Favourite Sound Effect?

[Rodgers]

After reading the Manhattan Project thread below it occurred to me there are some pretty groovy sound effects available in Civ 2.

What's your favourite one?

Myself I enjoy the nuke the best, followed by the machine gun effect of mech inf.


UPDATE - These answers (below) are pretty good but what's the most IRRITATING noise in the whole game?

Civil disorder is pretty depressing i find, also the Warrior fighting sound is ridiculous - no wonder that unit is held in such contempt by you lot.

Definitely NUKES!

Although some from the various scenarios also sound really cool.
But for the original game it would be nukes, probably followed by Cavalry!

 

[Sodak]

The ELEPHANT!

According to my wife, that sound effect is the only redeeming quality of the game. She'll usually roll her eyes when I play, but laughs when the elephant attacks. I like it, too, but not so exclusively, of course.

 

[mchorlton]

I too, think that the nuke is the best sound. Although the divebomber sound from the fascist patch is pretty good!

 

[ArmOrAttAk]

Spy sound, there's just something about it. mwahaha

 

[Ren]

I like the Howitzer (and cannon & artillery)

The nuke is pretty cool

So is the elephant

Battleship, AEGIS Cruiser etc.

Cavalry (dragoon)

and the caravan sound is pretty funny

 

[Deadeye]

It's gotta be the Nuclear Missile!

 

[insurgent]

The Helicopter sound

 

[Smash]

I like the elephant sound.And the ones that use "Fire!"(cannon,artillery,howie)

There are some sounds in the sound folder that are not used.If you rename pompcirc.wav to revolt.wav(iirc) you'll get a small passage of "Pomp and Circumstance" when you revolt.

While nukes may be the best sound effect, I try to play my games so that sound is not heard! As a result, my favorite would be the cruise missile and/or the cannon/artillery. "FIRE!" My wife always knows when I am busy beating up on somebody!

 

[Mayhem]

I think the sound effect of the mobile caravan coming in is quite comedic.

You got some guy going "hEy hEy heY."

 

[philippe]

nuke sound

 

[napoleon526]

I like the loud battle screams of the knights.

 

[Dark Ascendant]

Battleship, definetly. It's just aggressive.

[Richard III]

The machine gun in the WWI scenario. Amazing! Followed shortly thereafter by the rebel yell in the Civil War scenario.

 

[starlifter]

I know somone that uses the Nuke sound whenever the boot Windoze! Beyond that, I agree with Sodaq... the Elephant is hilarious, and sounds good. Just imagining an Elephant attacking a Rifleman or something is funny.

Nothing beats the sound of a plane's engines sputtering out and then crashing. I build lots of fighters just to kill em off 1 turn later

I agree that the sound is kool, but you build fighters and kill them off for the sound? (hint hint you can play the sounds as .wav files, they're in the Civ 2 folder on a hard drive near you )

 

[Marlos]

Yeah, Zidane, I agree with Ren. Nothing like wasting precious shields to hear a sound effect! Perhaps you are saving before you crash the planes and reloading?

 

[Zidane]

That was a bit of an exageration. I don't build masses of planes just to kill. But usually when i play i'm so far ahead of the AI in every aspect that even wasting 50 turns in resources and research would make a difference.
