Catherine's Theme - Civilization IV

[LordKaisen]

damn Catherine stop slapping me! I'm not gonna give you 120 gold

[GramsciBrigade]

The last one is very jingo and fun to listen to while zooming in on your late age cities, very motivating

[CaeloChantes]

GREAT THEME!!!

[Guillidan]

@TheLastOneUsaw playing on the easy difficulty.

[Citylife10]

The second theme really makes me think of Russia.

[Grax638]

I don't know why, but in my version of Civilization IV this is Stalin's theme too.

[Citylife10]

Huayna Capac or Montezuma are ALWAYS in my games, but both of them are never in the same game :P

[FanDeAlaska]

the 3rd theme is awesome.. i love it! i just play with Catherine to hear this song! =)

[TheLastOneUsaw]

No Catherine I'd rather not convert to Taoism thank you.

[myaw3somerand0mness]

I loved being basically neighbors wih Catherine in the game, but after Huayna Capac became annoying to me, she sided with him in the war so I wiped out the russians and incans and now I just have to deal with Greece and Arabia.

[BartzFFXVI]

Everytime I talk to her she says something sexual to me

Meating her: "I like to get CLOSER to my allies... If you get my drift"

War: "Oh, it's Bartz.... Your very unnatractive. Leave, now."

[gman8744]

@BartzFFXVI "Meating" her? XD

[SuperZubov]

@BartzFFXVI

She often says, "Oh hello, is that a treaty in your pocket? or are you just happy to see me?"

[MrWWFattitudefan]

@BartzFFXVI she winks at you if she is pleased

[Henners1991]

3:16-3:28 is awesome...

[cataphracts123]

You probably wouldn't want to know what she supposedly 'hit'

[BustedKeyboard]

@cataphracts123 Wasint it a horse?

[Grax638]

The late one is great, anyone knows the name of that song?

[swupstik]

She rocks my socks. My best games are always played as Cate.

[1187maximus]

my fav leader to play with :D

[KrakenNoir]

I love the late version especially, it would be great if playing as Catherine, you could listen to your own music as you're rushing the enemy with Cossacks

[poopcritic]

this is an orchestral version of the song sung by Volga boat men

[AResidentoftheCosmos]

That's Peter's theme, the Song of the Volga Boatmen. This is Catherine's theme.

[Grax638]

The theme since 2:48 makes me think about dictatorship, as the one that WMG has over Youtube

[IsntMyNameUnique]

@Grax638 at 2:48 it reminds me of the Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas - aka Mickey Mouse's wizard hat cartoon at 2:13 for com/watch?v=XChxLGnIwCU

[bam859]

Catherine's easily one of the most Dangerous AIs overall (Well, except maybe Psychozuma, Psycho Khan and Psycho Zulu)

Love to play with her tough. She rocks.

[FabulousCrabulous]

LOL Psychozuma xDDD

I hate her as an opponent, but when I play as her I do well...so yeah, she rocks!

[sociopathicregret]

@bam859 shes WORSE, they usually attack you with wimpy isolated units but cathy gets you with big stacks. they made the catherine AI insane, I used to play on prince difficulty for the lulz and I completely destroyed her, then forced her to capitulate. I demanded 5 resources, and the AI actually had the guts to refuse and declare war on me. Keep in mind, I had about 30 tanks, she had muskets. I burned moscow and st. petersburg >: )

[eiffelTowerMan]

@bam859 Psychozume LOL

[StefanKaleta]

@bam859 In my first game, we had peace for like 3/4 of the session, then she declared war to me. I had to give her one city to end that war.

[TsaristRussian180]

beautiful

[ACleverName17]

in the beggining....are those maracas i hear? lol just noticed it now

[needmorebrain]

she is said to be a maneater back in her times. But she wasn't as attractive as depicted in the game...

[DosWallandros]

You remember how she looked like in Civ III?

I was supprised seeing the change in Civ IV.

[sheburns12]

Yeah, holy crap. Totally unrecognizable from the fat middle aged woman in Civ III

[SwordStriker]

Well to be fair, the fat middle aged woman is what she will look like in 20+ years...IMO I liked he older ones personality better though.

[1187maximus]

i've only played civ4, what was she like in the others?

[SwordStriker]

60+Year old women with a wart.

[roryfitzpatric]

can u put up louis xiv's please

[ArcaneStudios]

I was half hoping for the tetris theme

[GigaNerd17]

Hahaha! XD

[eslington]

@ArcaneStudios Shocking data relevant to this conversation: Search for "Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris"

[Francisdn]

I often play Russians... but not as Catherine... Stalin all the way.

[urbis92]

is it just me but.. when playing and making deals with russian empire(this music) whenever aking some action there is like a..uhm.. a loud sound.. like..its like this..like this..like this..and BAM..and then it continues..wth

[7boon]

She once declared war on me simply because she was on good terms with Victoria, who decided to declare war on me for no clear reason. Luckily they backed off.

[ACleverName17]

lol im scared of the russians..they seem to be just behind me in everything..including military strength

except for one game where the french killed them...but thats another story

[MKD247]

Lol the French? Thats just silly!

[ACleverName17]

yeah =p

napoleon really pushed back after cathy killed freddy and attacked france..sure he had a bit of help from the english(me) but i didnt get too invovlved in the war since the main reason for me bieng in the war was political

[MKD247]

I always found the game left Napoleon in the worst geographic position that just screws them up for the rest of the game. He always wants an alliance with me?

My biggest problem is whenever present in the game - Huayna Capac. Cant stand the prick. Expands his territory as quickly as me and always starts some bloody coalition against me with the next three strongest ai. In my latest game I just said fuck culture and now im ripping him to shreds. Hes not putting up much of a fight :S

[ACleverName17]

aww i love huayna capac..

well probly because im peruvian but still...

about france..do u play in an earth map or just a regular random map?

the reason napoleon(i think) could stave of russia is because napoleon early on adopted judaism, while isabella(for some reason..idk) was hindu. they got into a war, izzy lost and napoleon had some extra troops lyin around..at least thats what i think..that game was the first time i ever saw france well....not dead...

[ACleverName17]

oh btw napoleon was later killed...by me...

and cathy was also killed...by me..

roosevelt ..also killed by me...

won a domination victory and in my current game im tokugawa and master of all asia...the turks are putting up one hell of a fight though...

[HiveFleetHydra]

@MKD247 You think Capac is bad with expansion? Joao is freaking unbearable. Sure he has both expansion related traits but does he have to hog every spare square inch of the map?

[itarethetroll]

@HiveFleetHydra Zara Yaqob and Suryavarman II are worse...almost every creative leader is of the most powerful AI leaders in the game. Sure, there are those crazy warmongers, but the AI sucks at warfare.

[BigBenClockTower]

@HiveFleetHydra Yes he does. When I play as him, I do the exact same thing, even on the harder difficulties. :D

[sociopathicregret]

@ACleverName17 I just kill em all, the AI always blows at getting decent units except on immortal/deity, so I just send a stack of infantry at their muskets and shit, then a couple destroyers to clean up their billion frigates

[Umprella]

I shudder whenever I hear this song. Catherine, you backstabber.

[mwarfare]

I think the most advanced faction was the Roman Empire in history.They were such a well organized empire. We can see their effect on almost everything today.Science,politics,literat­ure...etc

[MastaQuicky]

pøh!! the best civ leader is Julius caesar, but the best civilization is tha japanese

[roryfitzpatric]

one time i had a dream that catherine had a big huge 'stash lol

[SombraBlade]

I had a dream I was trying to make workers build improvements. And I had only played the game for two nights... Lol.

[roryfitzpatric]

were u ordering them with ur SombraBlade? lol

[Shadowhog]

Can you put the Tokugawa's up please?

[KoreanKol]

Can you put Bismarck's? The name of the song is Beethoven's Symphony #3 "Eroica" Which was originally made for Napoleon.

[erec40]

yes, sorry, I'm from Belgium and I cant speak englisch verry wel, so.... ;)

[erec40]

thanks for the song, he 's great

[GigaNerd17]

Don't you mean "she"? XD

[gman8744]

LOOOOLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
