Reminiscing of early Civ IV days :)

I've tried to keep silent about this, but I can't. I wish I could transfer not only the menu music but the whole introductory movie from vanilla Civ IV to BtWS. I loved it.

Interesting! I was teaching my dad to play on vanilla civ4 and I realized I had forgotten about poor ol Baba Yetu... so I gave it a listen for old times sake

I went right back to BTS music for some reason but of course you have now inspired me to poke around and check out Baba Yetu and the Warlords theme again

Hackensack, brothaz

Isn't that where Lex Luther's girlfriend's mom lived?

 

[blitzkrieg1980]

I'll have to look into that . I know that if you think living in Hackensack is moving up, then Billy Joel's moving out.

That is all you get for your money.

Ever hear the song Empire by Kasabian? Its the perfect civ song

Was playing a standard Pangaea, Prince, Aggressive the other night. With my cannons, grenadiers, and cavalry roaming around well into the 20th century - it reminded me of Civ4 as I played it two years ago. Exactly the same. It's still the same old beautiful game. The same old tactics work more or less the same as before. But that's good. My old faithful Civ4. In fact I used to be a predictable warmonger back in 2001 when I played Civ3 while at university. So really the Civ experience for me has been the same since 2001.

You're not very far. Essex county, near Newark, suburbs.

It's an option inside the game, right in the options menu.

You can choose from Vanilla, Warlords, and BTS intro screens. Moment I saw that, I went back to Baba Yetu myself

Actually I would like to replace ALL the civ IV music from Civ III since I like that better, does anyone know if that is possible? I would transfer everything but the modern age. The modern age in Civ III is pretty bad IMHO

I'll have to look into that .

I just remember Superman drowning in a pool with chains of kryptonite around his neck, and then Lex's girlfriend, having learned that Lex's nuke is heading for her mom's hometown, frees Superman on the condition that he diverts or destroys said missile. I *think* it was Hackensack, but I'm not positive.

[edit]I'm right!:

Meanwhile, super criminal mastermind Lex Luthor is intent on committing "the greatest real-estate swindle of all time." To accomplish this, Luthor hopes to cause a major earthquake in California by using the U.S. government's test launching of two missiles. He reprograms one of them to hit the San Andreas Fault. The other missile is to be used as a diversion and targets Hackensack, New Jersey. The California quake will cause all of California to slide into the ocean, making the vast tracts of desert land that he had quietly purchased skyrocket in value when it becomes the new West Coast of the United States.

Luthor perceives Superman to be a serious threat, luring him to his lair with a threat to gas the population of Metropolis. He traps the superhero with kryptonite — the only thing to which he is vulnerable. However, Superman escapes with the help of Luthor's assistant, Eve Teschmacher. Miss Teschmacher is frightened for the fate of her mother, who happens to live in Hackensack.

I can still hear her saying, "But, Lex, my mother lives in Hackensack."

Yes, but can you also get the old introductory movie from Vanilla Civ IV instead of the Swearing Dutchmen and Toothy Abe?

Well, they *sound* as if they are swearing, at least.
