That piece is 100% neither Renaissance nor Baroque styled, but sounds distinctly mid-late romantic (1850s-1900).
Actual music from that time period is kino, but is a lost art for most composers.

Can we just rangeban north america entirely?

>>719315554
The Guild 2 comes to mind,and Anno 1602.
But the period is severely underused.
>>
>>719316818
It's music from a game based from the age of exploration so it still counts
https://youtu.be/jaHcPzwdyVg?si=H7fRl11OlHizlwBa
There are still barely any games with this kind of classy music I feel.
>>
>>719316818
Fuck that sounds good. Any other reccomendations? I just want a game where you can stand around in fancy dresses and powdered wigs.
>>
>>719317261
Not saying it's not classy, but the piano was not in popular use until about 200 years after the Age of Exploration.
Nice classy piece though.

I just want a game where ode to joy plays to the tune of musket and cannonfire while europe carves out new political realities

Any of Jean-Baptiste Lully's stuff is good. There's also Rameau, but he is a little later. Both wrote a lot of good stuff for their operas/masques. There's also Purcell and John Blow if you want something a little bit more English. German stuff (Bach, Buxtehude, Telemann) are all also good.

As for actual albums, the one I posted is great and I keep the cd in my car. You can find a lot of suites and stuff on Youtube.

AssCreed plays substantially after the renaissance, Technically 4 fits into the baroque but OP is a retard for using an european art period as time frame.
Well that and AC 3 and 4 heavily underuse their setting.

>>719317795
Jordi savall is great, if you search for hesperion you will get tons of the stuff.

Thanks for the heads up, anon!

Because I'm mostly after the aesthetic. The only games I can think of that use it are maybe Tactics Ogre or Tree of Savior. There are games that are set in the 1500s-1700s but they rarely capture the culture of the time period. Often times they even demonize it or see it with a modern pessimistic lens.
>>
>>719320496
I also have to add that the only game i get that feel from is modded empire total war, some mods have good music pieces and add period paintings to the load screens and menus.

And I know we are not on /tg/ but Imperial struggle is an amazing game for 2 players about the conflict between Britain and France for the domination of the world around the 7 years war. A game of that with a baroque music list is very kino.

>I'm mostly after the aesthetic
I suppose it is valid in that case considering it is both a time, geographic and cultural constrained term.
And yes games set in 17th century western europe are basically not a thing.
>>
>>719321657
God dam, I have been waiting for empire 2 for a decade and I am sure many others want it over med 2 too.
>>
>>719320792
It's also because that time period is about glorifying rich white people colonizing the world. No western dev is going to touch that unless it's the french revolution.
>>
>>719322125
Fuck Creative Assembly are incompetents. I would love an empire 2 too.

When they did thrones of Britannia (did not touch a ttw since warhammer 2 and skipped this one) they said they would do smaller scale games. They used that to pump half assed games and try to make easy money.

But they should have taken the opportunity to build from the ground up with a new engine with a smaller game and then build upon it for later installments.
