Spellforce 2 Music

So I went into Nabros today and got greeted by a beautiful song out of the Spellforce 2 soundtrack - specifically this one:

Welcome Daedalus!

There was a point in Lords of Xulima's development (more specifically, before Kickstarter) when the soundtrack was put together by acquiring licenses to use various songs.

Lords of Xulima requires 18 different music themes (more than 60 minutes of soundtrack). There are different themes for different regions of the continent, for combat, and for interiors like dungeons, castles and temples. Currently, the music of Lords of Xulima has been carefully selected from different tracks available commercially and, frankly, we think the result is pretty good. However, we would love to have an original soundtrack composed especially for the game, one that fits perfectly with the different environments of Xulima and, above all, a grand epic theme that gives identity to Lords of Xulima.


As this 2nd crowdfunding campaign quickly exceeded our expectations, we were able to contract a talented fantasy music composer from France, Nicolas De Ferran. Thus, the Lords of Xulima Main Theme was born, and many more great instrumental tracks soon followed.

Keep in mind, both the quote and the video were posted a while ago (over a year back in the case of the Blog post), but while our vision and ambitions for the game have since evolved, the design philosophy and inspiration have stood the test of time. Hope this answers your question :)
