Poll Question:
Poll: Which Faction has the best music?

I've been a fan of the series since H2, and I am also a fan of the music. Yes, I have ripped the music from every game and expansion (if the music changed from the previous version), and I do listen to it.

What do you guys think about the music for each faction? Unprecedented in the HoMM series, every faction has a special track for its castle (including seperate tracks for the recruitment screen, den of thieves, and tavern) adventure map, battle map, and seige. I might have even missed a few!

As soon as a mod/software comes out, I'll be ripping this music too.

I'll remain neutral for now, but which faction do you think has the best soundtrack?

Special note:
Only the truest of the true fans (and musicians) would have recognized that a small riff of the credits theme comes from the Sorceress castle from H2. Can you say EASTER EGG?

Haven than Sylvan. The rest sucks. The really good themes are only haven siege, and sylvan and haven town; maybe some heroes as well (godric), but in general, I am disappointed.

No doubt Haven track is great and conveys the feeling it should.[Damn I have come to appreciate vocals and opera as of late what's wrong with me??!NOOOO!]Anyway all tracks match their theme accordingly and fit in well though I can't say I love the outcome.For instance dungeon track is reminiscent of shadows,loneliness,mystery yet I don't think I'd like to listen to it as I would with sylvan or academy.

NONE!
Compared to H3, I really cannot say anything good for any H5 themes, including combat themes (H3 combat themes are far more refreshing as battle drums, while H5 is way too gentle and lulling).

well, compared to h4, especially, h5 music ain't too good, except menu theme and haven music.
h4 music was annoying at times, but very good anyway.
h3 music was fun - sometimes. Fortress and stronghold got great themes.
h2 music - YEAH NECROPOLIS MUSIC FROM h2 GOLD ROCKS ROCKS ROCKS!! totally doesn't suit the city, but it's sweet ^_^

Sylvan :-)

Haven would be my 2nd favourite; City screen music and rotating view combined is enchanting.

Argh! Don't force me to make a choice! (Whams head on desk)

I don't know which ones I like the most, but I LOVE the Sylvan and Haven seige themes, a have some town and battle themes, but that's it. . . . I want them all.

I find it strange that Necropolis is leading in votes, even though its music is roughly a remix of Haven's music (without the opera, of course).

Necro fans must be doing the voting.

Then it wasn't my imagination when I heard the Necro town theme the first time Really disappointing, doesn't fit the town at all IMO

I'd go for Sylvan, followed by Inferno.

Also, the new 10 second repeating tracks used in the recruitment screen are just boring, so I've changed the them to be just like the tavern music tracks, just like in the demo version.

I do love that Necro's music is a gloomy version of Haven's. very nice touch imo.
Pretty much all the musics are really good, some better than others, some whose style appeal to me more than others (i am not too fond of sylvan myself, even though i think it's a fine piece, just not my style).

If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

The Opera singing has been in every game but Heroes 3. It adds to the atmosphere of the town.

I think they outdid themselves with Haven's theme. Rarely do I go a turn without listening to the whole thing. It's just so...powerful...so...moving. It hits me with an aura of pride and defiance against odds. It reminds me of HIII Stronghold's opening, except that it is vibrant throughout the entire song.

I didn't like Necro's town theme at first, but it has grown on me. It still does not touch Haven's though.

My wife likes Sylvan's theme the best. Their town theme is good, but their battle music, especially during seige, is even better.

I think Inferno has a pretty cool map theme. It's very majestic. Its soundtrack fits the town very well.

Dungeon's theme has grown on me as well. It captures the mystique of the faceless.
