As an amateur musican, I am interested in the quality level of music in video games (along with other things ) and I was wondering what type of music quality everyone would like to hear in Civ3.

I really liked the CTP2 music, and I really hope that they will invest more in a nice and complicated music.
Music that fits the eras in the game sounds good.
For example, the music in Heroes3 was great, it made that feeling of realism and interest in the game.Last edited by Eli; July 6, 2001, 15:27."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.

Yes, but Heroes 3 didn't have enough variety of music- I think there were only about 10 tracks for the adventure map, and a different one for the cities... Civ III needs at least 30 different songs. (And they must be quality...)-->Visit CGN!

Well the biggest issue here is release date of the game.
Think of the time between cds that bands put out. That can be a long time. If Firaxis was going to make Superb music, it wouldl take some time, and I would expect the game to be delayed...
It would be a big WOW, and I mean Wow, if Firaxis could make some great muisc. I've been playing games for a long time. I think the only games I actually turn on to listen to the music (or once Emulators were made i could make them into Mp3s) was Chrono Trigger, and C&C Red Alert. And maybe Super Mario Bros. for NES.. hehe"Mr. Chambers! Don't get on that ship! We've mastered the book, To Serve Man.... it - its a cook book!"

The music must be inspiring, complicated. Music that will actually affect the game.
As an example, the "casus beli" track in CTP2. It really increased my interest in the game, and kept me playing more time than was necessary for this stupid game.
The track also dragged me to lots of not necessary wars btw.Last edited by Eli; July 6, 2001, 15:20."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.

Please please let it be windowed and allow us to play our own MP3s. I haven't listened to the 'in-game' music in YEARS.

Techno is out of place... yech
if Civ III contains rock tracks ála Limp Bizkit they got themselves one less costumer!!
i hope for some excellent music as heard in Swat3 or StarCraft. sometimes i just paused the game to listen to the music...almost

I choose the last option, since what I think about wasn't mentioned. Here it is:
Get rid of the music, I always have winamp playing in the background anyway (And if winamp doesn't work with the game then there's always a CD player nearby )This space is empty... or is it?

I was perfectly content playing Civ2 without the music (it asked me to put the CD in even when it was already in). You don't even need to put an MP3 player in (you can play one in the background). Ah, the hours I've spent playing Civ2 with Mussorgsky booming on the stereo behind me. That way, people can listen to whatever music they want and Sid and the boys can concentrate on more important things in Civ3. However, if they decide to put lots of music in, I wouldn't object."Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" -- Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

ADG is right. I always have my MP3 player open or my stereo on whenever I play games (or post on Apolyton; listening to "Kion ajn" by Persone right now).
In Civ2, the movies serve to explain the various wonders but rarely in any game does the music serve to explain what's going on or have anything to do with the game.
I would rather have the Firaxis crew work on the relevent parts of the game, even if it means leaving music out of it."Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" -- Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels
