Hi,

Thanks for offering to create music for Freeciv! Files in the midi format
would be nice, since they do not take up much space when distributed, but
Wav can also work. I don't know what style would be best, I remember some
classical music working fine for Civ 1 and a sort exotic dance like music
(best way I can describe it) worked fine for Civ 2 and 3.

The kinds of music we need is basically an introduction theme which is
playing while loading and setting up the game, and a theme song for each
of the five age periods - that is ancient, renaissance, industrial, modern
and postmodern.
