Best/Worst Leader Music Elimination Thread

Battle of the bands, Civ4-style! Which leader has your favorite music to listen to??
In each division, add a total of 2 points, remove a total of 3 points. Indicate adding points with green text, removing points with red, more than one point with bold. Eliminated leaders should be grayed out. Seems like voting once per 24 hours is standard, so we'll go with that here. When there are 20 total leaders left, divisions will be combined. You may share your reason for voting a particular way, but you don't have to.

I've had the sound turned off for so long I don't remember any of the music.

Same here. I just have various orchestral pieces playing on my stereo system when I play CIV.

When I first saw the title to this thread, I thought it was asking for which leader had the best/worst music play when you eliminated them from the game. And I didn't recall hearing any music when I killed an AI.

NOTES: The themes I voted as liking, I really only like once you reach the Renaissance Era or later. But once you do, their music, I believe, is amazing.

The themes I voted as hating just always suck, regardless of the era.

Also, I voted Gandhi as having bad music, but that should also apply to Asoka because their music is exactly the same.

Welcome to the forums, Thusterness!

 

[Antilogic]

Thread fails because Pacal's whale sodomy theme doesn't start with 100 points.

 

[Manco Capac]

Where's Sid Meier? He's got the best civilization music! I vote best for him.

So basically, people don't understand what I mean, right?
No one ever tried to make a close-up on a barb city on Vanilla. You should try. You would be surprised.

[Manco Capac]

Since people here are blind: Look at the Barbarian Leader theme. The leader of the Barbarian team is Sid itself.

SO
where is he in the list of leaders?

For some reason, this nice theme was replaced by the War theme starting Warlords.

It was a really nice theme. I switched it back in my personal mod in the later versions of the game.

Indeed. Each time I heard it, it gaves me the impression of a small nation in the dark ages during Middle Ages.

Vanilla has weird stuff that doesn't anymore. Politically correct reason? Like the worker animation being killed when captured by a barb. The first time that happened, I was like "WTH". Was it a worker getting killed? And yes, that wasn't the regular "hold up, you're under arrest" worker in front of a bear.
