Translation of "Baba Yetu".

[Datajack Franit]

I hate that song

[Zoid]

It grows on you, I hum it unaware sometimes... But it does sound an awful lot like it could´ve been in the Lion King. I can see the baboon lifting the little cub up so all the animals can see him with the music in the background working it´s way up to a furious crescendo

Doesn´t it say roughly the same about every religions holy shrine? I´m not at home now so I can´t check. But I wouldn´t be at all surprised if that was the case. Just as the game is geared towards a free market democracy instead of communism...

You what? Play a few games with the State Property civic and see if you still believe that.

State Property.

Perhaps WE are geared towards a Free Market/Democracy game?

Also, I like Swahili Gospel as much as the next guy, but doesn't it seem suspicious that they used this theme song in the game wherein they also 86'd the Zulu?

"Firaxian Talent Manager: Look, Shaka, baby, the Mali were bigger, richer, and more culturally influential. But they can't sing. Everyone knows that. We think you'd be able to contribute more to the organization as a baritone rather than an Agg/Exp leaderhead. No hard feelings?

Shaka: You are very lucky they thought to confiscate my iklwa at the door."

Very nice song, and thanks for the translation

(this is coming from an atheist who likes music)

Anything to get me away from Towns.

That nearly made me spew my drink onto my computer...

So... Where can I find the opening movie and the official web site music? Without the sound effects and in good quality.

And Son of David is right... From the Civilopedia:



Yeah, I'd say that's pretty biased.

It does say the same thing about each religons shrine, it basicly gives you that religons viewpoint on the shrine. However I wish they had taken more of a chance of offending people and made the religons different and given them an effect on your style of play as well as including an "athesist" state religon much like we see in modern china (this is different than not having a state religon but it means your state religon is that no religion is real).

Planning a large post on this when I go into the perfect mod..after playing the game a few more times..

but perhaps christianity could be given a +to attacking along with islam? Bhuddism and hinduism given more happiness while toaism given the largest happiness but a hit to production (since I think taoism is big on living very simply in a cave). Judiaism would also have a large happines bonus but weaker missionaries since they really didn't have a missionary tradition at all. An athesist state would give you a bonus to production and science but a hit to happiness. I'm not a comparitive religons scholor but something like that should have been implimented..

As well where did you learn swhalli? And yes the interview with the zulu king was quite hilarious..quite glad I wasn't drinking at the time..
