Been playing Venice lately, and I really like their theme, especially after hearing the original song. Great arrangement.

My dislike for Brazil's comes mostly from the fact that I love the original, "Chega de Saudade". The original by itself would be fitting enough, but the arrangement we see in Civ removes all of the Bossa Nova from it, turning it into something indistinguishable from the stock European peace themes. A shame, since the war theme is so good.

Iroquois- 17 - 3 = 14 Is it just me or does this theme seem to hit a lot of off-notes? Either way, it's not a particularly interesting theme; neither do the sounds of the forest mix well with a game where most civs are playing classical music.

Dutch: Their theme is one of my top three favorites, it's beautiful to listen to.

Carthage: I agree with you, AggressiveWimp. Those opening ear-piercing notes are not very enjoyable to listen to, and her high-pitched Phoenician dialogue in the leader scene does not help improve the music at all.

Aztec sounds like their music would appear in the background of a soccer player running in a stadium..

Songhai music is okay like if you wanted to go out.

Shoshone's theme really fits well with the tragic history of their people, as well as reminds me of the great landscape of historical America. It's an evocative piece of music, and I dig it.

As a Thai, I really like all map musics for the Siamese empire, but the leader scene music, especially the peace theme for Ramkhamhaeng, sounds out of place. Thai music is largely pentatonic, and the composer definitely capitalizes on that to create a Thai sound. However the instrumentation and overall concept were executed in such a way that it feels too westernized for my expectation.

Arabia's theme is fantastic, really fitting. Actually had it stuck in my mind all day.

Rome's theme sounds like a sad, decadent empire, slowly heading to its ruin. Rome should be glorious!

Brazil: I'm starting the Save Brazil Association, if anyone wants to join me. While it may sound sad, AggressiveWimp, to me that's part of the beauty of the song. Not to mention that Pedro II had one heck of a depressing life. Look him up.

Rome: The ALL-POWERFUL GLORIOUS EMPIRE OF ROME is a weakling in Civ V simply because of its themes. They could have done more to improve the song. A lot more.
 
Who would vote down Poland, AggressiveWimp?
No one had better :trouble:

Also you spelled my name wrong. ;) Common mistake.
I will say, someone else should go out before Brazil. Even if it's not the best, it's not the worst.
I'll bet 20 invisible, nonexistent, worthless and non-circulated dollars that the Iroquois will be out first.
AKA That's a prediction

I agree with Babylon being one of the first to go. Their Peace theme is very boring.

I also find England's Peace Theme to be much more fitting and enjoyable than their popular War Theme.
