Civ Music

[aahz_capone]

I was wondering what people listened to while playing civ. I think music is an intergl part of a gaming experience and makes the mood all worth while.

I personally switch between ages and stuff, mostly movie tracks and classical.

dude, i just turn the game on and go. i keep it from getting too repetitive by making up lyrics as i go along.

(modern era music)
"suck on me
mr. xerxes...
(funky part) whoo!
i made some tanks
and then i built artillery...
now don'tcha know, persia
i'm gonna come and getcha - yeah, yeah
i stole your tech
i'll make your empire such a wreck
now i will be the leader
of the friggin' modern era - yeah yeah!"

Bella Hella you crack me up!

Sometimes I listen to the game music, sometimes I listen to the radio, and sometimes I listen to a CD - but if it's not the game music it's classic rock (although there is something to be said for listening to the 1812 Overture while pounding on Catherine. )

Very good Bella Hella!!!!

I think you should send your song to firaxis!!!
Maybe then, when a war with Xeres comes, this will be default the song played.

I generally listen the civ3 music when I play the game, but you're right. Sometimes is annoying have the same song playing, especially in modern ages, when the set of songs will not change any more.

I don't go with the music. I used to until I reached the Modern Ages then I shut it off..but sometimes Classical like Beethoven or Mozart, or if I'm in a warmongering mood, nothing beats the only band I've been listening to for over 20 years...Metallica

I listen to the Civ3 music; however, I do turn it down a bit in the modern age.

[Skeeve]

I renamed some of the Opera music from Heroes of Might and Magic II to the CIV3 middle age list.

For the Industrial and Modern Era I put in some classical music, but left the "SmashFull.mp3" original because I like that one.

I'm going to have to turn the music back on, it's been so long I've forgotten what it sounds like.

I listen to the game songs... I like them, especially the medieval/industrial music.

Banana for me. Silence is what I love.

Does anyone know how to get rid of that UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING tingling sound that seems to be replayed every ten seconds?

[HazieDaVampire]

i turn mine off, it speeds up the game! If you really like the civ3 music, burn it onto a cd and play it on your CD player. That way you can have the music and the speed...ed up gameplay.

You mean that 'lovible' wind-chime that plays every 3 seconds the diplomacy screen is up?

I voted for heavy classical music. Nothing is better than listening to the Phantom of the Opera with violins and electric guitars making you feel like a GOD!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proposal: Play SMAC while listening to heavy classical music and everything that includes a mix of classical and other music styles. Heck, it can make you cry! So thrilling!

However, I do find industrial and modern age perfect. Can't understand why you turn the music off at this ages. It is the ancient area music that sucks, IMHO-turned the sound off the first time I played the game.

[Tiberius]

I didn't vote it, but the option I liked the most is:

"I listen to a banana" I can imagine that

Bella Hella Btw, do you actually sing it

[Alex]

Hey, Bella, your band could record that song and you could put it on the net for us civ addicts to download it.
