Falkenbach - Laeknishendr vs. The Settlers OST (Amiga)

This is the comparison of two very similar melodies. First one, younger, is taken from Falkenbach’s first album “...En Their Medh Riki Fara...“ from the song “Laeknishendr“ and the elder one comes from the game The Settlers, Amiga version. As you can hear, those melodies are almost identical. The elder comes from 1993 and the younger from 1996... Now, it makes me suppose that Vratyas Vakyas (the only member of Falkenbach) was playing The Settlers in 1993, it inspired him somehow and he decided to include it
