If you could add great works what would they be?

[XboxAddict77]

I assume a lot of the more contemporary stuff are copyrighted. I'd like Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring or Our Town (the actual piece of his music is used in the game.)

Yea I probably won't beable to add music but on the older stuff I would probably put it in, the game NEEDS more works for large maps.

Great Artist - Affandi

Great Musician - Ismail Marzuki

Great Writer - Pramoedya Ananta Toer

But I didn't know about the 100-year rule. Unfortunately that rules them out

There are many amazing Great Works from long ago, but the problem is there are no names to match it. Maybe others know names that I don't

Probably no ones definition of a GW except for me, "Come Fly With Me" - Frank Sinatra

Baby by Justin Bieber.

Baby by Justin Bieber.

Is this a joke?

 

[Asderfut]

Dr. Dre - Nuthin' But A "G" Thang

I think it'd be hard to dispute it's inclusion as a great work of music.

[DonStamos]

The Pillow Book - Sei Shonagon
Paradise Lost - John Milton
Prometheus Bound - Aischylos
The Bacchae - Euripides
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe
Dracula - Bram Stoker (if Frankenstein made it, this should have, too)
Lasting Words to Awaken the World - Feng Menglong
Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Luo Guanzhong
Kojiki - O no Yasumaro
The Tale of Kieu - Nguyen Du
Phra Aphai Mani - Sunthorn Phu

something from Antonio Salieri

I'm useless for art, but all the novels were published before 1900 and should be in public domain by now. I couldn't pick something from Salieri, who was the only classical musician not already included I could remember, but I'm sure something can be found. Was shocked that the Pillow Book wasn't in the original list, either.

I would add in these pieces, some seem fitting, some seem left out, and some I just like.

Writing:
Don Quixote, Cervantes (Is this really missing? Big oversight if it is.)
The Time Machine, H.G. Wells (War of the Worlds would also be fitting)
In Search of Lost Time, Proust (The time you’ll never get back from Civ)
Endgame, Samuel Beckett

Art:
The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali
The Death of Marat, Jacques-Louis David
At the Moulin Rouge, Toulouse-Lautrec
Marilyn Diptych, Andy Warhol

Music:
Brandenburg Concerto, Bach
The Magic Flute, Mozart
Appalachian Spring, Copland
4:33, John Cage (For amusement value)

I've already said this a few times but are you sure this is an issue? The name of the author and a short quote for demonstration is definitely fair use as long as the mod isn't commercial.

 

[The QC]

It would help if people checked their suggestions to see if they are already in the game. You can find the full list in the What We Know About Brave New World thread.

Of course they didn't forget Mozart!

Some things I'd add:

Art:
Caravaggio, The Crucifixion of Saint Peter
Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes or Judith and her Maidservant if you want to stay withing the game's age rating

Writing:
Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin
Saadi Shirazi, Bostan
Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House
The Red and the Black, Stendhal

If you don't know what ou can do with a few minutes of your time, you can Google them, it's interesting stuff . I checked and all are not in the game and meet the time requirement of being older than 100 years.

At least the one in the OP is not the full list, by a long shot.

Try Civilization Wiki's list instead.

 

[The QC]

Sorry, I should have added a link, I was lazy. The full (I think) list is on the last page of that thread. The one in the Wiki also seems ok.

 

[superliminal]

Ah, I was looking at the list in the "what we know" thread, the Wiki is much more extensive (though not much seems to have been compiled on Great Art.) That makes a lot more sense.

I stand by my suggestion of 4:33 though.

Codex Cumanicus.

 

[digrosz]

Toto - Africa
Well, it has probably copyright issues etc.

 

[bjarkieinars]

The Wall - Pink Floyd (Roger Waters as the Great Musician)
The dark side of the moon - Pink Floyd (David Gilmour as the Great Musician)

What are the rules exactly? We have a quote from Indiana Jones in the game; and the quote for Plastics has always been from some movie (I forget the name); then Civ IV had a quote from Douglas Adams (Mass Media I think...)

A few more:

Luo Guanzhong; Romance of the Three Kingdoms:

The naval forces were then lined up shooting on the bank to prevent a landing.Presently the soldiers arrived, and ten thousand and more soldiers were shooting down into the river, where the arrows fell like rain. The whole twenty boats were bristling with arrows on both sides. As they left, Zhuge Liang asked all the crews to shout derisively, "We thank you, Sir Prime Minister, for the arrows."

or

"We three---Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei---though of different families, swear brotherhood, and promise mutual help to one end. We will rescue each other in difficulty; we will aid each other in danger. We swear to serve the state and save the people. We ask not the same day of birth, but we seek to die together

Phra Sunthorn Vohara; Phra Apai Mani:

The melody that he played touched and stirred the heartstring of Pisua Samudr. To her it was at once ecstasy and agony, sweetness and bitterness, joy and despair. As she listened, she fell into a swoon. When the last notes re-echoed in the hills, the Giantess died of a broken heart, and her body turned into stone.

Again, I don't think this is the same thing because we're discussing a mod which I assume to be non-commercial, eligible for fair use.

 

[sukritact]

Could you add music though? I don't think you can modularly add audio.
