Civilization V Theme Contest: PEACE EDITION - FINAL

[CivLuvah]

CIVILIZATION V THEME CONTEST
PEACE EDITION

FINAL​

This big inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest. Each civilization gets "represented" in this big poll. Since each civilization has a peace and war theme, the big poll will be divided into three editions: The Peace Edition, the War Edition, and the Overall "Grand Finals" Edition.

Each edition has two semi-finals and a final. The final will be composed of the top twelve themes from each semi-final. Unlike the Peace and War Editions, the Overall Edition will be a combination of peace and war versions. Each civilization would still be "represented". Per civilization, between the two versions (peace and war), the version which has the most number of votes gets to be represented in the Overall Edition. Example: Between the two versions of Washington's theme, the peace version gets the most votes. Therefore it gets to "represent" America in the Overall Edition.

The theme with the most number of votes in the Overall "Grand Finals" Edition wins the title of "Best Theme" in the entire game. There will be also winners for "Best Peace Theme" and "Best War Theme".

The big poll itself would last three weeks, with each edition occurring per week.

This is the final of the Peace Edition of the Civilization V Theme Contest. The winner of this edition will earn the title “Best Peace Theme”

Ethiopia's is and always will be the best in my mind! Don't think they will win overall though

 

[janboruta]

I decided to vote in each of these polls for six themes (and it's hard for me to choose those six... they are all beautiful). But enough talk, those are my votes in the peace finals:

- Greece (as mentioned earlier, it's one of the best, it's cheerful, truly Greek, I associate it with good, sunny days - really. I was listening to this while travelling to town last summer and it fit)
- the Ottomans (I like both peace and war themes, but this is my favourite Ottoman Janissary march, wonderfully crafted into a civ theme)
- Arabia (I think this will be the overall winner)
- Sweden (the best rendition of Swedish anthem ever)
- the Netherlands (Dutch bourgeoisie mixed with the light-hearted feeling of civ4 Dutch theme - flawless!)
- Mongolia (my favourite peace theme of all. calm, soothing, a perfect feeling of the steppe)

 

[GenjiKhan]

I could vote for more,but decided to vote for just 3 :

- Arabia
- Carthage
- Mongolia

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I had to vote for Germany. Ode to Joy (9th symphany) is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I couldn't believe it when i played as Germany and the motif started...it was unexpected and amazing!

I do wish it had more of the motif in the theme song though....it's a really brief reference.

Edit:Why isn't america's theme on this poll? I actually hate it, but I don't know why it wasn't included.

 

[Slvynn]

Carthage / Songhai for pure epicness/depth and real feel of Civilisation, from emerging to glory

 

[JaGarLo]

My votes:

- England
- Sweden
- Mongolia
- Huns

Very good iniciative, Civ4luvah2484!

When does voting end? The past two polls have stated an end time/date, but this one doesn't.

America lost in one of the two precursor votes I assume

Oops... I forgot to put a close date on the poll. It supposed to close on Sunday, July 22. Can any moderator fix this please?

Yes, America didn't qualify in the first semi-final.

I can -> done .

But please write the next time a PM or report the post which needs a change, because we don't check every thread around -> so if you just post it in a thread it might get lost because nobody sees it .

Damn, i got mistaken ! I didn't want to vote for MAYA, but for INCA ! I can't believe INCA are not in the finale ! And I think I got mistaken also in the semi-final !

 

[Civciv5]

I can't believe INCA are not in the finale !

Agreed,the Inca theme is a beautiful song,

England lost!
Oh,that's unfortunate.
However,when is the war edition semi-final starting?
