Stellaris Music Expansion Pack

If you like this mod, please tell your friends about it! Unless this mod shows up at the top page of the "most popular mods" category again, chances are not many people will find it.

## I released a new BattleTech-themed tribute album called "Memories of the 31st Century"! You can listen to it and download it for free here: https://youtu.be/CkU87ltZqKg

Important information regarding game updates

This mod will most likely ALWAYS stay compatible with Stellaris when the game version changes. Regardless of the game launcher telling you that the mod is not up to date for the current Stellaris version, this is only due to the version specified in this mod's text file and should never, ever impact the actual compatibility with this game.

Because of this, I will not answer any more comments asking if this mod is compatible with version xyz of the game. Simply put: YES IT IS.

Additionally, this mod is fully Iron Man compatible since it does not change gameplay or any vanilla files.

Thanks for reading and understanding!

At the time I am uploading the latest update to this mod, I have played Stellaris for almost 600 hours. This game certainly wouldn't be what it is today without such an active, creative and hardworking mod community. This mod is my way contributing my small share to it and give something back to this amazing community.

What this mod contains

This music expansion pack contains twenty-nine(!) new original music tracks that I specifically composed for Stellaris, with an overall duration of almost 2 hours.

My original goal was to create music that would fit into Stellaris and contain elements similar to the trademark sound of Andreas Waldetoft (whose work I immensely enjoy). At the same time, I wanted to cover specific themes and ideas, which are reflected in the titles I chose for each track. There are also some tracks that are similar to the music in certain other games, i.e. Rebel Galaxy ("Smuggler Blues" is one such track).

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed creating it. In the foreseeable future I may also add more tracks to this mod, especially if there is an actual demand for it!

If you like this mod, please consider giving it a positive rating!
