Easy way to change a civ's music?

[Rpger29]

Does anyone know of an easy way to swap one civ's soundtrack with that of another? I love the diversity of music in CiV and G&K, but the Americas soundtrack gets pretty tiresome and repetitive. Any simple way to copy/rename some .xml files to change say... the Maya soundtrack over to one of the others?

You can use the Soundtrack Column in the Civilizations Table. Here's how you would make it so America has Maya's music in SQL.

UPDATE Civilizations
SET SoundtrackTag = 'Maya'
WHERE Type = 'CIVILIZATION_AMERICA'

in XML

<GameData>
<Civilizations>
<Update>
<Where Type="CIVILIZATION_AMERICA"/>
<Set SoundtrackTag="Maya"/>
</Update>
</Civilizations>
</GameData>

That bit of xml is very helpful, but which xml file exactly would I be changing? And is the line already in there, or am I inserting it (say into the CIV5Civilizations_expansion.xml file)?

Edit: I think I get what you meant now. I'm making a new mod with that as the game rules change. I'm swapping the repetitive Maya soundtrack out for one of the Euro ones.
