I have a Russian girlfriend so as proper procedure goes, I show her this. She says she hates the stereotype of Russian composition being this and I quote "This Viking Volga Boatmen shit" and then when I TRIED to convince her it was Capulet's and Montague's she said "This is nowhere near, it's not cheery!" Sooo...maybe this music does sound a little stereotypical...she said she was expecting Tchaikovsky because of his fame! Honestly, I love this song for Russia because I agree with you, but she has SERIOUS national pride for her country so I guess you could say I saw both sides of the coin but TO the point. I agree the composition has the feel of Russian downfall AND triumph, but on the other they should have went with Tchaikovsky because of his fame and as a pioneer of musical culture.
mkalover232 Catherine is German and you Ruskies always get fooled into following them, during your Monarchy you had been ruled under a German and during your Socialist regime was actually a manifesto created by a German and also your weaponry can be tracked back to German weapons
First game as a random leader is 100% the way to go. Creates an unforgettable experience as you try to specifically time out the game to use their unique unit as soon/much as possible.
This is the theme you really want to hear if you're playing on the last two difficulties of the game because if you hear the other theme it means this crazy bitch is going to zerg rush you into oblivion and no matter what you have you are going to die and there is not one single fucking thing you can do about it.
Ryan Badura how to keep pace?? I would suggest playing her or giving in to the reality, she will destroy you civ in a blitz that would cause the greatest leaders in history to tremblein fear. If you see her in early game, join with as many civs as you can and try to destroy her. That would be another way to keep pace...
@@Discontinuedalready7372 Worth noting, historically, Theo was all friendly and flirty to diplomatic envoys and other significant people, but it always ended just on that way of talking; she was one of the rare perfectly faithful empresses in history. About Catherine... well, we have no idea what has she been doing in her free time, although many rumors did exist about her having affairs with basically everyone.
@@boris8515 just rumors indeed. as someone who have read biographies and memoirs about Catherine, she's actually faithful with her relationships, except S. Poniatowski's(this one's not his fault, more about their circumstance, though she could have handled the situation better), she ends her relationships first before getting another. Though she usually have another lover along with Potemkin(on the later part of their relationship), it is after they agreed to have an open relationship. often times, it was actually her lovers who often have affairs, because she was too busy, but demanding of attention when she wants it. some of her lovers were not allowed to have visits from relatives.
I love Catherina in the game. She's always a good ally to me. But yeah, I would've been interested to see Ivan the IV as a leader here. Lenin also would've been very interesting to see. Hell, even a DLC with the Soviet Union would've been quite spectacular.
Me with Theodora and other leaders in Civ 5: Yes, let us begin this negotiation, keep it short and professional. Me with Catherine: Okay, here's some gift from my nation to yours, also are you free this evening? Maybe we could have some tea.
This theme sounds more ominous than the war theme. At the war theme you know the threat is already happening. But here you don't know, when and how it comes...
So, did the actual, historical Catherine the Great deal with every foreign nation like she was trying to get into their pants? 'Cos I was playing as Gandhi, and I wonder about her judgment...
She was known for her affairs with foreign ambassadors, cultural achievements, massive land expansion, and strengthening the privileges of the aristocracy.
When playing as Augustus, the MALE roman leader : "It's always a pleasure to meet weaker nations." (or something like that) When playing as Elizabeth, the FEMALE queen of England "If you are as kind as you are attractive, we will get along fine." gj, 2k games.
ok, augustus and rome were always rather snobbish and arrogant. it's just how rome is. and when you're the largest empire in the known world at the time, you have reason to believe that you're superior.
Fan service. Wu Zetian ruled when she was 60, yet looks 31. In vanilla, they thought they would make sales by depicting female leaders in their sexiest ages. The Gods and Kings came with Maria Theresa. They then learned that the Civ V community was mature enough to not be a bunch of horny teenagers, so then Maria I was depicted in her appropriate age. I do believe Maria I and Isabella I are the only female leaders properly depicted...given appropriate evidence. Boudicca is unknown, considering her age was probably just glamorized (it's "bad" enough imagining a woman warrior, now imagine an old woman warrior). We don't even know if Dido existed. Otherwise, Catherine, Elizabeth, Wu Zetian, maybe Theodora, Maria Theresa, they are all portrayed younger than they actually were during their high times of rule.
Melon Lord Theodora lived around 48 years. She married Justinian around the age of 25 and was described with being beatiful,witty and amusing, so I'd say she's pretty accurate. The whole scene of her on a sofa is inspired by a painting by Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant "The Empress Theodora at the Colosseum"
yes, the composer incorporate legendary musical piece, from each country, Dance of the Knight by Prokivief for Russia, Ode of Joy by Beethoven for Germany, and England is incoportating their national anthem, "I Vow to Thee My Country"

