Which Great Works do you want to see?

[Raskolnikoff]

I would be surprised if Civ didn't include Art of War, considering it's used for tech quotes at least twice (?)

I don't think it will be included since it is a political essay and not a masterpiece of art perse, that has had an important cultural influence.

Paintings, Books and Music, no sculpture.

Why do you say that? Artist encompasses sculpture as well as paintings. If they were just painters they'd be called Great Painters, leaving Artist as the generic term used for all three.

 

[God of Kings]

Paintings, Books and Music, no sculpture.

Visit a major art gallery. There are obviously sculptures there. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has so much sculptures from any different cultures.

 

[Raskolnikoff]

My bad, since the character is a painter, I thought there wasn't sculptures. I was never questioning sculptinge as an art.

 

[Raskolnikoff]

In that case, I would definitely see the Venus de Milo and the Thinker.

 

[Dudu42]

Shouldn't it be, if that's the case, great writer, musician and painter.
I mean, musicians and writers are artists too...

Has anyone mentioned William of Rubruck's travelogues yet?

How about the Jami' al-tawarikh by Rashid-al-Din Hamadani?

The Brothers Karamazov by Fjodor Dostojevski.

 

[Raskolnikoff]

The Brothers Karamazov by Fjodor Dostojevski.

I think that if they were to put some work of Dostoyevski, they would put Crime and Punishment.

Rembrandt is already shown in the Great Artist Unit with his self portrait with a beret. The Nightwatch would be the obvious choice for a Great Work.

for my country in Indonesia , Great artworks such as
Si Galigi Mawayang or "Sir Galigi played wayang"
so heres the pic

Spoiler :

Great Literature in Indonesia
Malin Kundang

That would be sweet.

I would be happy if they just included a single Great Artist of any kind from there. I doubt they will though

We know that Monet's Great Work is the Water Lilies, but he painted over 200 different images of water lilies. I hope that the specific Water Lilies featured is this one from 1919: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WLA_metmuseum_Water_Lilies_by_Claude_Monet.jpg

Could we have Bob Marley with his song- Everything is Gonna be Alright

I was most disappointed with Civ's Great Works after not hearing an actual clip of the specific music created when expending a Great Musician. Would have been nice.

Since this thread is apparently back from the dead, I'm still mad about being wrong about this.

But... you totally do? When you create a great work a small clip of that great work plays.

???

Sounds like you have pop-ups disabled or something because this total does happen.

Mainly, I want to have the option of continuing the game and listening to the entire great work of music as I play. I stop to check out the artwork each time a new one comes up, but I don't stop playing for X minutes to listen to all of a given song. It could replace the game music as you play and just have a little ghetto mp3 player on the hud somewhere to X it out.

 

[ollethegreat]

why isnt the book brave new world a great work.
i havent read the book but the game is named after the book.
