11 | ---- |
12 | [[AC:''Warcraft: Orcs & Humans'']] |
13 | * [[https://youtu.be/aXmL-xGa3qs Orcish Victory Music]], especially when the massive Orc Chieftain's portrait is splayed in the background, with the Orcish narrator explaining the utter destruction of the Kingdom of Azeroth. |
14 | |
15 | [[AC:''Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness'' + ''Beyond the Dark Portal'']] |
16 | * It's called simply [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Za0rZs0Qk Human 1]], but the name is the only non-epic thing about it. "Human 1" has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP5_VHpWhqs heavy metal remix]] in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm''. |
17 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uDM8GJa53c Orc 1]]. War drums playing? Rally the grunts, it's time to go to work. |
18 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbJ50hl-Ynw Orc 3]] uses a minute and a half to build up the single greatest harpsichord face melter in video game history. |
19 | * Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU-n8UZM5Cc the intro]], helped by the [[LargeHam vowel-savoring overacting]] in the narration. |
20 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIwA8w0RNz4 Human 6]], a victory fanfare reused in ''[=WoW=]'' for Alliance battleground victories. |
21 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik-lhwc00xM human's defeat theme]] is almost worth losing to listen to. |
22 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1QJXxhJ2gE Let's give the greenies some attention]]. It [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMiornsdjC8 makes its return]] in the bonus campaign to the ''Warcraft 3'' expansion, and in ''[=WoW=]'' when you go back in time to Durnholde Keep via the Caverns of Time, you get to hear it again. |
23 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZAXwQ_Kyco The Orc Briefing]]. It's the first song you hear in the game (it's used for the main menu) and it's probably the one you'll remember the most. |
24 | |
25 | [[AC:''Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos'' + ''The Frozen Throne'']] |
26 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6_d1fhEXTY This piece of Night Elf music]]. |
27 | * The ending music of ''Frozen Throne'', "[[https://youtu.be/aUBrjGrzBm0 Power of the Horde]]", an epic HotBlooded rock theme for the Horde. Even better, there's a cheat code to play it in-game if you want to spice up your battles. |
28 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw1Wab6DpHg Vengeance of the Blood Elves]] is the truth! It's greatness from start to finish. |
29 | * From the Orcs, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzMy0noPvVo Doomhammer's Legacy]]," which expresses the faction's HeelFaceTurn, and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knnN0qDyff4 Bloodlust]]," expressing their darker instincts and inner savagery. |
30 | %%* The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt0GWEDVDFw Comradeship]]" and "Blood Elf" themes are fantastic, as is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQIhcS58nWI Arthas' Theme]]. |
31 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ndjcgfUbYg "First" Human song]] does a good job of tying together the overall medieval-kingdom-feel of the faction. Be sure to hear the track at 3:28, where is the music segues into what sounds like an anthem for the Human Alliance; it really encourages you to get your army moving into battle. From the ''Frozen Throne'' expansion, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXajx7l4VxE Human 4]]" sums up the state of the Alliance perfectly. |
32 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2ASlRbH4oM Tremble]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i7EqaC9bYk before]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGbiK1tdkZY The Scourge!]] Better yet, try to listen to the first two tracks ''simultaneously''. The combined tracks sound surprisingly good! |
33 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99jXY7oCmz4 Arthas' Betrayal.]] Sends shivers up the spine. |
