SUGGESTION: Bard Improvements #571

Suggestion: Bard Music Styles

How about giving the Bard a range of music styles that you can enable/disable for when they play, so you can match the style to your village. e.g. If you have a medieval theme they play earlier style music e.g. Greensleeves, Scarborough Fair etc. Sand themed villages could play more Arabic/Middle Eastern type origin songs (Think Arabian Nights song opening to Aladdin).

Alternatively a sub-folder you can add to mods folder maybe called BardSongs where you can add your own .ogg files, though that would really only work on single-player.

Have bards only play when NOT in hearing range of another bard who is playing. I had to create a triple area Tavern so I could slit the crowd so some used the patio vista overlooking the extreme hills valley & falls and the balcony seating area. I put a sound block in each of the three areas so the bard would rotate like the guards do for guard posts--it would be wonderful if the bard AI forced the rotation like guards patrol. Added a second bard and now the music is just noise so had to AI ban one from the Tavern but I don't think the guests in an area not covered by the Tavern token get the benefits of happiness from the bard playing in the nearby spaces even though they can clearly hear it in all three sections at once.
