, but an avid consumer of Strategy Games. I have preordered the expensive version with DLCs, they deserve the money and trust based on AoW 3. According to Steam my son and I have over 3000 hours....

[@Atheta426]

Thank you for making the soundtrack so easily accessible. Sphere of Influence is a banger

[@jsgoulet]

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much!

[@Hakkology]

This is the only AoW game that I entered with sincere interest ever since AoW 1. Unfortunately i missed AoW 3 but I can already tell that this is a game worth playing as it is. I already spent countless hours on story content. Looking forward to more.

[@wiefdiwbofdbw]

Should have tried AoW 2 then. AoW3+4 are failed games.

[@Hakkology]

@@wiefdiwbofdbw I played quite a bit of AoW2 Wizard's Throne actually, i'd say 4 is not so bad.

[@shadowrodney]

WOOOO THAT'S THE 2th thing we've been waiting for!

[@aorius899]

Sustained growth is simply the best!

[@misterinadequate3518]

I'm not usually into Game soundtracks, this one is an exception. I can't wait for launch day.

[@vde1846]

Wonderful, as always :)

[@THESTATIONFFH]

Amazing!

[@belongaskip]

What a boss move

[@beytran70]

Some of these tracks give me major Unreal Tournament and Deus Ex vibes, Alexander Brandon style. More early 2000s style synth music but with more modern instruments. The composer Michiel van den Bos I believed worked on some of those games as well, so glad he's going back to that. AoW3 I felt had a more generic fantasy style soundtrack, but this is much more unique.

[@MichielvandenBosMusic]

I did music for both Deus Ex (Unatco, Duclare Chateau among others) and Unreal Tournament (Foregone Destruction and a whole bunch of others) so you're absolutely right :)

[@beytran70]

@@MichielvandenBosMusic I had this confirmed by one of the devs on the Discord as well, so glad my ears were not deceiving me. Love these tracks, they'll help make the wait for the game itself just a bit easier!

[@Cowkill]

@@MichielvandenBosMusic These are some huge references !

[@saltyyshow]

God I can’t wait to record this game lmao, it comes out right before a cruise I’m going on & you bet I’ll be trying my best to play as much as possible 😂

[@GG21188]

thank you for keeping us entertained with content while we wait for the game. I have listened to the whole thing today while i was cooking because i noticed it was on spotify also. Im hoping for another DEV stream soon of the rainbow elves or maybe something new

[@user-np4ec7cs7o]

Amazing work of art! I'm going to meditate to it all day long! Can't wait for the game now... :) :) :) Congratulations, Michiel, congratulations, Triumph!

[@Justanotherworker]

Trampled Blades of Grass is my fav track. Loving my new AOW4 game. Been playing AOW since i was a kid.

[@predd18]

Cheers boys can't wait for the game

[@85RedGuy]

Great early suprise Thank you!

[@RussianSevereWeatherVideos]

Darklands sounds like it has tons of inspiration from Bear McCreary, one of my fave tracks so far. Thanks for sharing this with us

[@TavandtheTadpole]

The guitar in The Highlander is the winner for me.

[@ashestoashes7887]

God I love this music 🖤 You guys did a fantastic job 🌃🏰👑

[@JPOA]

Beautiful 👌

[@user-rg4mv9ki2l]

Soundtrack is amazing.

[@aryvian3813]

All great tracks and an amazing soundtrack altogether! Especially "Dawn Sun" and "Fall Ascending" are epic masterpieces and should be awarded. 👏

[@daenwallace5487]

Saw the game on twitch yesterday, fell in love with it immediately!

[@ernests3305]

Getting such an awesome Witcher vibes from this. At the same time it keeps the style of AoW we all know and love. You nailed it!

[@PillowWillow007]

Some people apparently wouldn't agree with you... Huh

[@soldieramerican5964]

INCREDIBLE GAME! The music is the icing on Age of Wonders 4! Thank you! ❤❤❤❤

[@dallarian8687]

When Sseth linked the patchfix for AoW1 in Nov 22 I started playing with my brothers immediately via email and now we play continously for 6 months now. It's wonderful.

[@followingtheroe1952]

48:50 Clouds and feuds :) 50:38 Age of Wonders Title outro 1:19:30 The bridge from Unreal Tournament Title - Unreal Tournament 99

[@ben_sua]

1:13:40 - Planning and Execution & 1:24:45 - Trampled Blades of Grassth > tried AOW4 last weekend and took a break in the middle of my fights just to enjoy these two tracks, love it, great job Michiel

[@gloomfiend]

"Planning and Execution" is definitely my favorite battle track

[@SameerChandra]

Amazing soundtrack. Feels like I'm really going to war

[@WARGORELORD]

Cant wait to listen to this

[@nekromanser88]

The Overlook's second part is amazing!

[@bine35]

my whole life I wanted game like this ... thank you

[@CRAZYSPIRIT100]

This game is something special. I'm just hooked on this world.

[@Norseman4]

42:07 What Lies Beyond Those Hills 46:47 Whisper of the Gods Probably the tracks you're looking for... as I was.

[@KeimpeJ]

Planning and Execution... So epic.

