With my first journey into Civilization V: Gods & Kings, I ended up in the shoes of Haile Selassie of the Ethiopian Empire. The team were able to maintain these production values throughout the score, recording every track will full orchestra. Reprising their role from the original game, FILMharmonic Orchestra and Chorus Prague sound excellent under the baton of Andy Brick - capturing the dramatic weight of these compositions, without compromising on classical finesse - and the vocal performance from Jillian Aversa is simply exquisite. These compositions are considerably more thematic than the equivalent tracks composed for the opening game, with the soprano melody proving particularly memorable, but also have much to offer in the harmonic department. The choral focus captures the central role religion plays in the game, in conjunction with weighty, cinematic orchestration fitting for Kings and a warm undercurrent to listeners in. Michael Curran’s interlinked opening and menu themes for the expansion somehow manages to encompass all these feelings. In its name alone, Civilization V: Gods & Kings conveys just about everything: the personal, the powerful, and the divine. It comes with my highest recommendation… Body

The complete 23 track soundtrack for the expansion (properly numbered/tagged, in MP3, 256 kbps) is installed as a bonus with the game (in the folder Assets/DLC/Expansion/Soundtrack). They created peace and war themes to convey each of the new leaders, as well as several central themes and other compositions. Reprising their roles from the original game, sound director / composer Michael Curran and composer / orchestrator Geoff Knorr created new music to portray the leaders and scenarios introduced in the expansion. One aspect of the expansion that has been undercovered by mainstream media is the soundtrack. The expansion Civilization V: Gods & Kings considerably enhanced the experience of the original game, with subtle gameplay tweaks, new leaders, and other immersing features.
