How bout the theme music from the terminator??

HazieDaVampire · May 14, 2002, 17:15

lol, i havn't downloading it, but, whatever rocks your boat!

I think the directory is (Civ3 directory)\sound\music\indmodern.
That was an overal gess!

don't u mean (Civ3 directory)\Sounds\build\IndModern?

The music that's played in Phantom Menace in the duel between Darth Maul and Liam Neeson's character'd be cool as well. Anyone know what that's called?

zulu9812 · May 14, 2002, 19:25

Do you need to replace one of the existing music - or can you just add it in and the game will play the original + the new one?

Duel of the Fates.

I dunno, would any of that music fit in with the atmosphere of Civ3? When playing, I like my music to complement the atmosphere, rather than just be good music or whatever.
I think the original Civ3 music fits nicely, myself.

Perhaps the atmosphere is created by the music - i imagine you'd be a lot more inclined to go to war with the Imperial March playing in your headphones!

I guess you could say so. But then again, I don't want a Star Wars atmosphere in Civ3. Generally, when playing historical strategy (Civ, AOE), I like to use classical or ethnic music. For more war-ish games (RA2, FPSs in MP), I like fast action rock/techno. For future/hi-tech games (SMAC, C&C TS) I like ambient, soft, spacy-sounding music. Mood is important to me, and to me Star WArs music belongs in one place: the Star Wars universe

Well, I just can´t wait until the giant Star Wars mod is finished, however it seems to take forever for the ppl to get it done... No complaints though, it must be a massive project. And then we could all play Civ-Star Wars! With music and all... Tomorrow's the premiere for Episode II here in Sweden by the way.

same here - Ewan McGregor's gonna be at the Scottish premier in
Edinburgh.

Changing the music around like that is a MUST for me. I just don't see the sense in Kenny G elevator music while my modern armours are rolling into a battered enemy city.

I like to use music from C&C, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun and Half-Life in Industrial and modern eras.

If I feel like changing ancient era music, music from Age of Empires also goes in.

I swaped imperial march with the dance music, cuz i just find it plain annoying. And i didn't choose the imperial march cuz its from star wars, i picked it cuz its sounds like a national anthem for some empire! (Bit obveass isn't it!)
