Brazil's war music is fantastic. Never loses its Brazillian feel, and the original tune is clear as day.

Siam's war song is just one I find incredibly bland, I barely notice it when it is on.

Babylon: Their theme is awesome. Dark, brooding, fits them really well. My favorite part is in the middle when the cellos are the only things playing.

Persia: Not as good as their peace theme. Doesn't sound good to my ears.

I happen to like Denmark's War theme. I love the horns at the beginning, it really does feel like an incoming invasion.

Meanwhile, Japan's is barely noticeable. Quite disappointing.

Polynesia: Whoever voted down Polynesia should be ashamed of themselves. It is an incredible theme. That chant at the beginning is AWESOME.

Morocco: Those voices at the beginning just throw me off. Morocco is currently tied with India for possible worst theme. The race is on.

Arabia- 17 + 1 = 18 - Who downvoted Arabia's war theme? The part at the middle where the pace suddenly picks up is slightly chill-producing.

Morocco- 11 - 3 = 8 - TheBoulderite is correct; Morocco's theme is just out-of-place. The singing as done doesn't go well at all with the idea of war.

There are quite a few war themes that I really like but I'll give Egypt my first up vote since it didn't get any love so far. Egypt's theme is one of the most various with several different parts each focusing on a different instrument and representing various feelings.

My negative vote goes to the Iroquois that doesn't really tell me anything, it's way too slow, not very melodic and it is monotonous.
 
I never liked Polynesia's war theme. However, I'll agree that there are civs more deserving of being voted down then them.

Morocco- 8 -8=5 Sorry to continue your doom, Ahmed, but man, your war theme just doesn't fit. It's not epic, like some of the others, and it's not dark like some of the best ones. It's just... Kinda puny.

Zulu- 20 +1=21 Shaka looks pretty menacing on his own, waving around that spear, but the theme makes you feel like you really are in trouble when you go to war with him.

Incidentally, I heard the Hunnic War Theme for the first time today. They are totally my next up vote.

I think Polynesia's is one of the best, and catchiest. Love the fact that they combined a Hawaiian song with the Haka.

Meanwhile, as someone who's decided to take Morocco for a spin recently... I do think their theme is underwhelming. The beginning is fine, but the rest doesn't really say "war" one way or the other.

EDIT: I noticed Polynesia's score was wrong for some reason (the previous post shows as 17, but it was 18). Corrected it.
 
Why does that keep happening to me? My bad, again.

Germany: Chances are that in Germany during the Romantic Period, Ludwig van Beethoven was thinking one day, and wondered if a game like Civilization would ever exist, as well as if Germany would ever be a part of that game. He then composed his Ode to Joy which, when played backwards, sounds really dark, thinking that it would be perfect for the German War Song. If he thought that, he was right. Their theme is awesome, and is one of the coolest sounding themes in the game, in my opinion.

Morocco: Congratulations! You, Morocco, have lost the most weight and have become the BIGGEST LOSER!
