Do you play with or without sounds?

[St Leo]

I play with sound disabled and have never bundled sound files with my scenarios. The only kind of sound I wouldn't mind listening to would be built-in event-driven mp3 tracks, and that's not an option.

I hardly play with the sounds on, as i generally listen to music while i play Civ.

I get them from other games, mostly. The Camel sound is one of FORTY camel sounds in Medieval Total War. I think I got the Allah charge from a Civ2 scenario, though I can't remember. Cossacks and East/West Front are also gold mines, among many others. Most computer wargames sound is still in wav format, though MP3 is being used more often now. It's easy to convert MP3's to wav format with Goldwave software. It's downloadable here: http://www.goldwave.com/

I finish with the Microsoft Soundrecorder program to put the sounds into the format Civ2 uses. It's PCM 22.050 kHz 8-bit. Mono or stereo. Stereo wave files are twice as large as mono.

Well, I can try it but eventually, some units will end up with unproper sounds if I do not correct their location in rules and units.bmp

ToT can solve this puzzle by giving each unit it's own individual sound WAV!

I use Blaze Audio. It has a nifty 30 day trial. It rips, converts, edits, burns.

and there are plenty of free sites out there that have some decent sound effects:

I use an ancient program called CTWAVE32!

First used by Werner Heisenberg in 1943!

With you I ALWAYS apply the uncertainly principle!

I always play with sound on.

Many scenario creators go to a great deal of work to select specific sounds to work with their scenarios.

It's the total sensory experience baby!

Sound is a terrific way of conveying a theme or adding to the iconography of a scenario.. I really enjoy a scenario with sounds well-made - if a scenario has no sounds its a major turnoff for me.

Find some Civ2 sound fx on my forum at CDG (link in my signature). (the allah-charge sound effect was mine btw - the prayer sound is from the film "The English Patient", mixed with a cavalry charge and army cheering)

[curtsibling]

I do not consider a scenario complete unless it has the sounds...
