Die Siedler IV

[AcidBeast]

Is there any prove that this soundtrack actually exists? It looks more like someone took the data files from the music folders and put them together. Moreover there's not a single piece of information about this soundtrack on the internet or from official sources (like http://www.bluebyte.net/siedler4). They only offered 3 pieces of music which can be found on the add-on "DIE TROJANER UND DAS ELIXIER DER MACHT" for download. I also looked into all of the different game release versions. Not a single one included the soundtrack.
This entry is rather suspicious...

I think you are right about this being a rip. It was added a long time ago, and apparently forgotten. However, it looks like Blah added a new release date much more recently, so we'll have to ask him where he got the info.

[AcidBeast]

Well, I guess he just took the official release date of the game that is Feb 15, 2001.

Oh, and there is a simple reason why this release date can't be the right one. It contains the music tracks "Trojans 01, Trojans 02 and Trojans 03".
These tracks were not included on the original game and can only be found on the add-on "DIE TROJANER UND DAS ELIXIER DER MACHT" which was released half a year later (!). They're btw the three pieces of music which can be downloaded from bluebyte.net/siedler4/. Here: http://www.bluebyte.net/siedler4/arc....asp?id=%27%27 [14.11.2001]

Im neuen DIE SIEDLER IV Add-On DIE TROJANER UND DAS ELIXIER DER MACHT gibt es neue MP3 Musikstücke passend zum neuen Volk der Trojaner.

It says clearly that they got exclusive new tracks for this game.

It's more than obvious that this is a rip and no official release. It's even listed as a "commercial release" and I highly doubt bluebyte would forget to promote it.

Yeah, it's hard to find information on bonus enclosures for western games.

Thanks for the research, AcidBeast. I suppose I'll flag this entry as inactive for now.
