War theme elimination thread

Excuse me, but IMO that rearrangement is kinda bad and clearly encourages strategic voting. Also, in 2 pages the scores will be heavily disordered and you'll have to rearrange them again. What was wrong with the alphabetical order?

England- 24
Russia- 23
Shoshone- 23
Brazil- 23
Carthage- 22
Indonesia- 22
Spain- 23 - You need to endure 1 minute and 45 seconds of that monotonous build-up, but in the end it's kinda rewarding. Although I know I will eventually down-vote Spain exactly because of the long build-up.
Ottoman- 22
America- 21
Arabia- 21
Egypt- 21
Greece- 21
Huns- 21
Mongolia- 21
Polynesia- 21
Portugal- 21
Poland- 21
Sweden- 21
Zulu - 18
Inca- 20
India- 20
Babylon- 20
Byzantium- 20
Dutch- 20
Japan- 18
Celts- 18
Assyria- 17
Austria- 17
Denmark- 17
Ethiopia- 17

Korea- 17
Venice- 15
Aztec- 14
Iroquois- 14
Siam- 14
Songhai-14
China- 13
Germany- 11
Morocco- 8 - if you want to include a dramatic singing voice, then give a proper epic background music. In the theme's current state the singing feels like a completely out-of-place howling.
Persia- 11
Maya- 7

England- 24
Russia- 23
Shoshone- 23
Brazil- 23
Carthage- 22
Indonesia- 22
Spain- 23

America- 21
Arabia- 21
Egypt- 21
Greece- 21
Huns- 21
Mongolia- 21
Polynesia- 21
Portugal- 21
Poland- 21
Sweden- 21
Zulu - 18
Inca- 20+1 very "tribal" sounding, love the creepy flutes, if I was Spanish conquistador hearing this music while lost in the Andes, I'll be terrified
India- 20
Babylon- 20-3=17, doesn't sound like the original Hymn Zaluzi to the Gods much, more like a dungeon theme in some adventure game
Byzantium- 20
Dutch- 20
Japan- 18
Celts- 18
Assyria- 17
Austria- 17
Denmark- 17
Ethiopia- 17
France- 17

Back to alphabetical, much more practical.

America- 21
Arabia- 21
Assyria- 17
Austria- 17
Aztec- 14
Babylon- 17
Brazil- 24 (So full of intrigue, like many others have said it's like a Brazilian James Bond theme, and I like that.)
Byzantium- 20

China- 13
Denmark- 17
Dutch- 20

Iroquois- 14

Shoshone- 23
Siam- 14
Songhai-14
Spain- 23
Sweden- 21
Venice- 15

Assyria- 17
Austria- 17

Babylon- 17
Brazil- 24
Byzantium- 20
Carthage- 22
Celts- 18
China- 13
Denmark- 17
Dutch- 20
Egypt- 21
England- 25 - Clearly one of the several most-badass war them in CiV. Are there anyone else want to be Redcoat by simply listen to this theme?
Ethiopia- 17

What's wrong with strategic voting ? And it's not that hard to reorganize when you're only casting two votes (says the guy who can't apparently do a basic substraction). In any case, if you guys like it better alphabetical, I'll follow suit.

I prefer alphabetical voting. It's more logical, doesn't need to be reorganized all the time, and makes it easier for me to find a particular song.

America- 18
Like many of the peace themes from Vanilla, you can barely notice that America the Beautiful is there at all, and it just isn't that spectacular.

Speaking of spectacular, at first I thought Shaka's theme was okay, if a little different. But after I played a game with him it really grew on me. Shaka's war theme is just so psycho that when combined with his personality makes for one of the best experiences in the game.

While it's not hard to reorganize it. It's still use some time to do that and find the name one want to upvote or downvote. Note that alphabetical don't need either of that. Just because it using just 20 more seconds from our life doesn't mean we shouldn't get rid of it.

Assyria- 17 +1 = 18 Favorite war theme in the game. Those first few notes are just awesome, which is key because those are the ones you really pay attention to. Might be biased because I got my first Immortal domination win with Assyria but if I'm at war with them, I make sure to talk to them every once in a while just to hear that theme.

Indonesia : One of my favorite theme. Hearing this draw a great impression about mystic-muscular folk landing on a shore and want to fight someone. It's not a bad picture
Siam : It doesn't feel movement. It's just bland. It's like you reflect how much you hate a guy and simply wish him dead. Boring.

So much great music. I'm sure most of these are good music in the purest sense so its gonna be a vote for my favourites.
+1 Greece, very Greek like, I can picture a hero riding onto a battlefield.
-3 Korea. I don't understand this music. Sounds sarcastic. And its over before I realize I am even in a war.

Assyria's war theme is severely underrated. It starts off strong with the trumpets, settles down a little, but by the middle it's already as good as ever. By 2:31 it's one of my favorites in the game.

Again, the Assyrian war them is my favourite. The first 15 seconds are awesome, and while it does get a little less good from time to time, everytime it goes back to the theme it's just glorious.

The Venice war theme isn't particularly venetian, or well suited for war, as well as being forgettable, so yeah.
