As someone who was always severely unimpressed with the grossly overhyped American theme (Why couldn't it have been Battle Hymn of the Republic? That would have sounded equally incredible and terrifying in the industrial age, right when America should be exploding as a sudden contender for domination.) I definitely agree this theme is way better.

It's a very powerful song espeically in the info age. It starts as though we are diminished, lamenting the past only to burst forth once more with a chance to be great once more as we once again reclaim our place then calmy settle into our new place content that everything is as they should be.
"Your Highness, the space teapots are now in formation over the Channel" "Good. At dawn, Catherine de Medici shall tremble as Paris drowns in dregs. God save the Queen? God save THEM from US!"
this is one of my favorite tunes in the world. I'm so happy it's the England there for civ 6. the medieval and atomic versions are my favorite. the medieval one is so lively and makes me feel like I'm in a busy tavern in merry old England. the atomic version gives me chills, and seems to perfectly represent British stoicism and dignity, even in the face of inevitable decline. It makes me think of both Britain's lost empire, and the unyielding bravery of their ordinary citizens in the face of the Nazi bombings during WWII. I'm not British, but I recognize and respect how much their civilization has contributed to the world.
As a french, i have to admit the world would have been blend without England. Nothing greater than our rivalry together. We are like Brothers after all: always fighting but we would never live without the other
Im Turkish and as someone who doesnt have any single bound with Britain, this song sounds so satisfying and calm to listen to in my room when everyone is sleeping. I think its because the music is universial, no matter where you are from you just enjoy it.
"The melody is in Dorian mode, and is very typical of the middle English period." and "The lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" appear to have something in common with an obscure Scottish ballad, The Elfin Knight (Child Ballad #2),[1] which has been traced at least as far back as 1670 and may well be earlier." Wikipedia. So, yeah... dead on the spot. ;-)
This music is IMO one of the best themes in the game IF NOT the best one straight up. And now that England is getting a massive buff in the Gathering Storm expansion... God save the Queen !
Few pieces of media can make me drop tears but this piece achieves it, and I have absolutely no relation to England whatsoever, I just like the composition that much, very emotional and the arrangement of course
I hated this song when I was a kid, but I love it now. So pretty, especially with these instruments and the escalating complexity that comes with each new era.
When you were a kid? The game came out in 2016 and this comment I'm assuming was made in 2019. That's only a 3 year difference I don't think that long enough to say when I was a kid
Playing this England suite as UK in Hearts of Iron 4 gives you the feeling that the British Empire stands at a crossroads, with the inevitable global conflict making its waves.
I never noticed until now that the Atomic Era theme has a similar vibe to Jerusalem. The crescendo is about 30 seconds before the end of the song. It's almost like it's faintly embarrassed for getting so worked up and the last few chords are it quietly apologising and shuffling off stage right. Very British, spot on.
We lost our empire, being simple. All that remains are a few islands dotted around the world, like the Falklands/ Malvinas (just to appease the Argentians, but really, I don't really care about the Falklands. Call it wtf you like.)
No fear. I just started playing recently and I often deliberately play England just to hear this particular piece of song. I really love it and felt thankful for the anime that made me aware of the traditional song's existence.
I like many others thought this was the theme to civ6. When i did start a game with other civs after ten minutes i fired up Spotify and put ln this is history.
England, France and Russian my favorite themes of the game. But in general, all the music in the game is impressive, excellent work by composers and musicians!
In the ancient era the I fought the Aztecs and Brazil a victory paid with English blood. Peace was held until found a new continent during the Renaissance I laid new settlements suddenly China and England were at war. The sound of muskets rang cannons roared China fell to England and we Marched forth on to France. The step of red coats cut the French to there knees and last was Japan faced with the British army artillery rained shells and bolt action rifles cut the Japanese troops down at last a true pax Britannica.

I just caught the version of "Health to the Company" (3:30) during the medival era. A song about sailors and the sacrifices they make (and the happiness they can also find) oddly and beautifully appropriate.
wow i thought this theme was french, it's played quite some in britanny, sung in their folkoric language often, even some french media did parodies of this song, i'm baffled to know that it's english, props to you rosbeefs.
La música de Civilitzacions siempre ha tenido algo especial para mí. Puede que sea porque es genial o porque he jugado demasiado, o tal vez sean las dos cosas 😅
Can someone please tell me what is playing from about 3:40 - 4:30 or so? I feel like I recognize it from somewhere but can't remember what it might be...
Queen Victoria: War? Hmph, we are not amused. 15 turns laters..... an armada of seadogs are coming for your costal city. Queen victory: "let the Boofing begin!"
Imo Victoria's Civ should have been Britain, not England. Many of her bonuses from the redcoat to the museum relate specifically to the British Empire. My ideal would then be to have England, Scotland, and Wales as their own separate, playable Civs in addition to Vic with pre-industrial leaders, like how the Scottish Empire is with Robert the Bruce. (Henry II Plantagenet or Empress Matilda would've been good picks for the English Empire; Eleanor of Aquitaine works. Maybe Owain Gwynedd or Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd for the Welsh Empire?) Would be funny to see them at war with Victoria lol, an alternative British Isles history.
I say this as someone who has played this civ and I can safely say I have over 1027 hours on this game. I like saying the redcoats have a "racist buff" purely for comical reasons when someone asks me about playing Britain, the +10 in foreign continents is very potent
Funny thing is that I have played England so much that I thought this was the theme of the entire game
colonize those savages
Same here with me playing America
Edit: literally took me a UA-cam video that CIV 6 has different themes for each country ur playing
I thought everyone had the same songs, just because I played every time with my homie England.

Damn that transition from ancient to classical era is so smooth, one of the best I've ever heard to be honest.
Victoria and Saladin are by far my favorite theme so far!
Brazil
England, Norway, Scythia and America for me.
Russia’s industrial and China’s atomic for me
Listen to Persia

I love how it noticeably gets more complex as the ages go by...
Medieval the most engaging to listen to for me.
The Atomic / Post-Modern version does sounds like Britain is in her sunset days :(

Compare the current UK with 1914 UK. This might not be our sunset, but we certainly fell a long way.
