Mongolia: No matter how far behind Genghis is or how small his military, this piece of music makes you feel like you are going to lose your conflict. The music is incredible.

India: Their peace theme is amazing. Their war theme, not so much. I find it rather disorganized and to not impress me as some of the other ones.
 
Shoshone - 20+1=21
Iroquois -20 - 3 = 17
All other civilizations with no changes.

Shoshone has good music, sun god theme and Apocalypto theme right after. That's a right fit...
Iroquois does have ok sound but the war theme isn't as good as Shoshone's...

I really like the Netherlands music in general it's all pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uf81Ikqnrw

Ill second India for worst theme. There are others I also dislike but India's just doesn't seem right to me.

I love Gustav's Music all around, but especially war. It's a little generic when it begins, but it's awesome when the Fiddle(?) starts.

Polynesia's just sounds messy to me, and the start would fit in perfectly with the Tri-pod noises from War of the Worlds.
 
Arabia: 20 -3=17 Because Civilization BO sems to european to me(the instruments) and isn't imersive as civilization iv, and I think it is a good exemple.

Babylon: 20 +1=21 Because it is one of the much thematically imersive to me.
 
Oi, is it too bloody hard to copy/paste the list and add your changes in there? Saves a lot of annoyance.

The Dutch: It sounds like a Rennaisance Imperial March to me. How is that not awesome?
Morocco: It sounds a bit unhinged. The peace theme is good, this one...not so much.
 
It may assist if the OP stated what they are actually asking- what are we voting for?If you are after a poll rules and directions should be clearly explained- not a link to a different thread.
 
Read the entire thing, Convict, specifically this part: As usual, all civs start with 20 points, and if you want to upvote a civ, give it +1 point, for a downvote, -3 points. You must wait for 24 hours before you can vote again. This thread will be for the war themes.
 
War themes as in the piece of music played when you declare war on a civilization. It's different for each one.

Indonesia: The gamelan sounds pretty incredible when combined with Western intstruments. My favorite part, however, is that short part where only the string instruments are playing. EPIC STUFF.

India: I'm sorry, Gandhi, but I really can't think of anyone else to downvote right now.
 
You know, Scotch0101, this isn't a closed thread. If you want to upvote the Dutch theme and downvote something else, feel free to.

Am I biased towards Portugal? A tad :p But I do think it's a really good theme. At first, I didn't like how similar it sounded to the peace theme, but it has really grown on me.

The Aztec theme is pretty forgettable. If the goal was to make the Aztec theme sound creepy, they didn't quite succeed, I feel.
