Civilization IV Themes - PORTUGAL - João II

[Alchemisterius]

Anyone knows if this is a real song?

[icucumber75]

Ahaha, you frogot portugal's major advantage... while the turn timer counts down i get to listen to the portugese guitar!

[WatermelonRat]

If I had any musical talent, I would buy a portuguese guitar and an awesome hat like Joao has in Civ IV and go play this music on the streets.

[Aydoch]

In fact I'm Turkish, I think this is the best theme music in the game.

[KopruluRuler]

the portuguese royal family escaped to Brazil because they had choosen the english on an agreement, not the french, then Napoleon got pissed off and invaded the country...

[bigbear197708]

i was watch ufo's...how da hell did i get here

[TheLahna87]

I re-installed this civ 4, I like this much more than civ 5 for few reasons. 1st. in this game there is far more leaders and civs. 2nd. this doesn't requier too much from my computer and many other reasons.

[ostentatiousoblivion]

This is the only reason why I keep Joao around as a vassal instead of crushing him completely :D Lovely music! Gotta love the effort put into creating the world of Civ <3

[LeopardFixJeopardy]

Nice music for a meal!

[cyberpolice9000]

I love how he reacts to first meeting you.

Text: I'm pleased that your explorations have brought you to me!

*stands there looking off to the screen*

*clutches his robes, smiling, while looking away from you*

*half a minute later, "notices" you, pretends to be surprised.

[Captmatt3]

@ last two comments, correction there are 5 add ons to civilization 4 colonization, normal, empires, beyond the sword and warlords

[goetersen]

Best theme of Civ

greetings from germany

[SrSavini]

The best king of Portugal:  D.João II

[jasonaw2]

1Spainish

2German

4Pourtugal

5English

6 and the French Civ 4 rules :)

[danjuno]

Is it just me or does Joao look like the guy from the Monty Python "Spanish Inquisition " skit?

[SirLadette]

Gotta say, i'm digging the bling and pimp hat.

[MateusVIII]

a pity civ 5 had so little amount of factions

[dasmysteryman12]

@MateusVIII Agreed. That's why I stayed with Civ4. ;)

[MateusVIII]

@dasmysteryman12 unfortunately i never had civ IV : (

[anynamethatworks13]

@dasmysteryman12 @MateusVIII Right now Civ 5 is making alot of new factions in DLC packs. I wouldn't be surprised if they put these factions in Civ 5 with even better quality which actually shows a scene of them and they can talk! :)

[NLFonsseals]

@MateusVIII Fear not, it's rapily expanding.

[MateusVIII]

@NLFonsseals with fucking DLC's i don't want to fucking pay to get civs that I had the right to have, i bought the fucking game and now is all about dlc's.

[NLFonsseals]

@MateusVIII I fear i have to agree with that point...

[Lusitanum]

@MateusVIII You mean just like you have the "right" to all the new content that comes in expansions for a given game? Because I sure as hell had to pay extra to play as João II in Civ4 and all the other civilizations that came in that game. The difference being that, if you didn't really like most of the new civs, well too bad, you had to pay for those too.

[MateusVIII]

@Lusitanum But it was in one xpansion, not thousands of DLC's and the original game alredy had more civs.

[Lusitanum]

@MateusVIII Actually, Civ4 had two expansions: Warlords and Beyond the Sword. And if you broke them down into separate packets (again, so you only buy what you WANT to buy), you'd get thousands of combinations too.

Also, having more Civs that feel very samey does not necessarily make it better if than a game with less Civs in which they all have their own distinct characteristics that make them unique.

[MateusVIII]

@Lusitanum still civ IV had more civs and it is disapointing that in civV there are much less

[ninjafrogs97]

@MateusVIII Because you can't have 34 factions in the main game. They have to save some for DLC. Otherwise it would get boring.

[Zukhov1945]

@ninjafrogs97 So what you enjoy paying for that extra content they could've put already in the original game? Interesting, you must be american.

[ninjafrogs97]

@Zukhov1945 Well, I'd rather have Firaxis still around to even MAKE Civilization. And do you REALLY thinks everything ready on release day? Because it's NOT. Planned, but not ready.