[@JackalMJ]

This music is pretty cool and it's great of you to share it. But I am saddened there may not be a stream this music.

[@ghosty227]

It's so beautiful

[@JoHumphries-ur4hr]

The fall ascending seems to have taken inspiration directly from this song by Camila cabello, Havana from the album camila back in 2017

[@Noxon19]

Was listening before I read the dev diary, very good stuff, I could tell from listening to the undeterred tactician this was the same person who did Planetfall soundtrack

[@KeimpeJ]

You could also have known that he made every soundtrck for the AoW series.

[@VanCrayden]

Seizing the Day! Super!

[@nikim0211]

great music. 'Whisper of the Gods' is the favourite one

[@Hldv12]

1:46:09 My favorite Great game great music

[@snowdawn]

I look forward for the Empires and Ashes expansion. A great OST soundtrack from Michiel van den Bos. Great job to you all. Age of Wonders 4 is coming soon on May 2, 2023.

[@sawomirjarzyna7453]

Masterpiece, from AoW 1 to 4 part.

[@FlakyHTFfan]

Fall Ascending is my absolute favorite.

[@marekmagdziak5916]

Great music❤

[@RavenholmeCP42]

Phenomenal stuff - incredibly hard to choose a favourite, but I really love Flourishment.

[@PillowWillow007]

I've personally been addicted to "A Magnificent Vista", so much so that it has gotten in the way of me listening to the rest of the soundtrack.

[@StavrosTsiakalos]

Got Return From Heartwood from this video playing and pausing to listen to Heartwood Forest from the original AoW soundtrack, to find similarities :)

[@MsTheGoomba]

hmm i feel like this came out earlier than expected, but good job on the music

[@followingtheroe1952]

oh my god I want to hear Whisper of the Gods, Tidecaster, What Lies Beyond Those Hills, and Effortless Expansion on the original Age of Wonders soundfont

[@DoktorDicht]

The music perfectly suits the gentle flow of the game. My favorite mood game right now. Except for the crashes. 😀

[@KeimpeJ]

What an ominous foreboding soundtrack...

[@rupok90]

28:25 Choose your destination

[@belongaskip]

It does grow on you. Seemed too mellow at first, but now I like most of the melodies.

[@UndyingNephalim]

I heard bits of Battle Macabre in the trailer for AoW4... kind of sad it doesn't seem to have actually made it in the soundtrack though. That was a very nice track in all the AoW games.

[@KeimpeJ]

Je hebt jezelf overtroffen Michiel. Proficiat.

[@gioshelia9215]

Best!

[@orzecho1994]

Where are Trials of Fortitude from Pre-Order trailer? 😢 you left out such a banger.

[@L4sz10]

Yeah, I miss that too...

[@SCVg2g]

the music at 1:25:13 and 43:50 makes me think of the Netflix series The Last Kingdom

[@ryltair]

Great stuff! Will they be on Spotify?

[@aivengoaivy5453]

12:21 the best part 🤘

[@Bzgiorno_Bzgiovanna]

I expected another stream😢

[@SunnyTigerful]

great worok. 2.5 is almost there!!!

[@DontKnow-hr5my]

I really like Clashing Iron

[@KrimsonVagus]

I’ve never been a fan of “dungeon synth”, but this sounds MUCH more passionate and complex than Age of Wonders 3 music imo. The first 4 tracks are kinda meh, but almost everything from Sphere of Influence onwards is amazing

[@Dule810]

AoW always had the best music design out there

[@purplefanta7142]

Well, I was disappointed (only slightly) that it wasn't the same masterpiece that Age of Wonders 2 Shadow Magic OST was, but it's grown on me so much now that I'm actually playing the game. I find myself playing some of the more melodic tunes in my head when I'm going about the day now.

[@battlecruiserna]

sphere of influence is fishy on me, i cant unhear it

[@lookingood8512]

Where love and death my favourite from all the previous games..

[@ratatoskr1069]

Really! At least a few good reworks of the classical songs should have been in here. Very sad!

[@PillowWillow007]

​​​​​@@ratatoskr1069See the AoW 3 soundtrack for that, I'm serious. Most of the tracks there are remixes of prior pieces. If the same earlier themes were rearranged yet again, we'd be facing stagnation.

[@001TheMarksman001]

2 Words for you: Battle Macabre :(((((((

[@Tetzerx]

Nother phenomenal banger of a soundtrack of a soundtrack for Age of Wonders.

[@RefineusGladen]

Super now I have some more music to listen too. Please include a deluxe high quality dlc soundtrack addition similar as you did with Aow 3.

[@VulpisInFundo]

Trampled Blades of Grass is a nod to March of the Halflings, if I am not mistaken.

[@Weldras]

1:55:05 the best one at the end

[@lucasjones3338]

I listened through this and I dont think you have the track that plays on the Pantheon Progress screen after you win a game and ascend. I really like that one and was hoping I could find it.

[@Daveyx0]

I think it's called Peace and Prosperity, you should be able to find it here on KZbin.

[@squall116]

Really good work but i really miss the main theme of AOW3...It was epic
