A lot of leaders' music is Civ II music. I heartily like that! 
Part of warlords where developers got lazy...

That is, it's new music, based on the tune of older Civ music. I also heartily like it. I'm also glad that they included some Civ III music, but it would have been nice if they had also included more new music.
Well, more new everything, but there we go again...

I don't think wishing for completion is unreasonable. Recycling soundtracks for nearly half of your 10 new leaders (compared with only one in 26 in vanilla!) seems a little laggard for an otherwise assiduous team of creators. In a game that boasts over 90 leader themes so far, surely a mere 12 extra tracks wouldn't be all that difficult to come by?
Truth is though, it's only a minor complaint. I'd still be playing this masterpiece even if the soundtrack consisted of Tandy-era beeps and boops.

How about making new leaders for civs that already have 2, while others have still only have one? No time nor effort to even minimally research a new leaderhead...
And with the exception of Chinese unification (which is damned good) every other scenario has already been done a jillion times before (Rise of Rome...again) or whose concepts where poorly implemented (The Omen pops to mind). All in all, these seemed the work of amatures rather than professionals.
Oh and don't get me started in the buggy vassal-state concept (scroll through the dozen or so threads addressing this issue.

I think Rule Britannia is great for Churchill, but I agree they should have developed new music for the new leaders. It's also surprising they gave Stalin Catherine's music, rather than Peter's music, considering that Stalin had Peter's music in Civ 1.
Guys i dig the game for many reasons but if anything music never been a probleme when it puts your 7 month old baby to sleep with nice medival music you know you got a great game. bah for being lazy i say have a kid and see for yourself.My salutes to the developer.

I find that the manual is a prime example of sloppy / lazy work. Just looking at the leader descriptions, the explanation of protective changes from civ to civ, and there's no mention of the reduced xp levels for the charismatic trait. I'm also not sure about the probity of calling the new features section "new stuff."

What I consider lazy is the fact that they use the same leader music from vanilla civ IV, the music from Civ III and Civ II is alright.

At the end of the day, does it really matter? It doesn affect gameplay, so whilst it might seem lazy, its not as if it changes anything in the game.

That's called sending manual for printing at least a month before game is finished.
That's standard practice, since it takes time to print all those manuals.

Yeah, same here. I thoroughly enjoyed the Civ3 music, and I was most pleasantly surprised to find it playing on Warlords. Not everything has to be flash and new, in fact the old tried and true music is often better.AlCosta said:

Churchill did not intend to keep it (the empire). Google around for 'Englandspiel' and you know what I'm talking about.

Im on the same boat as you guys. Civ3 music its a good thing, but a big 'IF' depending on what tracks they layed out.
havn't heard Warlords yet, so don't know what they did. All I know After hearing thay Over-blown budjet recording of Baba Yet song I was expecting the last dimes for WArlors's budjet going on a rehash of the ol' old Modern theme "LA JAZZ" with a a throw down of Kenny G's best laced on the track
, funny I thought they woulda used that same hook I hear on infomercials for rereleases's of old crap collections "Finnaly! all together for the first time and digitally remastered for your listening pleasuret
"

I would love to have some of the Civ I tracks remastered in a future expansion or in a mod. I just love the music from the old civs.
ok, Englandspiel, the english either made an enormous mess of spying or sent agents to their death. i dont get your meaning.Tavenier said:
