[Slinko]

I would like there to be an option to make my own music playlist for different eras, civs, diplomatic status (i.e. war and peace), etc.

Make a mod.

I knew somebody was going to say that.

Btw spontaneously I'd take Enigma for Middle Ages, Tschaikowsky for Renaissance, Prodigy or Eurythmics for Industrial Era, Depeche Mode or Muse for Modern.

Civ 4 had folders for each era, all you had to do was throw your mp3 in that specific folder.

That's really good to know. Thanks for sharing. I hope civ 5 is like that.

Sounds pretty dark and scary... while the GDR looks rather cute.

Hehe Enigma used to sit right at the top of my last.fm "most played" list, solely because I always listened to them while playing Civ4.
Dead Can Dance were another one, they are great for Ancient era.

I like that.

 

[Maniacal]

I'd love to be able to add extra tracks in, most simply by placing them in the relevant folder and having the game automatically play them along with the default ones.

 

[ComradeDavo]

To be honest i never listen to game music as I have my own on a cd player anyway.

How fitting as well as surprising. Didn't know anyone else that listened to them...

I doubt we can do this now, with steam checking to make sure all the files are in the up and up. I think a mods the only way.

 

[cr0ws]

Is Civ 5 going to be steam acquirable only?

 

[Tylerryan79]

Ya, you can buy it at D2D or amazon etc, but you'll need steam to run it. Most have got past it, there was a big uproar at first, but lately not so much, if at all.

Not if you wait for the crack.

Not if you wait for the crack.

for you mqduck, it would be "not until you wait for the quack."

This is a completely baseless concern. For example, in L4D2 I replaced the menu background with the video of Micheal Jackson's Thriller.

Just what do you think a mod does if not alter files?
