I still haven’t played any games since the start of this summer vacation, and I’m really depressed…… The long-awaited Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Hammers of Fate still hasn’t appeared; Sword and Fairy 4, which I had preordered early on at Amazon.cn, has already been delivered to Beijing, but now I’m in Shanghai…… As for Civilization, I’ve been playing it far too much……
Today I discovered that GooglePage has been restored, and for the time being I couldn’t find a place to upload music. I noticed that there were already two background tracks from Civilization uploaded there, so I’m just casually posting one of them here. This piece was already in Civilization III, and it’s quite classic (at least it left a deep impression on me); it was then added into the Civilization IV expansion. But it seems to have been re-recorded, and it doesn’t feel as exciting as it did when I played Civilization III before.
Of course, this kind of music only feels right when you’re listening to it while playing the game. Apart from these, most of Civilization IV’s soundtrack consists of world-famous pieces, with different styles for different eras—for example, the Middle Ages are dominated by religious music, while by the Renaissance it becomes Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and so on. It matches the game very well; it’s just that I don’t really like the “modern” music……
As an extra, here is another piece of music from Civilization IV: Warlords. http://hyl510.googlepages.com/ChineseUni.mp3 is the background music for the Chinese Warring States campaign.