This is actually the theme for the Apprentice UK. I discovered it after listening to it a couple of times and it reminding me of something. After a little investigation I realised that this theme is actually Civilization's 'remix' of the Apprentice theme, which is itself a famous composition called Dance of the Knights or as it says here, Capulets and Montagues.
***** I agree with this. Yes, Stalin was tough, everyone knows about his repressions. However, as a result of his rule, the country got: 1) Nuclear weapons, which create a counterweight to the U.S. nuclear weapons 2) The Soviet Union after the war got a huge sphere of influence reached Germany in Europe and China in Asia. Russian Empire did'nt dream about this. 3) The most powerful industry, which allowed the USSR to live successfully in isolation from the Western world and allow the country to carry out their own space program. It's worth noting that the country at the time of the arrival to power of Stalin was ravaged by revolution and civil war. Industry actually was created from scratch. 4) The main achievement of Stalin - the victory in WWII. In this difficult time the country needed a strong leader with a firm hand. Otherwise the whole world would now spoke German. Hitler with his ambitions and cruelty led his country to ruin. Stalin with his ambitions and cruelty led his country to the power and the glory for many years. That is why Stalin in the Russia is not like Hitler. My grandmother tells me that in 1953 the whole country was crying, even the men...
***** In Germany, indeed so strong sense of guilt for the terrible war? I read a lot about it, but not really believed this. Taking this opportunity, I want to ask - how Germans feel about Russia now? :) Good night:))
***** Why do you think that dictatorship is smth bad? At least it is more... honest. Democrats will lie you about your rights and freedom, while Fascist and Communist doesn't even talk about it.
The German Kaiser during WWI was also a British monarch, at the very least he grew up there. That was the thing, the royal families kept intermarrying in an effort to forge alliances but it ended up not working.
I know I'm 8 years late, but just in case others are reading this: Not only was the Wilhelm II raised in England, he was related to Queen Victoria II. Before the collapse of the German Empire there was a plan to have Wilhelm II appoint her as his heir (over his son) specifically because her name was Victoria Louise, which would let them coronate her "Victoria III" and add a giant boost to the monarchy's power (which they were aware they'd need after the destruction the Great War was causing). Obviously, this didn't pan out as they'd hoped.
I assume he means the Boxer Rebellion, in which 7 different, modern nations, including the main superpower of the time, the British Empire, invaded China and forced it open itself up entirely
Well, not directly, at least. We actually aided the Guomindang in WWII, but they always turned their weapons at their own people, the Chinese communists, who only had the best intentions in mind.
I like to imagine the chants of the men and women of the background are more lost or trapped souls, enslaved and victim to the tyranny and unjust treatment that has always dominated their peoples existence, while they will and cannot be heard singly, they will always be in strength in numbers.
Actually, they kinda did in the Korean War. Chinese soldiers assisted the North Koreans in the war. But I don't think that there wasn't a full declaration of war from China.
@SovietLenin1 Comrade Lenin, I'd like to see that be a DLC more than the birth of my future children. Of course they'd be required to add Scotland, Tibet, and Srivijaya in there at some point as well.

Actually, they kinda did in the Korean War. Chinese soldiers assisted the North Koreans in the war. But I don't think that there wasn't a full declaration of war from China.
@SovietLenin1 Comrade Lenin, I'd like to see that be a DLC more than the birth of my future children. Of course they'd be required to add Scotland, Tibet, and Srivijaya in there at some point as well.

I miss Holland in this game, great for a naval force. Just add Wilhem of Orange or his son Maurits and I'm happy.
Wait this is a peace theme
Anybody else hear this and think Dark Souls?
True. It does sound similar to souls games
For anyone curious this theme is loosely based on Romeo & Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev
@JadehavenAcademy THANK YOU!!! you understand me
@Citylife10 i know right!! in civ 6, i hope they do leaders according to timeline, like in medieval era, they could have ivan the terrible for russia, then in the 1600's they could have peter the great, then in 1700's they could have catherine, 1800's alexander i, then nicholas ii as the final leader till the end of the game
Why no Ivan Grozny? =(
Мне по душе эта версия. Верните пожалуйста!
