The Most Important Question of All

[Drefsab]

What are you guys replacing your music with? Down with Kenny G. I say!

Here is a list of some of the songs I've added...

Ancient:
Dead Can Dance - Tell Me About the Forest
Enya - Smaointe
Enya - Ask the Mountains
Enya - The Memory of Trees
Enigma - Persian Love Song

Middle Ages:
Enya - Symphonic
Enya - Athair Ar Neamh
Enigma - Knocking on Forbidden Doors
Last of the Mohiccans Theme
Dances With Wolves Theme

Industrial/Modern:
Nintendo - Metroid Techno Remix
DJ Liquid - I Close My Eyes
Jamoroquai - Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Beethoven - Fur Elise (techno remix)
Shawshank Redemption Theme

(For the record, I kept the techno piece and the classical piece)

Within the first five minutes, I turned off the music in every game I own, or ever owned, and play without music.

The only exception to this is Quake II, where the music actually seemed to belong in the game somehow.

The music in CivIII should be dealt with by the Geneva Convention. I could castrate a cat by making him listen to the music for a couple of hours.

Rofl, good one!!

Forgive a pc illiterate for asking, but how do I replace the civ3 music files with mp3s? I can't simply turn the music off and then start up winamp because it focuses on one application at a time, nor can I find the civ3 music directory

[Zylka]

...and I want the sound effects on at the same time

[Drefsab]

default directory is:

c:\program files\infrogames interactive\civilization III\sounds\build

Just replace the .mp3s in the three directories with your own



Or get a better sound card that can handle both apps at once

*still laughing at Ludwig's comments*

I haven't modified my game yet...still absorbing that exquisite Firaxis immersive gaming experience . When I do fix the music, I'm thinking about:

Ancient:
The Map Room: Dawn - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Dennis Steals the Embryo - Jurassic Park (it sounds sorta ancient...*shrug*)


Middle Ages:
1492: Conquest of Paradise (theme)
Dance of the Knights - Prokofiev (from Romeo & Juliet ballet)
The Princess Bride (theme)

Industrial/Modern:
Imperial March - The Empire Strikes Back
A Fifth of Beethoven - Saturday Night Fever soundtrack
Jupiter - Holst
Mos Eisley Cantina band song (title?) - Star Wars: ANH
Ride of the Valkyries - Wagner

Honorable mention:
Mission Impossible Theme (at least until I win more often)
1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky
anything else by John Williams

Not if My Life Depended on it:
Margarittaville - Jimmy Buffet

March of the Valkyries by Wagner, just when I am about to engage in battle.

Looked and sounded good in Apocalypse Now.

[Dienstag]

March (???) of the Valkyries?
whatever you call it, it darn good fightin' music!

[Deathwalker]

I always turn the music off, the only thing I cant figure is on my computer the sounds from Civ 3 are very low, I need to set the speekers to very high to hear things going on, like cobat? Strange

[Boney]

Check out audio preferences, Shift S. In this you can turn off the music whilst still having sound effects.

[Simpleton]

I prefer some good jazz, soul or funk!!! Viva George Benson!!

[CB2034]

ive been looking for a specific song to add to my industrial age but since napster is down i cant get it... if anybody has
I LOVE U. U LOVE ME
by Barney the purple dinosaur can u email it to me.
thanks

[Dienstag]

CB2034, I considered putting the "song" of which you speak on my 'Not If My Life Depended On It' list, but chose not to. It's even worse than that.

I do have Ernie's "Rubber Duckie" song on mp3, which is kinda in the same catagory only infinitely better. But becuase you invoked the name of the purple evil one, you can't have it.

Download?

If Drefsab & Dienstag wouldn't mind putting their music folders in the Civ3-Files Forum for others to download some of us would benefit from your 'already put together' better music.
