I used to play ragnar, go to modern or medieval era, and just sit there leaving it afk next to the city just to listen to the wonderful song... my favorite theme song of the series
from 0:00 to 1:30 was man's first attempt to rap. The words were a little off. The from 1:30 was man's first R&B song. Finally 3:06 the song came together for the first great R&B song.
The Vikings weren't a civlization, the Norse were. Having a Viking civilization with Ragnar Lodbrok as its leader is akin to having a 'cowboy' civilization with Wild Bill Hickok as its leader.
Thats NOT entirely accurate. I see your comparison to cowboys because they were raiders basically and lawless but when you say Vikings it is generally understood that you are referring to Norway. Also, Ragnar Lodbrok was KING of the Old Norse back then. Wild Bill Hickcock was NOT President in the wild west.
William Connell Ragnar Loðbrok was never the 'leader of the Old Norse', he was most likely king of a few united kingdoms but back then Scandinavia was divided between small patches of kingdoms such as Hordaland, Vestland, Adger, Sweden (as in pre-united Sweden) etc.
Nick d.b You prove my point for me Nick lol He was king and ruler period. You said it yourself. The comment made about wild bill hickcock by Thomas Peterlin was way off base. He was never a ruler or a king, he was a gunslinger and gambling addict.
Nick d.b Huh? You would leave out the Aztec, Maya, and Inca? Three very distinct city-dwelling agricultural civilizations in every sense of the word? All of which had developed advanced mathematics and astronomy, and one of which was among the few civilizations in history known to have independently invented writing?
@@jonesvideo80 NO YOU CAN'T THIS THEME IS LITERALLY VIKINGS I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THIS IF WE CATCH YOU LISTENING TO THIS THEME AGAIN WE WILL INVADE AGAIN
He's mine too, or atleast my family ancestry book says so. He was semi-legendary so it's anyone's bet, but being an ancient king means that your genes are probably in a LOT of people. Charlemagne is related to nearly everyone in Europe, and Genghis Khan? We don't talk about Genghis Khan's lineage.
Yes. (I know my username isn't Jake12157, but that is my other account I used to have a friend name Jake he gave me his, legally). So i am part mythological
I unironically love how Ragnar just gives you a thumbs up when you complete a deal with him.
Cha-CHING!
Heavy smoker trying to rap while passing a kidney stone.
The first dubstep ever created.
He's smiling at you, cause he knows you neglected to get archery before he got chariots.

>Meet Ragnar in the first 30 turns
>Get flooded by a hundred chariots in the next few minutes
Still love this fucker's theme.
Ragnar invents the Alphabet
0:06 E!
viking alphabet
one letter
one nation
and a lot of angry vikings
This theme is awesome.
Doesn't follow Scandinavian folk harmonics at all. But still awesome. Used to be my favorite.
"used to be"?
The most awesome theme of the game
This is probably as far away from viking as it could get. However it's quite nice.
It starts off with Ragnar using HORN HERLMETS.
to be fair, it's a socialist song from China called "Song Sung Building Roads"
@@dsch0 wtf, it is. why did they use a modern-ass chinese song for the theme of vikings. wat.
@@lemonbreadd4427 how they even do that, they even made it sound like a war song
@@dsch0source?
I have memories of leaving my computer on either Brennus or Ragnar's screens just to listen to the music
same
GotPotatoes24 I couldn't agree more
Brennus, Ragnar and Peter were the best themes of Civ IV

I swear. Someone's going to make a remix tape with these songs.
*Let the Copyright Infringements BEGIN*
Green T has made some really cool remixes for Saladin, Gilgamesh and Huayna Capac
3rd theme is truly Epic
Have been listening to this while making my last video about the Viking empire. Civ. IV soundtrack is amazing!
I think Im going to go crazy just trying to find music that's like the first part. So hard finding such tribal sort of stuff.
Have you find something?
Probably late buy channel named Danheim have this sort of music
EDUT: or close enough:)
This is an adaptation of a chinese socialist song callled "song sung building roads" it has no relation to vikings or scandanavia.
The mighty Thor, Norse's god of thunder at the end.
It sounds like a heavy smoker trying to rap while passing a kidney stone.
Its not a big deal wether you call them Norse or Viking, as long as people understand what you mean.
Last time I played civ I never even heard this. This guy irrationally declared war on me over and over. His stacks were obliterated every time.
Doesn't the third part remind you of Babylon's war theme in Civ V?
This is cool. Thanks for doing this vid. for my ancestor.I know you did vids for all the other leaders in the game but its still cool
interesting if viking music was this kind
Kelts had helmets with horns, vikings had medieval helmets...
"ODIN IS WITH US!"
HEY I DON'T THINK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE RAGNAR GO LAUNCH THE ANGLO SAXON INVASION
@@carrotizgud9222 It's called a joke
@@jonesvideo80 BUT YOU'RE LITERALLY AN ANGLO SAXON.... ON A VIKING THEME
DO YOU WANT TO GET PILLAGED?
@@carrotizgud9222 Dude can I not listen to music?
@@jonesvideo80 NO YOU CAN'T THIS THEME IS LITERALLY VIKINGS I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THIS

Galley slave song to me. I love it
Me too
It is culture! Now let's sing 'Kumbaya' !
Yet good at the same time
This is very good I like civ four!
Yep, best civ game of the group.

@TheLahna87 I would love to see the Finns in the game or maybe the Magyars
if you're scottish you have more probably to be related to the Celtics - Another one fantastic culture!
this is my fav civ besided the mongols
My ancestor was a god who was also the king of england and the queen of Spain. Definitely not some random scottish guy.
RAGNAR for RAGNAROK!! Vikings to the win.
@Teonod it is? I was thinking it was either a kantele or some sort of dulcimer--it sounds more like straight pitches than overtones……
I like how it has some similarity to the Russian theme.
That stringed instrument in the background sounds vaguely like Catherine's theme.
Classical strings resemble the Red Army theme imo.
*medieval/Renaissance theme strings
Hello, have you ever heard of the Rus Vikings? The Russians are Slavic vikings that are in a way disjointed cousins.
@@joshmcirish352 I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but aren't the Rus just ... vikings? I'm pretty sure they just split up
3:22 sucessful chariot rush.
3:07-4:40 epic mode on
Babylon kicks vikings arse any day of the week
E!
holy shit TEH VISKINGS INVETNED ALPHET???
And mine too!
The Ragnar's rap lol
This is best theme. All the others are shit compared to this. You're wrong.
Except for Spain and maybe Arabia
Yeah Catherine is nice too
Fuck it they're all great
Not Maya though
Hey, modern Maya theme is great.
E
Best ancient you can have... VIKINGS!
Music is so funny
So you're part mythological?
eeeee!!!
I'm wondering, as a finn, where is the Finno-Ugric civilization, since they weren't even in civ 5!
TheLahna87 Finland was part of sweden for a long time. Gustavus adolphus would be the finnish leader effectively.
I thought it was sarcasm when you said you were half mythological.
Yes. (I know my username isn't Jake12157, but that is my other account I used to have a friend name Jake he gave me his, legally). So i am part mythological
lol, why do you doubt it, anyone can be his descendant. like genghis khan, he had more tahn 100 sons and daugthers
I'm a descendant of multiple kings of England.
hello cousin.
@Jake12157 Really? Wow... And I wasn't being sarcastic.
@Guillidan lol
@SNazerine I have one
I guess so, I know that the mythical stuff wouldn't have happened...
What? you don't believe me
Roskilde
@Samwd1 Other way around.

why?
