The music is often taken from other sources:

Whenever a player builds a Wonder of the World, a short video with music is played. The five different releases of Civilization II have added and subtracted tracks from the mix, with Fantastic Worlds containing the largest number of tracks of all releases. Over 200 MB of space on the Civilization II CD is taken up by the music, 280 MB is occupied by the videos (many of them are historical footages), whereas the actual program data takes up less than 30 MB. The music can be played back through any CD-ROM drive. The songs are quite varied some are from the 19th century classical era, such as the Blue Danube Waltz, while others have a tribal, tropical sound to them.

Indians – ' Gautama Ponders' (original)īesides the main theme, sometimes known as ' Civilization Opening Theme', other tunes used in the game were Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in the 'leader's day' celebration in cities, as well as the Funeral March from Beethoven's Third Symphony.Ĭivilization II 's music is in the Red Book CD-audio format, the same as that found on normal music CDs.English – 'Rondeau' from Symphonies and Fanfares for the King's Supper ( Jean-Joseph Mouret).Chinese – ' The Shining Path' (traditional).Aztecs – ' Tenochtitlan Revealed' (original).Russians – ' Song of the Volga Boatmen' (traditional).Greek – ' Aristotle's Pupil' (original).Americans – ' Battle Hymn of the Republic'.Egyptians – ' Harvest Of the Nile' (original).Germans – DOS version: ' Variatio 4: Lo stesso movimento' from Goldberg Variations ( Johann Sebastian Bach) Amiga version: ' Rondo alla Turca' ( Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart).Babylonians – ' Hammurabi's Code' (original).The same music used for the Aztecs was also applied to the Barbarians whenever they invaded a city. Most of original tunes were composed by Jeff Briggs, while others were taken from traditional or classic compositions, referring to each national culture (civilization) represented in the game. It crashes once in a while, nothing too dramatic.The soundtrack of the original Civilization game was available in either digital MIDI format for DOS version, or in tracker format for Amiga version. We would just let it do all its computation during the AI’s turns) and then play/click when it was out turn, it was working great, but if you clicked like mad all the time, it gets a bit overworked. We played a 2 players multiplayer game, Large Map (10 civs + 20 City-States and Pangea) up to turn 200, then my MacBook crashed and we couldn’t go further.īut we played many, many, and I mean many hours on a standard map setting (8/16) and it went fine, although some turns take a while to process, especially in the later game (turn 300+) you just have to be patient and let the computer work. takes forever, but I don’t care for that map setting, in fact I find it confusing, for me the hexagon map works well. Works fine when I play on the hexagonal map setting, but very slow when I play on the graphic/sprites map setting, the time to render the map, terrain, units, etc.
