Peace Theme Elimination Thread

Hi, all. Before I begin this, please note that I sought out the permission of the moderators before I posted this elimination thread. I am not spamming or doing this without permission. If you do not believe me, ask Browd.

Anyways, the game. This peace/war theme game has been started before, but it was never finished. I am here to change that. 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 24 hours before you can vote again. You must give reasons for your votes or they will not count.

This thread will be for the peace themes. You can find the war theme thread here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=13379184#post13379184

Brazil: The Dutch theme is pretty cool. Brazil's is better by miles.

Babylon: Their war theme may be one of my favorites, but I'm not a fan of the peace theme. It starts too slowly and doesn't improve from there.

Wish I could vote for my Kanem mods Peace Theme. Oh well.

As much as I hate Askia, I love his Peace Theme. It really has a great sound to me.

Japan, on the other hand, gives me a bit of a headache with how high the pipes(?) are.

Celtia: 20 -3=17 Because Civilization BO sems to modern european to me(the instruments) and isn't imersive as civilization iv, and I think it is a good exemple. And civ iv's celtic them was so good... Always stoping gameplay to ear it when speaking with Brennos or Boadicée...

Persia: 20 +1=21 Because it is one of the much thematically imersive to me.

BTW are we allowed to split the downvote, i.e. give -2 to one theme and -1 to another, or maybe give -1 to three different themes? People tend to get after me for doing so if I'm not explicitly told it's allowed.

Good question, AggressiveWimp, but no, you can't split the downvote.

Thanks for asking, though.

+1 to my own music library, I havent listened to the civ tracks since I first bought the game, never thought they were anything special

America- 20
Arabia- 20
Assyria- 20
Austria- 20
Aztec- 20
Babylon- 20
Brazil-20
Byzantium- 21 (+) - Beautiful calming and very fitting for Theodora. When in her leaderscreen you just feel how maginificent she is.. well.. until you get close and personal xD.
Carthage- 17
Celts- 17
China- 20
Denmark- 20
Dutch- 20
Egypt- 17 (-) - Doesn't really stand out as anything special tbh. Just feels like a typical Egyptian song without anything unique. Although, I guess you could say that about half of the other songs but Egyptian Peace just doesn't excite me.

Personally I just find America's peace theme "America the Beautiful" just very soothing. Furthermore, being from the United States I really find it cool that I was able to quickly identify one of the songs in the game on my first playthrough, plus it kinda gives me this weird patriotic feeling when listening to it and playing as America.

As for Mongolia, I just find the theme lackluster compared to other peace themes.

Thanks, just wanted to know.

Right, forgot to mention that. What Browd said.

India: The Eastern instruments combined with the Western orchestra happens to sound really cool to me. One of my favorite peace themes in the game.

Iroquois: I happen to find the animals chattering and the noise of the brook in the leader scene much more interesting than his theme.

You accidentally knocked down Indonesia's score instead if the Iriquois.