[tseantan]

@MateusVIII I hope that changes

[DustinTheGreat1123]

Love the song. Joao always expands too quickly though and thus I hate playing with him as a rival. Playing as him is great though.

[cyberpolice9000]

@DustinTheGreat1123

And playing as him on Terra is really overpowered :P

[fruant]

This is so great. Why did they remove remixes based on Era. I just love the build up going from Early to Middle to Late.

[forcadelta5]

Quem foi o papagaio que não gostou deste tema...deixem-me adivinhar...papagaio...que fala aquilo que ouve...bem só conheço um continente onde existem muitos papagaios...

[hugo182]

Meu pai ouve muitas músicas parecidas com o Fado português... com certeza resquícios da herança deixada pelos colonizadores.

Abraço do Brasil!

[IsntMyNameUnique]

The person who disliked this video, is jealous he is not Portuguese

[kemberliwtf]

Just heard it in the game now,very catching!

What genre is this?I wanna hear more...

[IsntMyNameUnique]

@kemberliwtf It's called Fado

[Lusitanus]

@kemberliwtf the instrument is the cavaquinho (the "father" of ukulele) .....

[kemberliwtf]

@Lusitanus Oh yes,the cavaquinho is largely used here in Brazil too

[Lusitanus]

@kemberliwtf obvious, the portuguese took to brazil and hawaii.

[TempestWriter]

According to my history professor this guy used to carry around a whole roast chicken in his pocket.

[SnaggaSheeYoung]

What is the name of this song ? PLEASE help me !!!

[Caboosethecool]

Good song. Great to head bang too.

[StefanKaleta]

I think that the music in game starts like around 1:28. That part is awesome.

[kennercat]

@StefanKaleta That's when the medieval age music begins. The part before it plays during the ancient and classical era, and at 2:54 the industrial/modern theme begins.

[helpermethod]

Don't want to be insulting, but it sounds like some kind of Russian vodka song.

[nomad1545]

@helpermethod You gotta to listen to some fado, this song is very similar. Way different than some drunk ass russian song.

[edog123100]

my favorites are isabella jaoa catherine and charmeleign(or however you spell it)

[ForsakenProt]

do you know the name of the music?

[TriangleGenix]

@ForsakenProt It's called "Fado

[franciscolpo1]

the best theme music.

because portugal is a nice country.

im portuguese.

and the leader is the best king of portugal in all history.

Viva portugal !!!

[bryanusahu]

@franciscolpo1

Portugal is one the greatest countries ever. I'm proud to be portuguese descent! In fact, most brazilians are! Greetings from Brazil dude! (:

[Barkide]

@bryanusahu Sempre teve a impressao que a maioria da gente brasileira deteste os portugueses quando vejo essas insultaccoes todas nos nossos videos em YT. Mas espero que tens razao...

Um abraco!

[OnionMan]

@franciscolpo1 Portugal Olé indeed :D

My ex girlfriend's dad is the bassist of Starlight.

[EvolvedHel]

@franciscolpo1 my probably fav and funniest one is justinian's

[darkman1461]

@EvolvedHel why?

[EvolvedHel]

@darkman1461 listen to it and find out the music so funny yet cool

[TheKaernd]

@EvolvedHel If u truly enjoed these sounds u can go for the portuguese genious Carlos Paredes, who perfect these songs with it's instrument: the portuguese guitar. U can try Carlos Paredes- Divertimento or Carlos Paredes- Movimento perpétuo

[EvolvedHel]

@TheKaernd ok

[sharadowasdr]

@franciscolpo1 Much more suave than the Isabella tune *( which I think is the 3rd best after the Celtic one ^_^ )

[Annunimas]

I prefer Isabella theme

[slickslicer]

Best theme in the game in my opinion.

[Swequilibrium]

@slickslicer Without a doubt! Akthough the Sumerians are kinda nice, too.

[TheKaernd]

@slickslicer if u guys like this portuguese sound, u can listen to musical group Deolinda wich merges these sounds with more modern beats, for example this song (the have better songs): Deolinda - Não Tenho Mais Razões [HQ]
