Whoever made this was a genius. The men marching, the music giving the sense of impending doom. You can almost hear the breath of the horses, the clanking of metal on metal as men march in the twilight to do terrible deeds to their fellow man while the lightning flashes in the sky. Such a powerful and awesome thing.
@@the_corvid97 Ah thank you for informing me that tens of thousands of people still march into foreign lands with swords and spears and kill slaughter each other in melee combat in the 21st century. Must've missed that bit on the news
I remember, when i first startet this game and that screen appeared and the music starts, i just sat there for a couple of minutes and soaked up all the grim and dark atmosphere i felt
With the version i had you had this start up window where you could either select play or just wait and listen to this amazing song, I usually did the latter first
Very fitting with the visuals. It’s like all the fallen soldiers of a battle now marching through purgatory to meet God, all while begging for mercy along the way
@@primalreversion7034both churches sing the Kyrie Eleison. In the Catholic Church it's kind of a relic of the time when both Churches were still united and under the same Chalcedonian creed. Back when Rome and Constantinople both were under the same Empire.
I am still chilled by this after years. every time i listen to this. i imagine the people walking there, their lives , their families, their deaths, what they done...
I was wondering, is the "kyrie Eleison" melody at the start an original composition for Total War or is it a part of some authentic historical song? Because I have heard it in other contexts (like a TV show about the life or Isabel of Castille).
But I asking about the specific melody. I've heard dozens of Kyrie Eleison but I can't find the specific melody (the voices) at the start of this menu song, and having heard it in a completely unrelated Spanish TV show makes me wonder if it's an original TW composition or if they borrowed that initial melody from somewhere else.
Jesus is still alive and is Lord and God and Savior and the only way to go to heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and God and Savior and believe that he died for you so that your sins will be forgiven

Κύριε Ελέησον = Lord have mercy upon us in Greek

The chant is still well known in Catholic Masses.

Best rendition of the chant

Are u talking about the total war saga, not this game. Because RTW is better

@@GL-ej6li Yea, pretty much. Rome is kinda shallow compared to medieval. (yet still better than rome 2 in some aspects)
Nah man try crusader kings 2
Sometimes i start up the game, just to listen to this intro. Goosebumps every. single. time.
I've played this after rome ii, attila, shogun ii etc and god, even if medieval ii was released 12 years ago, ITS THE BETTER TOTAL WAR
Fleapto Fleapt or is medieval era the best setting? I think so
So many awesome weapons armour castles makes for a great game
Omg yes! I so hope they make medieval 3.
medieval best setting. this game got boring for me years ago. Attila MK1212AD is where it's at

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrie
There are many, many, many songs that just say "Kyrie Eleison". There's even one in the Death Note OST.
/watch?v=UaIoK3Bf6lk
But I asking about the specific melody. I've heard dozens of Kyrie Eleison but I can't find the specific melody (the voices) at the start of this menu song, and having heard it in a completely unrelated Spanish TV show makes me wonder if it's an original TW composition or if they borrowed that initial melody from somewhere else.
Maybe, I can't know for sure, but the song in the link is very similar in melody also.
It seems this was made for TW. The Kyrie Eleison I hear being used in mass (I go to a Catholic school) doesn't sound like this at all.
I still get chills!
The wandering souls of men who died on medieval battlefields...
Jeff van Dyck is a god. The scores of this and Rome Total War are masterpieces.
Shogun games as well, he did great for these games
also Spartan Total Warrior

This. This is THE music for Medieval.
