Well, first day I got the game and already having ideas for mods, well well.
Some of you may have noticed the music ingame is almost the same as in civ2, just played in a more modern way. I don´t like it :D

Thus I thought, "Hey, if they just wanted to use the old music why not doing exactly that myself?"
So, I have Civ 2 lying here with me and here I am, wondering where the hell the music is on the cd and either in the file :confused:

Anyone able to help me?
Or support me in this quest of mine?

You don't like real pieces of classic music? Shame.

I do, indeed I do. It´s just that those of CIV do not meet my style of classic.
Put in some Wagner, Bach or Heidn :goodjob:

I'm not sure where the music is (I tried to look for Civ2 music before, maybe in an attempt to play it in Civ3, I can't remember). I'm guessing it has to be on the CD.

Should that really be the case I must be blind. But I agree with you, for it has to be on he cd in order to be copied over to the hdd. But I simply can´t find it.
Had Civ2 some special-data-files-format-thingie which you need a special extractor for?

The Civ II music are actuall audio tracks on the CD. Back in the day there was no real way to compress audio like we do now (and most processors couldn't do a game and audio decompression at the same time), so music had to be gigantic wav files or cd audio tracks. So to get the civ 2 music you would need to rip the audio just like any other audio cd. Note that track 1 is the data track, so it isn't music.

I just miss having Dixie playing during a game. :) I was a young'un when I first started playing Civ2, so I always thought that it was only a Civ2 song =P.
