I appreciate that, while no chant with this exact text exists, the melodies are authentic. The alleuija in the beginnig has the same melodic progression as the Introit "Gaudeamus" and the "amen" is done in the standard melody of how Hymns and Sequences are ended.

War fascinates me, im not saying i would enjoy seeing thousands of people killed, but what fascinates me is what it brings out in people, and the reasons they fight. You see the true personality of a person come out during war. Sometimes it is good, sometimes bad
Was fascinates most of the people. It is the reason War games, war films or things to do with war are popular. Even people that dont wanna fight will fight when they are in a life treatening situation. War is in human blood
@@KoenBoyful Humans are territorial and possesive, we are one of the few species that kill for fun and like to fight, but this dont apply to every human, as it is more of a cultural thing. You can see this more clearly when you analyse richer and poorer societys

@@crimson6864 The exact last words you said are characteristics of your culture, which has been heavily influenced by literature, art, movies, etc from whenever you were a young child. I don't know where you were raised in the UK, but I'd like to bet at primary school the kids were thaught "violence is never the answer" and during middle school you all had to sit and watch/read "all quiet on the western front" or other anti war movies much like we did just across the pond in the NL
To me, this is a funeral. A massive funeral at the end of a victorious war. Where you, the ruler, pay tribute to all your fallen soldiers. Sombre but dignified - as a monarch must be, even as he wonders if it was worth it. And when you hear this on the main menu? Those soldiers are no longer marching to war, they're marching to the afterlife...
That's all very compelling. 💯 Personally, every time 2:29 hits all I can picture is one scene, after a major battle, taking place on a hill at dusk in which a warrior is gazing at the sunset whilst on his knees and bleeding. Surrounding the darkness around him lie the bodies of friends and foes... and all he feels is pain, cold, and profound sadness knowing that Death is coming for him too... Either way, I love this part of the soundtrack. Upon reading your interpretation I've been moved as well. Cheers!
Whenever I listen to this song, I imagine a knight returning from battle only to discover his family has been slaughtered, he prays to the lord, wishing only to know the names of the men who killed his family. And so, he sets out for revenge.
Perfect music for an intro of a video I am about to make about my current imperial campaign in Mount & Blade II Bannerlord as Emperor Maximilian von Habsburg.
Yeah I don't mind them trying new things but the campaign was significantly watered down in Rome 2. Attila was a step in the right direction and TW Warhammer also has some interesting stuff given the vast difference between races. I've mostly switched over to Paradox games. I get the real time battles are the main draw but some of us play TW for the campaign.
IMO I dont think Rome 2 was THAT horrible, maybe the family system and other mechanics like general speeches are watered down, but they also added great things, like the Legion system
To ANYONE listening to this type of music (including this song) on youtube, add &fmt=18 to the link of the page. The quality then is not compressed, and the sound is simply amazing. Thanks for posting this.
If they make a redo of Medieval II without changing the mechanics, just like the symbols (like a sword above a unit or something instead of just flags) and improved graphics, that'd be nice.
It's hard to say when, but the game is already under development, so maybe next year if we're lucky. I think Medieval is the most interesting age for this kind of game for a lot of reasons, but mostly because of the great variety of nations. But let's see what's coming next... TW is always great!
Given what CA pulled with Rome Remastered, the 'update' to Shogun 2 that REMOVED features, the fact that they pretty much gave up on three kingdoms (the game) to make smaller games with the same name instead of supporting the base game and many other things. I think I'll never ask CA for anything as they'll most likely end up making something worse whatever they do.
@@tychus8219 it's kinda both. you can play it but it's noticeably still in progress. at least it was when i played it last year. they're right though, it's basically medieval 3
@Nobody which is fine at this point... Rome 2 has become quite polished and has great mod support. All of the newer titles have mods for them that make them very enjoyable. I haven't gotten into the WH titles, but hear good things about them. The point stands overall on CA's choices... they're really going down the drain as a whole smh.
@@tychus8219 I'm playing it rn and it feels very good. The Early Middle Ages is all that is available for start date at the moment. Tons of factions and units. New mechanics and events.

@jackafa92 I like MTW too, but I think we won't get a 3rd version soon. We will probably have Rome2 before that. I think the best choice now (after shogun 2 release) would be something before Roman domination, the real classic civs like greeks, persians, egyptians, early rome, carthague etc... Many different and interesting civilizations in those times.
@lordofthenachos I wish I knew how to split up the big music file because I already have the game but it's hard to seek towards the tracks you want to listen to.
if i would become a crusader who was abouth to dying, my only wish would be that Jeff van Dyck should become the composer of all Euopa Universalis 4 songs

Medieval 2 is my favorite game, and I would like to see a medieval 3
They'd butcher it, the total war series of old is dead :(
Yea, don't hope for a Medieval III total war! I don't want to see the abomination they would make in today's development style. The DLC, oh no...
Hopefully the DLC are just expansions like this one had.
Not if it still uses the garbage warscape engine.
I know this is old but the modders are working on a Medieval 1212 Campaign for Total War Attila which will be good
Medieval 2's soundtrack is on par with Han's zimmers work. And that organ solo is a chill going up your spine. CA doesn't make'm good like this any more.
