Your Fortress Anthem
« on: October 21, 2011, 02:16:48 pm »
While battling Necro910 and his relentless pony forces a while back, i had a realization. That, once completed, Aztec Two Step will be the the perfect theme song for Gorerape the Massive Malicious Maze of Death. The sound of immense torment and hate echoing throughout the halls of the DeathMaze, and the towering center keep, as the walls are coated with the blood of my opponents, and dwarves rush about to reset traps and pull levers would seem incredibly fitting.

This got me thinking about what the anthem might be for the fortresses of other overseers. So, imagine, if you will, what piece of music would be the most fitting as the official anthem for your current fortress, past fortress, or your fortresses in general, and why.
I look forward to your replies. They should be most interesting.

It fits to every +5 years old fort I had. Caverns breached, magma is in use and goblins start showing up in decent amounts.
The only question left to ask: Is fun here yet? Or will my fort go on for another year?

Build a grid of floor grates above the entire city. Draft a squadron of masons and bomb the crap out of the city with falling constructed walls.

I like to think that on the other side of the world a human is walking on the beach, notices the water level suddenly drop twenty feet, and whispers "fucking dwarves."

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?
Around these parts It's called weaponized.

My current fort is running the pony mod, so the MLP:FiM theme I reckon.  Except that so many ponies have died that it certainly must be something darker than that by now.  Every time the evil ponies show up, a not insignificant portion of my military ends up with a hoof through their skulls and I end up making more coffins...

I would say that the Dawn of War theme would be fitting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFAKECUeew0), but it's not really an anthem.  I just like to listen to it while playing DF.

I prefer a remix of the music for my anthem.

Hm, I clicked that link expecting Drowning Pool, lovely song nonetheless. It has to be the first Dragonforce song I've heard that doesn't sound like every other Dragonforce song I've heard.

Believe it or not, before posting this thread, I hesitated for a moment, and said to myself, "Necro's anthem will be the MLP theme".

I have to say, most dragonforce is actually pretty distinct. I've got four or five (different ones!) that I listen to every once in a while.

Also, isn't that from S2, necro? I have trouble telling the difference when it's in evil mode.
