[@andrewliu6332]

For those of you measuring this song up to Baba Yetu, there really is no comparison. Baba Yetu celebrates all our accomplishments. Sogno di Volare celebrates all our accomplishments yet to come.Baba Yetu bathes in the glory of the past. Sogno di Volare bathes in the glory of the future. Baba Yetu says, "Look how high we've come." Sogno di Volare says, "But we can go higher."Both songs equally sing upon the praises of Civilization, one celebrates the past, the other celebrates the future. They are both masterpieces in their own right.

[@cerii5943]

Andrew Liu Oh i dident think that, thanks for excsplaining! 😀😀😀

[@Huwbacca]

Baba Yetu is the Lord's Prayer, it doesn't have anything to do with the glory of the past.

Maybe means that, but I think he´s talking about the feeling that the music express, no the literal meaning. It`s different to anyone

Gloria! Once he has soared, he will decide his look will be towards the sky there his heart will feel at home   Once he has soared, he will decide his look will be towards the sky there his heart will feel at home   And in the seas sooner or later, towards the sun big is the sky, flying over the great mount Ceceri he frees the wind, the universe, his heart, glory!   And once he has soared, he will still decide his look will be towards the sky there his heart will feel at home   The man will be taken to his only escape like birds towards the sky! He frees the wind, the universe, his heart, glory!   And once he has soared, he will decide his look will be towards the sky there his heart will feel at home   Glory! Glory!

(x2: Repeat) Prenderà il primo volo verso il sole il grande uccello, sorvolando il grande Monte Ceceri riempendo l'universo di stupore e gloria. Una volta che avrai allora deciderai. Sguardo verso il ciel saprai: Lì a casa il cuore sentirai. L'uomo verrà portato dalla sua creazione come gli uccelli, verso il cielo riempendo l'universo di stupore e gloria. Una volta che avrai spiccato il volo, deciderai Sguardo verso il ciel saprai: Lì a casa il cuore sentirai. Gloria! Gloria!

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

It's funny how Civ have this "aura" of epicness, but in the core the game is very simplistic. Like Blizzard in some ways, Firaxis really knows how to make the overall presentation of the Civ franchise. It make looks bigger than it really is, and that's a good thing (also, I totally embraced the new UI, another presentation factor that they did it right).

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

***** I agree, the "Universalis" brand is more focused on a niche. But, the point of my comment, they don't know how to make a proper presentation. Even the Total War series as well. You see... Both Universalis and TW are "epic" games in their own right. We know that because we play the genre and etc.. But for newcomers it seems that Civ is this epic thing, the grandiosity of mankind and blablabla.. But in reality the game is very simple. TW have great war mechanics, but the marketing never shows that very well. Warhammer 40k have a lesser war mechanic imo, but the CGi make the game looks like a epic war movie and etc. We can consider this as false advertisement? Well... At least in Civ 6 they are marketising more the funny aspect, the levity of the series. Now if you watch a trailer of Beyond Earth, man... The game looks more epic than other sci-fis, like Mass Effect for example, lol Firaxis are masters of presentation.

[@HarbingerOfTruth1]

It's not unnecessary clutter at all, the depth of the Paradox games are what makes them so great. Yes it'll take a longer time to learn and it can be a much more challenging game, but it's very rewarding.

[@GreatRedMenace]

The issue is that Civ is in many respects more accessible. Also it shows the love the producers have for their source material - not only the game, but human civilization and history itself.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

GreatRedMenace The history factor, at first, is very "weird" and out of place. For example, we have the black queen of France, easily the most unique historical character in the game imo. She has strong spies, powerful middle-age game, etc.. Basically a dream for fans of medieval history like myself (unlike red beard). But.... She is italian. And she is not well know, not "mainstream". And that's a issue from the accessibility factor. We have a peauceful Rome, an agressive Egypt, out of place leaders like Hojo (not a defacto shogun), Gorgo (obvious political correctness), Victoria (weak leader), Harald III (another pathetic leader, virtually unknow), etc.. Their approach was puzzling at first, but the changes are understandable later... They tried to appeal for old players, giving us alternatives on mainstream Civs. To see Napoleon diminished to a great general is something outrageous imo, but they tried to rule out the obvious choices. That's cool, but a new fan will find wierd why Egypt is declaring war out of nowhere, Rome never tries to conquer anyone, etc.. It's out of "character", breaking expectations.

Ich würde weinend aufstehen und zügellos Beifall klatschen. Was Herr Tin da gemacht hat, berührt mich zu tiefst. Unglaublich, was Musik, bzw. Klänge mit Einem machen können.

He should be a great musician in-game. Who knows? Maybe he is and I just haven't played far enough yet :D

[@Svendsor]

That would be both awesome and fitting. He got my vote.

And his greatworks would be "Baba Yetu" and "Sogno di Volare" :)

When you give your soul making a videogame we get master pieces like this. Thank you Firaxis and 2K for keeping alive this master piece of the videogame industry, for me this game is history and a representation of how to make good videogames for people who love playing games.

[@TheSwiftFalcon]

I love this, it is right up there with Baba Yetu as one of the best game theme's ever. I can't tell you which I like most, they are both incredible. So glad they got Christopher Tin back for Civ 6. Less than 4 hours left in Norway. :)

Once you have taken flight, You'll decide, Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that That is where your heart will feel at home. Once you have taken flight, You'll decide, Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that That is where your heart will feel at home. The first great bird Will take flight toward the sun, Sweeping over the great Mount Ceceri, Filling the universe with wonder and glory. Once you have taken flight, You'll decide, Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that That is where your heart will feel at home. Man will be lifted by his own creation, Just like birds, towards the sky... Filling the universe with wonder and glory. Once you have taken flight, You'll decide, Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that That is where your heart will feel at home. Glory! (x2)

Endyo Too bad it was all for a half ass game :(

[@henrychang8156]

lol what? Civ 6 has more content than Civ 5 did at launch and added tons of new features too, how on earth was it half assed? You could argue that the UI and diplomacy could be better but I've been playing it nonstop and it really is fun, I'm enjoying it more than Civ 5. It's well polished too, I haven't crashed or had any frame rate drops in my 13 hours of playing. AI are much improved and more aggressive than in 5 and actually attack you, I got my ass kicked on Prince difficulty. It's a solid sequel and definitely one of the better entries in the series, plus I really like the new art style. It's cartoony but it fits with the more upbeat theme of the game and soundtrack. It is not for everyone but it is by no means a bad game. I've had more fun with Civ 6 and XCOM 2 more than any other games this year and Firaxis has done an amazing job. To say it's half assed is an insult.
