Y<\/span>esterday, I ‘har-harred’<\/em> about ‘Edelweiss’<\/a>, the oh-so-pretty-sugar-song1<\/sup> from ‘The Sound of Music’, which I thought I recognized in Civilization.\n<\/p>\n

Guess what, it’s a music theme triggered when the player enters the ‘Industrial Age’. This had me go promptly back to Windows to find out which<\/em> MP3 file was just being played. This is actually easy to find out: Check for ‘Industrial’ in the Sountrack folder. Right-click the header, and select the column ‘Last Accessed’ and there you have it.\n<\/p>\n

The title of the MP3 is just about descriptive as anything, it’s called ‘Dvorak 9 2.mp3’, which is the second movement of Dvorak’s ‘From the New World’ (or “Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95: II. Largo”)<\/a>. Dvorak at Wikipedia, if you feel so inclined<\/a>. It’s a fitting piece for Civilization: it’d be nice if Firaxis provided complete musical data for these MP3s.\n<\/p>\n

A silly aside: when entering the Modern Age, you can choose for the Civ Wonder ‘The Internet’: the programmers at Firaxis chose a highly comical icon for this wonder, referring to the inventor of the Internet<\/a>. I wonder if Al Gore gave permission to use his photo.\n<\/p>\n
