Posts from How to remove the unnecessary long sound at the beginning of a battle.

You are so smart... I don't argue with that! But please note that my comment is a question!

Everything works except for buildtwn.wav, but only on random maps! On fixed maps, battle01.wav (01-07) doesn't always play. Please investigate.

No, citizen, I don't provide technical support. In my version, this sound is named this way (you can find it using the resource editor for Heroes). Besides, this is a rather barbaric method. It's better to install the HD mod; the link is above.

The more I read this thread, the less I understand its purpose. Why remove this sound? Does it really bother people that much? If it does, then just remove all the sound effects altogether.

Apparently, people get some kind of special pleasure from the sound of horses' hooves. But we wouldn't understand...

Right now, not many people understand you. Removing this sound saves time!

If you want to save time, there are many other ways to do it, starting with simply turning off all sound and ending with the HD mod. But why exactly THIS sound was annoying and how its absence saves time, and how much time it saves, is a mystery to me... :confused:

Well, firstly, the music before the battle really gets in the way. In practice, there are often situations where you need to attack with your main hero on a weak enemy and not reveal their stats, for example, quickly attacking and killing them so that the opponent doesn't have time to examine them. Secondly, the music at the beginning of the day also gets in the way, at least for me. It's just that you often end up clicking on a hero without listening to the music until the day passes. You end up making unnecessary, purely mechanical clicks, but I, for example, am used to playing with music, so I don't turn it off. In general, I personally like the absence of these sounds more, and copying a few files is not a big problem :)
And besides, you yourself say that there are many other ways, so why not use this one? If you choose one of the other two ways, you can also ask why you chose it. It's a matter of taste.
