Ironic Tunes

RikMeleet has a selection of tunes for the demogame when a turnchat is being played (like 10 turns in a succession game). Some are said to "dictate play".

It does. The examples are many and can be found in the archives of DemoGame 4. And my Music is randomly chosen.
 
"Theory of Revolution" By AFI when undergoing a revolution
"Far Away Boys" By Flogging Molly when building your railroad network
Anything by System of a Down when war weariness strikes
"Down With the Sickness" by Disturbed when one of your cities is stricken with disease
"The Rocky Road to Dublin" by Dropkick Murphys if you are the Celts and building roads.
 
A revolution should obviously have the song "Revolution" by the Beatles. Quotes from the lyrics are even in the game when you initiate one:

Advisor: "You say you want a revolution?"

You: "Yes, you know it's gonna be alright"

or if you mistakenly pressed the Big Red Revolution Button and want to undo: "No, you can count me out".

I suppose the less cultivated people do not know these things... :cool:
 
"Istanbul (Not Constantinople") by They Might Be Giants
 
- As your cities riot: 'Burning Down The House' (Talking Heads)
- When you suffer a conquest loss: 'We Are the Champions' (Queen)
- When you accidentally move the wrong unit: 'Oops I Did It Again' (Britney Spears -- followed by :vomit: )
- When Mao sneak attacks you: 'Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting'
- When you make an MPP: 'Lean On Me' (Bill Whithers)
- When your suicide galley sinks: 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' (Simon & Garfunkel)
 
haha, i love it when my playlist gets to "why can't we be friends" or "where is the love" by black eye pea when i am in the midst of war
 
If the Egyptians sneak attack you or you are talking to them - "Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles
 
If you wished you'd fought your enemy instead of signing a peace treaty with them as soon as possible: "Fight Test" by The Flaming Lips.
 
Part II - "...Victory through domination..."
 
Megalomaniac by Incubus for ... just about every situation!

Gimme the Money (or maybe Gimme Your Money?) by Spinal Tap for trade stuffs

Art for Arts' Sake by 10CC for Free Artistry

Suicide is Painless for Battlefield Medicine (theme from Mash)
 
There are so many songs that work for when someone is getting pounded in a game. That's cause Civ is like life.
But I'd think maybe Everybody Hurts by REM, "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve and The End by the doors work well. And as a plus The End lasts almost as long as a Civ game.
But I think Closing Time by Semisonic would be the most useful, just to let me know that I could really only take "just one more turn".
 
I can see it now, you implement all this crap, and then when you play it the song keeps changing every two seconds so you never hear anything but the first couple measures of your precious songs and you all feel so sad and ashamed that you cry long into the night, then I come along and laugh at your foolish and feeble existance!

True :lol:

Not to mention it would make Civ3 even slower! (I have a 1GHz system...)
 
you would obviously also need
Revolution by the Beatles for anarchy
Yellow submarine by the beatles when you build your first submarine
Heartbreak hotel by elvis for when diplomatic deals are broken :lol
Bridge over troubled water by Simon and Garfunkel when you reasearch engineering
 
"When Two Tribes Go To War" (Frankie Goes to Hollywood)
"Impi" (Johnny Clegg; about the battle of Isandlwana)
 
If/when you build a Palace, it should play Monty Python's 'Camelot'.

While your Worker is chopping down a forest, it should play Monty Python's 'Lumberjack Song'.

When playing as the Vikings (Scandanavia), it should play Monty Python's 'Spam' song whenever you move a Berserk.

Whenever a city goes up in population, it should play Monty Python's 'Every Sperm is Sacred'.
