[Col] Why is there a sound file called 1812?

[Merc]

I have wondered this for years. If you ever actually get to the year 1812 (I never have), do you have to fight your King again like the Americans in 1812?

 

[Perfection]

Is it the 1812 overture?

I haven't played this game in so long so I wouldn't remember.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

It's the cannons as per the 1812 overture. I think there is more than one different cannon sound, perhaps this name was the best for the developers to remember what this specific cannon sounded like.

 

[MXB]

No I'm sure it's the anthem of one of the 4 colonial powers. I've listened to all the wavs including this one.

 

[GrandPensionary]

It's the sound that plays when troops from your foreign intervention arrive.

 

[ATC1983]

There's an American fife song called coming of the old 1812 which is part of the game soundtrack.
