Weird. The first thing that played in my head was Dark Reign 2's main theme. Well, I do remember the game as the first 3D RTS that didn't look like a bunch of ugly brown and grey crap.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxf8NBA3STc

>>2407062>>2406783Second for Rise of Nations. No other RTS game from its era has a full hour of orchestral music as the OST (and even now few do). My favorite track is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2OYEU1D42k&list=RDr2OYEU1D42k&start_radio=1.
