[@ifiliketrains1010]

love how it kind of sounds like it evolves through time from early medieval to late rennaisance

[@joeywild2011]

Good point! That’s a really cool idea! It’s funny cuz CK3’s timeline really only goes from early medieval to late medieval / early renaissance but it’s still a super cool idea you pointed out

[@lounginggeno3895]

You mean early renaissance

[@captainch6182]

@@lounginggeno3895 ikr? This sounds more like Renaissance music than music that would have been played in the 1100s

[@dodec8449]

@@captainch6182 And later in the video: it's nice bombastic game music, but has nothing to do with renaissance music.

[@audinity]

Hey all! We are really happy you enjoy the music we did for Royal Court. Thanks for your support!

[@charrrcon]

How wonderful that there are still companies that hire orchestras to provide music for their games. Possibly the best song from Paradox to date.

[@audinity]

Thx for your nice comment. Paradox is special in that regard for sure. Always a pleasure writing music for one of their games.

[@dovah1216]

This music ... Will live forever just like skyrim and other games

[@dodec8449]

I regularly listen to soundtracks of old Paradox titles

[@LevCallahan]

That little knowing look Ingo the lute player gives right before coming in at 0:25 is just precious.

[@Lemme1892]

Truly classic and epic. I just love CK

[@gustavgrafspee6089]

My rules, My court, My kingdom

[@Ksotilas]

I love it! I bought CK3 about a month ago after enjoying CK2. I was already wondering if there was something wrong as the loading screen was seemingly frozen. Then all of a sudden this starts to play...👌

[@norgepingvin3745]

this is simply awesome

[@tspoon772]

I love how goofy it sounds at the start and then evolves into being very epic

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

Kinda like a CK3 playthrough with custom characters lol

[@codeviper8665]

Goofy? Hard disagree, I love the intro

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

I love the music in this game. It's always a great vibe when one of these tracks come on just as my character is enganging in some reprehensibly immoral act.

[@ams0827]

Simply epic

[@Frodpsss]

That was what I needed, beatiful!

[@mathijs7]

Great!

[@Liom89]

If there's one thing Paradox do well, it's a soundtrack. Pleeeease bring back Pagan Fury 👀👀👀

[@hugosoderblom64]

Nice

[@widjiro]

legendary

[@rbryangonzalez]

I've made a playlist of music from TV, movies, and games and for the life of me neither Google nor Shazam could tell me what this theme's name was. No joke I went into the files of the game looking for it and realized that these theme is part of Royal Court. One of the hardest I've looked for the name of a bloody song. Totally worth it.

[@personmuc943]

You can tell your music overhaul mod doesn't work once you hear this theme

[@noahchiaravallotti6510]

This is bardcore! 🤘🏻

[@AndyReichi]

Best song in this game ❤

[@brooklynknite]

I am loving this game so far. I hope that one day you port your other strategy games to the console.

[@ft20_arizkiwibowo58]

Oh boy...i can only imagine Crusader Kings 3 is just a game of waiting without all the musics

[@CSquared11]

Now can anybody point me to that Lute song that’s an absolute banger?

[@gaddafi3345]

I want more info on fate of Iberia y’all teasing

[@cohortConnor]

Please post the rest of the soundtrack

[@Kenruli]

Original upload got copyright issues?

[@neutralbychoice3584]

Shouldnt really be the case. The music is made for the game so Paradox should have ownership.

[@KristianKumpula]

@@neutralbychoice3584 Wouldn't be the first time someone got a copyright claim on their video because of their own music.

[@blindmarian]

@@KristianKumpula shout out to Metalica on what was it? Blizzcon?

[@BurnInFerNos1]

@@neutralbychoice3584 Happens more often than you think. Most claims on the big companies don't get far enough to result in a video being taken down though. Literally anyone can (with no proof) submit a copyright claim on literally anything else.

2:00 Wie passen nur so viele Musiker in meinem PC????

[@barkent703]

We are still waiting for improvements for stellaris console edition. old man

[@spo666tty]

Instrument at 0:22?

[@AGboiii]

I like this theme but please let us switch to old one.

[@Faither011]

I see why it's a reupload, sounds like the bannerlords track

[@LTD538]

Ok but bring back the old one

[@uhhhscizo6531]

This is the song that you could make play in Crusader Kings 2 by clicking on multiple countries before you start the game. I’m sure this is well known but some may not

[@amarbadyal2470]

yea it’s a reprise of the CK2 and CK3 Theme.

[@bochepoilu719]

I do prefer the first version.

[@ebarlow4940]

Not such a fan of this version, any chance of being able to switch back to the original some day?

[@user-xj2uq6mh3v]

You can change it by modding a script file in sounds folder, it allows you to reorder the playlist in game.

[@pennywise1682]

Fix the save game corruption on ps5 asap!

[@TheCraftyDawg]

this could have been at home in a final fantasy game

[@RIPDixie1865]

The music almost makes the dlc worth the 30 bucks (because the gameplay content sure doesn't)
