Civ -N- the hood

[Alpha Infantry]

I love civ, but it needs some....umm....how can I say this..."COLOR!"
By color, I dont mean like, red, blue, green, or like that. I mean african american aspects. Maybe the music can be changed?
Like, once you get to the modern age, the beat can turn into like a hip hop beat. instead of that Jazz ish, feel me?
Yeah, the culture advisor is black, but she's soooo lame. her bald head makes me puke, maybe she can have corn rolls instead, or maybe a wrap. roflmao. Ionno, Im wyld`n out right now.

 

[Admiral8Q]

Zulu's maybe then?

I always have Shaka as an opponent/ally Civ. He's da bomb!

BTW, yes the music is overall, terrible to be kind. I'm making a music mod pack at the moment

 

[Turner]

The great thing about Civ3 is it's customization. I would stroll over to the Creation and Customization subforums, and see what they've got.

 

[Admiral8Q]

Hmmm... I think my music mod is going to be big, even zipped... oi!

 

[Alpha Infantry]

yeah, the Zulus is gangsta, but Shaka look like a prick.
There should be more than 1 black civ. Jamacian??...or something...
and for the music, they need some Dipset on that ish. or maybe Cassidy or Joe Budden. That'll be piff. I'll play Civ all day.

Sometimes, when I play for hours straight, and I be far in the game, so the computer turns get longer..listening to that music makes me sleepy, and I end up taking a nap right in front of the screen. Customize it and put some Killa Cam in it!

I agree. Their should definately be more African Civs. I've lived down in Africa myself and beleive me, Africa has at least (if not more) variation in culture as Europe.

Yep. Same happens to me.

I'm still piecing this music mod together, it's big and to my personal taste. I like humor so I included some silly songs. I'm trying to keep the music as close to Civ as possible.

Yeah, they also have large populations divided amongst the cultures as well.

 

[Alpha Infantry]

Exactly, I dont see why, Africa-The Cradle of our world- only have 1 civillization in the game.

and for the music mod that you're putting together, are you goin to have voices on them?

 

[Admiral8Q]

Definately, although Egypt could be considered an African Civ

and for the music mod that you're putting together, are you goin to have voices on them?

Well, it's a bunch of songs I'm piecing together. Why? Do you think I should only have "non-voice" music?
I've been thinking about that also.

 

[Alpha Infantry]

yeah, thats true, Egypt is technically an african civ, but then, if you think about it, like, 60% of the civs are african then. Isnt Arabia in Africa!? and Persia in Africa..and ...... I know there is others..just dont feel like thinkin of them all.


and for the music..maybe real voices will do, but you would like, have to decrease the volume of the voices to the music. because hearing voices while playin may kill the modd.

but actually, you can have both. Have just the music in the ancient, and Medivel, and have faint voices in industrial and modern.

Well anything on the east side of the Suez Canal I don't consider African.

Well, I've been choosing tunes that seem to somehow fit the mood of Civ. I turn the music down anyways when I play, but I think with this collage I'm pasting together you may have to turn down the music a notch or two. I'm including alot of non-voice tunes to balance it out.

Anyways, it will have to be play tested to know what works and what doesn't.

The problem with Ind and Modern is that there are only 4 Ind and 3 Mod

 

[The Omega]

I like the music from the modern age........

 

[The Fjonis]

I'm so fed up with the Civ music now. However, I do like the new Age of Empries III theme (although I guess that game is taboo in here..) Been listening to it over and over lately.. Here's the link; enjoy!

There are more blacks in the world than just African Americans, man.

I agree that Africa is sadly under represented. You should remember though that the Egyptians and Carthaginians are also African. I suppose you're talking about "blacker" civs that are more similar to the Zulu, but Egypt and Carthage count as African civs in the same way that Scandanavia and England count as European civs. All four may be on the edge of their borders, but that doesn't change anything.

I'd like to see additional civs in civ4 from the African and American culture group. Perhaps a civ for the Mali and one for the Cherokee?

 

[Tomoyo]

There are some civilisations like the Bantu or Songhai that should have been in the game, but most casual players would have never heard of them.

 

[Nate128]

Carthage could be considered an African Civ as well.

@ admiral,

why dont u make the music mod u are makin a program that will run in civ and use Mp3's. So you can totally customize music. Like u can have it floating in civ ( top corner?). now I know u can do this with media player but i still think it would be a cool idea....

 

[YNCS]

Oh yeah, there is music in CivIII. I've had it turned off since my second game. My CD collection has much better choices for music than what the game offers.

Im not speaking from there point of view. Im speakin from ines, an african american. other lacks in the world is not heavily influenced by hip hop in the world like african americans.

Did you read the thread?! me and Admiral talked about this already.

ok, I guess.

To be honest... It's terrible!

Good idea, but I actually had to figure out why my mod wasn't working out. I have to convert most of the files to .wav

Well I did, and now I'm going to playtest it.
