Not a bad guess, but given the sizes (about the same as the game's install), dates (Madrid for Beta Testing was about a month ago), and sheer number of modules tied in to it (the languages, SDK, Madrid Soundtrack being 1.01 GB and linking to the 25th Anniversary Soundtrack DLC) , I find it more...

Sayed Darwish was very much an Egyptian musician, though as you note in the sound, operating in the early 20th century, and not from the time of the Pharaohs. He's considered the father of Egyptian popular music and perhaps Egypt's greatest composer. His other works include the music for...

I dunno if there's more coded in somewhere, but according to the Civilizations.xml file, these are the start biases per civ. It does indeed appear that Japan has no inherent bias. On the plus side, this seems like it'll be pretty easy to mod?

Lyrics from R.E.M's song "Man On The Moon." Specifically, the verse: "Moses went walking with the staff of wood (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)/Newton got beaned by the apple good (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)/Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)/Mister Charles Darwin had the gall...

R.E.M.'s Man on the Moon lyrics: Newton got beaned by the apple good/Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp/Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask (there's no specific link between them that I'm aware of, other than the juxtaposition to entertainer Andy Kaufman) Freddie Mercury was born in...

I'm not sure how much more at this stage, but there's more than just the themes of the civs around you; currently I've heard Greensleeves more than Scarborough Fair in this game with Victoria in it. But it does cycle through the musics of the civs present in your game, staying within their...

Not sure if there's a quicker method provided, but if you right-click the game in your Steam Library, select Properties, then go to the Local Files tab and select Browse Local Files, it'll open the game's install folder. The Soundtrack's in the DLC folder. (You can also do it manually by...

Kongo's theme is based on "Banaha", a Congolese folk song.

Just civ-specifics. Like Russia's starts at 38:14. But actually, listening to it, and skipping around, I believe they bungled the upload - the video starts from Kongo and plays in order from there. It straight up does not have America through Japan. It's also missing some of the incidental...

Pre-empted by Firaxis :) Here's the live Sogno di Volare, though.

The details were always there, they're just kind of in a non-obvious location, especially before the Aztec information was there and the top item was the Steam Controller Bundle. It's in the "Pre-Purchase Offer" section, and you'll have to click the arrow to expand the window to read more...

Some full tracks- Industrial America, Medieval France, Modern Japan, and Industrial Aztec(?)

Apologies if I missed it being pointed out already, but as far back as that first wave of videos based on the turn-limited demo, we've actually gotten at least one example of music that's not a civ's theme. (Er, should be 18 minutes and 17 seconds in.) That's "The Arkansas Traveler". It's an...

Going by this Chinese site http://civilization6.vgbaike.com/文明#.E6.B3.95.E5.9B.BD , some additional perks and clarifications for Arabia and Saladin are that The Last Prophet gives Arabia +1 Science for each foreign city following Arabia's founded religion, and Righteousness of the Faith reduces...

Figured it might be convenient to collect the other new agendas besides Philip's in this thread. Also, Tomyris's Leader Ability is called Killer of Cyrus.
