Legacy - Emperor: Battle for Dune [music]

Composed by David Arkenstone.
Soundtrack's playlist: • Emperor: Battle For Dune

[@TrollDragomir]

Anyone else noticed that this track's main riff is the main title leitmotif of Lynch's Dune from 1984?

[@Symos]

I did

[@mk6315]

I guess that’s why it’s named legacy now that I know that

[@that_one_helljumper]

I notice too, thanks for pointing it out!

[@willowbc1]

Totally! Love it. I was heavily influenced by Lynch's version as a kid, and even integrated the leitmotif into a video game I made (with variation for the theme of the villains).

[@LCTesla]

I love how this is basically another version of Toto's main score for the Dune 1984 movie, except with Paul Atreides' noble resistance extracted and the sheer despair of Harkonnen dominance left in.

[@Burbon211]

its an old game, an old book, an old ost...but i keep listening and admire

[@James-cn7hl]

There is a native population. They are no use to us, but they can be very dangerious. We must also considor the imperial Saduakar. They were born to serve an emperor without them they have no purpose. They will support the House that proves to be the strongest. Of course thay will be House Harkonnen.

[@peterh2828]

I love this game :-) Harkonnen Mentat was fantastic!

[@MilkerName]

You can really feel the passion of House Harkonnen in this track. I personally do when I hear it whilst seeing the Harkonnen Construction Yard blast out flames from it's chimneys.

[@cruelangel7737]

Yes. Harkonnen base design really reflects their character. Kudos to the artists. The dystopia chimneys spewing flames in every building in Harkonnen bases especially.

[@DestructiveDave1900]

"Construction started. Building ready to place."

[@leonardoc.7718]

This game and the franchise are a masterpiece of art. Long live Dune!

AT ONCE❤

[@Symos]

I'm surprised that what is basically a remix of the movie theme became a Harkonnen track.

[@shmel-aggressive]

thanks to westwood studio for happy childhood R.I.P

[@milesdeklotz4935]

Westwood and Blizzard have the best game soundtracks ever!

[@StoneTitan]

+Miles DeKlotz Not sure about the best, but many good ones indeed. THough imo Hakonan beats the other factions by far regarding the soundtracks in "emperor" imo and this track is the best of the hakonan tracks

[@joshuazhao]

try play SC2 with the OST of EBFD in the background, you will see how much it fits. Harkonnen for Terran, Atreides for Protoss, and Ordos for Zerg

[@VORP125]

Miles DeKlotz Valve have great OSTs too.

[@rachskald]

Old might and magic series composer Anthony Romero begs to differ ;) Also, that team that made the soundtracks of Crusader games (no remorse), deus ex and unreal. Baldur's Gate (Michael Hoenig!) And many others. Some of the best though, for sure :)

[@KingLich451]

Just watching House of Cards. This is so true.

[@LegendKingY2j]

@@srbrant5391 yeah, you can have or be a powerful person and still rule acceptably fair, corruption will still exist though and it will exist around that powerful person, envious and opportunistic people that will try to take that spot.

[@everythingsgonnabealright8888]

@@jimhuffman9434 Oh how right you were.

[@evaunit143]

Out of all the songs for the harkonnen this and "the machine" fit the faction the best, that is not to say all the other songs are briliant. I am simply saying those two have that dark evil feel that the harkonnen give off visualy and verbaly with their units.

[@LCTesla]

Tribute to Evil is a close third in my eyes, but it falls short on account of being more upbeat and lacking the foreboding dread pervasive in the other two.

[@evaunit143]

I must agree, thought tribute to evil is my absolute favorite song in the game, it just seems to heroic sounding for house harkonene.

[@Terrorkekx]

Eyuel Vazquez Well all Houses are being set up against each other by the Emperor....So the music just emphasises on the "We are the good ones because you play us" - Which is just genius....

[@GreatestGamer9000]

+Terrorkekx but the Emperor is dead...

I can hear it clearly. It's the movie theme for sure. Just keep listening to it.

[@Darius0101x]

I never realised until I saw your comment! :O

[@rachskald]

HOW DID I NOT HEAR IT, damn :p

[@rachskald]

Btw, the other variation is same basic melody as the planescape torment theme as well XD

[@andrewdent4025]

... that is incredibly well spotted. Kudos to you and your ears.

On the move, REPOSITIONING!

[@MrJD9001]

It plays softly throughout, but you can really hear it at 0:43. It can also be heard stronger at 1:45. Try to listen to the parts that go D - E - F - C#. That's the recurring score.

[@Fergusius]

A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10,191. The Known Universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4,000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space.

They pissed me off destroying C&C4, the design aspects were just so rushed - level design very poor, very repetitve, gameplay shit.. the only good thing was the graphics and the units... storyline could of done better, alot better.
