Zulu - 19 - There are a few themes that I like for perfectly reflecting different aspects of war. Russia's theme says "War is death and chaos". Zulu's theme says "War is fun!", and given the civ's playstyle you were never supposed to feel that war is a bad thing while swarming the enemies with Impis. Among all other themes that sound like bad news, this one definitely stands out.

Iriqouis: It feels rather meh and is outclassed by the shoshone theme

Indonesia: Mysterious and dangerous. And strangely enough, about a minute in, the theme sounds VERY much like it came out of Batman The Animated Series. Gajah Mada is... wait, joke's too obvious.

DUTCH
When I first heard this theme, I was playing as Rome. I was a bit absent minded during this play session; when William's leaderscreen came up, I was fiddling with my phone... And then I heard it. That music instantly snapped me out of it, and I knew that I was at war. I didn't even need to read what William said, it was all int he music. A strong, foreboding, and fearsome war theme, one which captures the essence of war quite brilliantly.

Oh, darn, now I have to find a bad one... That's the hard thing. Good music, I instantly pick it up, find it, and keep listening to it. Bad music, on the other hand, I generally forget about... However

ROME
The war theme of Rome, is simply bland. It is uninspiring. It does not sound like something I would march to war to. It sounds like something you'd hear at the show of some eccentric wizard in Vegas, but not something that would inspire fear alongside the march of the Roman legions.
 
"Indians incoming!!!" and then the hordes of <snip> screaming and killing everybody. That's what you think when you listen this.

:undecide: There's so much wrong with this statement I just :wallbash:

Everybody seems to find the Roman theme unsatisfying. Perhaps Rome should have used the Imperial March from Star Wars.

It's fine- Byzantium already uses it.

Too bad Rome is stuck with their traditional melody which is probably hard to work into a nice and grand orchestral piece. The war theme sounds evil rather than heroic.

Fixed Zulu.

Like the peace theme, I'm not too overly fond of Germany's war theme. In fact, I hate the fact that it sounds even less like Ode to Joy than its peace theme. Definitely a minus for me.

Meanwhile, I was not expecting a Bossa Nova-kind of music for Brazil's war theme. It doesn't actually sound it fits like a war theme, but the fact that it's very catchy gives it a plus points from me. As I always say whenever I play them, "My threats are backed with parading dancers." :lol:
