Civilization III Music (Conquests) - Greco Roman

[allanbojorgensen]

I played both "Rise of Rome" and "Fall of Rome" extensively, and won Rise with just about any Civ, but playing as Persia is fairly straightforward. I would LOVE to play Fall as the Eastern Romans, but playing as the Sassanids is fairly easy if you target the Huns as soon as possible.

The music is WAAAY cool and I'm still trying to make my Roman Reenactment society adopt it for shows :-)

[classicrocker13able]

I'm really good at playing Macedonia in the Rise of Rome, in one game I took over Persia, Egypt, Carthage, and even Rome! :D

[jor9njor9n]

@classicrocker13able do you played fall of rome

[jor9njor9n]

my favourite theme

[Agent1W]

This track is what you hear in the drill field of a Roman barracks.

[FriedChckn13]

"Oh, hey, this conquest is pretty fun. I managed to take out those damn Celts, Goths, Scythians, Carthaginians, and Greeks. Let's take a look at the ma--- Why is Russia purple?!"

[Dodec84]

@FriedChckn13 why was that? it's a long time since i played that scenario.

[FriedChckn13]

@Dodec84 So basically Persia colonized the entirety of Russia while I was actually in a few wars.

[navigationsavionics]

AVE CAESAR JULIUS! ET IN RESPUBLICA ROMA! *Does the legion salutation.*

NOSTALGIA NOSTALGIA

[chapynl]

I miss the old songs from this civ 3 game in civ 4 and 5:(

[FPSCreak]

Civ 3 best.

[TeamIzlude]

Many years later and this music still gives me shivers.

[Tomaniahailhynkel]

civ 3 the best civ

civ 5 is a fail

[IlersichProductions]

@Tomaniahailhynkel i thought 5 was pretty good

what didnt you like about it?

[dziltener]

@IlersichProductions I'm not Tomaniahailhynkel, but for me personally, I essentially missed diplomatic options we had in Civ4 - no corporations, spionage, religions, vassals, and very simplifyed government options. The lack of all that made the game play much more repetitive than that in Civ4. Also, city options were cut back.

On the other hand I really liked the concept of city states and the new combat system.

Something they should bring back from Civ3 are colonies.

[Paladin1warrior]

@dziltener Yea civ 5 was a pandering to every little whinny comment left in their forums. They fixed some things and trimmed the game to the point were it is repetitive. Although i do like what they did with the great persons, culture crap and end to the tile of doom warfare.

[puertoricofree]

@dziltener I honestly cannot fathom why they got rid of colonies.

[clipmaster30001]

@Tomaniahailhynkel civ 3 was awsome, civ 4 sucked, but civ 5 is more similar to civ 3 i really like civ 5

[DoomZappo]

This song also plays in the World War 2 scenario of Civilization 4, right?

[LinkMarioSamus]

@DoomZappo An enhanced version is the menu theme for that mod.

[Donvalerio]

*FULL VOLUME*

=)

[kirby28645]

It least Greece is mentioned somewhere in there. 'Greco' Roman. Yeah, I would still give a lot of credit to the Greece. But I must admit, Julius Caesar was pretty cool.

[Hiragnei]

@chicseeker Oh, you're right. Rome was very organized. And for its reward, it was that same organization and belief in its superiority that caused its collapse. Where nature struck down a nation of "horse archers" (who conquered with just as much fervor), arrogance and false civility struck down another. I'm not saying the Romans sucked. I'm saying the Mongols were more than you give them credit for, just as falsely as the propagations of the Roman empire.

[Luver4Trance]

nice music, this is epic!

[darthvader815]

this is the main theme for civ 4's mod road to war

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

Exterminate the horsefucking mongols.

[opianista81]

This song seems to come from Caeser III

[micfac08]

AHA! Finally found this music! I've been trying to find it for days now! I love this song!

It's actually the music played (the first half, anyway) on the start-up screen for the Road to War mod on Civ IV Beyond the Sword, plus background music during the Classical Era during regular Civ IV gameplay. I had no idea it was originally a Civ III song until I literally stumbled onto this just now.

[perfectcire]

Never knew this came from Civ 3, I hear it in IV all the time.

[Guard0985]

I always thought that the building style of the Persian's or Zulu's would be more suited for Egypt...

Which brings me to another point; why do the Indian's have pagodas?!

[Guard0985]

I don't really understand why Egypt was part of the 'Greco Roman' culture...

I guess we'll never know!

[mtdewramen]

Well, Rome sort of took it over for a while, but i get your point, Egypt in my opinion was a seperate culture, and always will be.

[Bellator656]

Well, egypt was ruled by a Hellenic dynasty for a very long time.

[adlex46]

@Bellator656 then taken over by the romans eventually

[aznluvr7]

Yep Cleo was at least part Greek.

[TangomanX2008]

@Guard0985

it was run by greeks. Cleopatra was a greek, a Ptolemy.

[gman8744]

@Guard0985 Egypt does border the medeterranian, but still thats no reason to have Greek temples in Egyptain cities.

[majinalastor]

@gman8744 Actually, it makes sense that Greek temples would be in Egypt because it was conquered by Alexander the great and after he died there were many Greek pharaohs.

[BeautyNeverFades]

Wonderful, perfect for the rising of the classic civilizations... This track is in the Middle Age map too, represents Byzantium...

[beatthecrowd001]

this is on civ 4 as an era background song its amazing. it feels so epic and it gives you a look at an empire that stood strong when it was at its peak.

[guineapig1234]

I know it says Greco Roman but is this the same music they play during the Greek Campaign?

[legorok37]

greco=greek.

[SpankBankLLC]

True but Greek does not equal Macedon.

[SarothCyngus]

The Civ III version of this song is cooler than the Civ IV version IMO.

[ImMaxi]

For me, this song really tells a story, of the rise, prosperity and fall of the Roman Empire.

[CaptainCool07]

yea, its epic.

[kite781]

Rome got there ass handed to them due to there size, same as the Mongolians, Germen's. A lot of nations had this rise and fall, still Rome was badass.

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

The mongolians was far from united dumbass.

[Hiragnei]

Are you that uneducated? During the processsions from The Ancestor to Kublai, indeed, the Mongol nation was perhaps more united than any superpower that came before, and quite a few that followed. If not for disease, famine, and their lack naval superiority, they'd have done far more than history allowed. An un-united kingdom couldn't have dominated so many nations, one of which being the Sung empire. Your statement is insulting to a great deal of Eurasia's history. Dumbass.

[matthewseelal]

@ImMaxi Makes me feel like doing something EPIC and taking over another Civilization ;) LOL

[danyjr]

@ImMaxi For me, this comments really shows who you are. A fag.

[ImMaxi]

@danyjr For me, this comment shows who you are. A bored 12-year old who has nothing better to do.

[danyjr]

@ImMaxi Stop being a drama queen. Your comments are so feminine.

[colin5070]

@danyjr How so?

[FriendoftheDork]

This is from civ 4, classical age theme. Might have been from a scenario too thought.

[thebellster]

Nope. This is from civ 3 conquests.

[FriendoftheDork]

If so it is in both games as im 100% this is in civ4

[thebellster]

I have both games. Never heard it in civ 4.

[FriendoftheDork]

You have BTS? Open up the Road to War scenario and you will hear this music right away.

I also think I've heard it in a the classical age in a game. I haven't played Civ3 in ages so im certain that's not where I've heard this lately.

[thebellster]

Oh. No, I don't have BTS. I should go get that. Do you have conquests? It has some really awesome scenarios, and over-all produces the best game of civ 3 you will ever find.

[FriendoftheDork]

Yeah get it, awesome for scenarios.

Never played conquests, and i gave up civ 3 because of it's horrible system for corruption. Civ 4 takes some time getting used to, but if you do you'll never go back.

I tried to go back to civ2 in a rush of nostalgia, but no matter how great a game it was it can't compare to civ4.

[PTphoenixUK]

well one thing neither civ3 or civ4 achieved to match civ2, multiple maps scenarios, wich I loved (Sci fi and fantasy/midgard scenarios)

[FriendoftheDork]

Civ 4 BTS has both of those - and there are tons of fan-made scenarios for both civ 3 and 4 out there...

But yeah I played Civ 2 mostly for it's awesome scenarios, i liked the historical ones alot.

[irkiIIer]

ya some of the parts of this song where too long, but otherwise it is pretty good :)
