How do you make the game play more than just the same two tracks?

Politics, religion, war. They are nothing without a legacy that can stand the test of time. Lead any nation, and turn it into a mighty kingdom in one of the most compelling grand strategy games ever created.

Does anyone know how to make installed music tracks play in-game?
I have copied MP3 files into the the music folder, but even with new names it always only plays the same number. I can only make it play Kingdoms-Main-theme again and again, but not fx Kingdoms-main-theme1 or anything else?

Without editing the code that decides when to change track and with which probability, you'll be limited in what you do.

Did you tweak in Data\
Music, MusicLow, MusicVLow ?

No, I haven't I do not know anything about editing, that's why I'm asking. But I'll try your suggestion then, thanks.

Sorry if I'm too much :)
But what do I do from here:

Kingdoms-Main-Theme // Index 0 - Main Menu
Kingdoms-Tranquil-Theme // Index 1 - Strategic Map
Kingdoms-Tranquil-Theme1 //
Kingdoms-Main-Theme // Index 2 - unusable
Kingdoms-Battle-Theme // Index 4 - Battle
Kingdoms-Winning // Index 5 - Player Won
Kingdoms-Losing // Index 6 - Player Lost


I want Kingdoms-Tranquil-Theme1 to play (I have tried with Index 1a or Index - Strategic Map1 - but with no result?

Well everything behind // is just a comment
// this is a comment
try renaming it to
Kingdoms-Tranquil-ThemeX // something that is not like the other entries with a number after. Must match the filename
maybe it works?
There are 10 kind of hard problems in computer science, naming, cache invalidations and off-by-one errors.
There are also 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who do not.

No, it does not work. Now no music is playing at all.
I give up and will find a youtube playlist and play that then, but thanks for the help.
