Petition for Christopher Tin and/or Geoff Knorr to appear as Great Musicians in Civ 7.

[Duke William of Normandy]

Christopher Tin is an obvious choice because of his gorgeous composition Baba Yetu, which was actually the first-ever videogame music piece to be nominated for and win a Grammy.

Geoff Knorr has provided much of an impact on the music of the Civilization series as well, being the LEad Composer for Beyond Earth, and working on Civ 5 and Civ 6 as well. Civ 6 especially shines, IMO, as having one of the best soundtracks ever from a videogame.

Intresting, it would be a nice easter egg, I wouldn't be against it, I quite like the idea.

But my question to you, Duke William of Normady. Which song(s) would you give to Geoff Knor if he would be a great musician in the game?

Probably something from Beyond Eath like "Promethean" and one fo the Civ 6 Music Pieces.

While both are certainly deserving, it would feel self-indulgent to me.

Certainly understandable. Although, I'm sure some self-indulgence from Firaxis wouldn't be that bad. Perhaps only one of the two composers should suffice.

It would feel less awkward with Tin, who is not formally in Firaxis' employ. Use "Baba Yetu" and "Sogno di Volare" and maybe it will at least feel like a self-aware meme...

Moderator Action: Moved to I&S, where Civ VII-related threads currently belong.

I'd second this.
