    Where the heck did you hear this? I'm pretty sure you're wrong; this screenshot sure looks like it was taken from the Wonder movie for the Apollo Project.

        I'm not sure if this has already been said in this thread because I didn't read all the posts. I want to be able to play the music that I want to listen to. What I mean is if I want to listen to my songs on Napster (I download music now from Limewire) I don't want the game to get real glitchy. Also, if I want to put in one of my music cd's then I should be able to while playing the game. Meaning that I should be able to take the Civ cd out during a game and put in one of my music cd's. I know everything in Civ2 works out good. The music in Civ just sucks that is why I listen to my music.
        However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

          The music didn't work for me in Civ2, but oh well.

          I think it would be neat to have civ-specific music, i.e. if you're German you listen to Bach or Wagner or Rammstein or something and if you're Russian you can listen to Mussorgsky or if you're French you listen to Chopin (tricked you, Chopin was Polish ). But just in case you want to listen to your own music, I found an interesting technique. I happen to have this machine, I don't know if you've heard of it. You can put these round shiny things in it and music comes out.

            i think a national theme for each civ would be awesome. and for each era, the theme gets upgraded, as everything else will. in the modern era, you listen to the drum´n´bass version of the British theme. If Americans, the theme will be something rock-isch. If French - filterhouse version, and so on. I like musical accuracy.

              Yeah, well it's kind of hard to listen to my downloaded music on a stereo. Not to mention I don't like to even use my cd's in my stereo because my stereo sucks. I don't see why there should be any reason why you can't take the game out of the cd rom (like you were able to in Civ2) so you can put a different cd in your cd rom.

              No, there shouldn't be civ-specific music for one reason- lack of memory on the cd for the game.

                One of the previews stated that the graphical style of CivIII would fit perfectly into a French Enlightenment scene. As such, I think the most appropriate music for the atmosphere would be classical. And since that stuff is public domain (isn't it?)....it shouldn't be too hard/expensive to get some to put into the game.

                  Still it would be nice to listen to "Rule Britannia" while conquering the world with your longbowmen. I am always humming it while playing England (incurable Anglophile me .

                    how about this
                    during 25 hrs of gameplay, one actually gets his lazy behind to the cd player and occassionally changes a cd or two. be your own dj

                          I was wondering about that screenshot a while ago as well, because it was released after one of the early Firaxis interviews (february?) said that they were avoiding cutscenes and the like because although they are cool, after 2 or 3 times people just skip them. Kinda wasted effort for the playtime they get.



                          Also, while messing around with SMAC last night I realized that a lot of the quotes for tech and such are in mp3 format, so if SMAC already is using mp3 format, why can't there be an editable playlist of songs to be played in Civ3. The Civ3 music would have flags for say peacetime, and the peacetime playlist plays. Then you go to war and a group of war songs are played (lots of ACDC and GunsNRoses). This doesn't seem to be that much of a stretch from what Firaxis has already done in a past game, so any objections?

                            too much programming time for the little use of it ... lets hope they dont put any wonder movies in and shut like that... nor any stupid music that most people wil never play...

                              well i don´t know where you´re from so I can´t pick some silly music from you country. BUT, maybe it would be cool to conquer the world while listening to Abba´s "the winner takes it all"
