Some sound-effects/video was re-used from previous Civilization games in Sid Meier's Pirates! One example includes when your character swings on a rope aboard a ship. The yell he makes is actually the yell an Archer makes in Civ 3 when he gets promoted. Another example is one of the ballroom dancing pieces that's played. It happens to also be a track used in Civilization III: Conquests.
