Wanted to vary my voting instead of just spamming for the same leaders, and between the two remaining non-dlc leaders, they are almost on-par in my eyes. Russia's is a little better though. I'm more of a fan of Arabia's peace theme though both are amazing. Arabia's does take a while to buildup, and though the payoff is great, Russia's screams, "You've just become the newest territory of my country." which makes it all the more awesome.

But the Huns need to be eliminated. Decent theme, not top 10 material IMO. Hear this theme in the Ancient/Early Classical Era, you might as well hit restart, anything but that and you're laughing. As I've said many times before, sounds repetitive (like my criticism of it) and generic.

I legitimately get scared when this theme comes on. Freaking amazing work to whoever composed this. You've managed to make a prostitute scary. Byzantium has amazing themes all around. I love the darkness of them. A lot of you are saying that it's a choral piece and choral pieces are bad. I disagree to an extent. While it does have choral parts, I think it's more of an orchestra with parts amplified by the vocals. Seriously. This theme is the most downright terrifying in the game. The vocals only add to that feel. Probably my favourite war theme and I will defend it to the end.

Now this is where things get tough. All of the remaining themes are great. Some better than others. For me it was between Greece and Portugal. Both of these themes are looking pretty bad compared to rest at the moment. I do think Portugal's is better though, and therefore off with your head Greece! I feel this theme was dragged out a little too long. Sounds a bit repetitive to me also.

England: The mighty flute gets you this upvote.

Honestly, I think Assyria and Sweden should be the next ones to go. Both are good in their own way, but aren't as cohesive as the other remaining ones. Assyria fluctuates between intensity and somberness, while Sweden's is just all over the place. I'll start with Assyria's, then.

C'mon, Greece, I'll defend you. This feels pretty genuine, as in, I can actually picture the Ancient Greeks playing such a song when talking about war. It is quite well done, and I feel it should last a tad longer.

Dutch: If I could upvote +2 for the Dutch, +1 for the theme and +1 for William's outstanding pants, I would.

Greece: Sorry, Alexander, your empire has fallen.

Greece lands 17th!

Love the part when the pipes (flute? sounds more like pipes to me) enter in the English theme.
Portugal is meh. Is that really a war theme?
 
Arabia - 24
Assyria - 11 I still think this is slightly less good than Portugal

Assyria or Portugal is a difficult choice, but Portugal suffers from not sounding war-like immediately.

England is blessed with incredibly powerful music, that immeditely screms "I'm at war with you".

Assyria: Gonna stick with this one for now.

Zulu: Seriously, the vocals for the war theme are just irritating for me.
