After listening to this, I quit my job, burnt down my house, stole 5 horses from the local farmer and a bow and arrows from the museum, then set out to join Attila and his horde.
Finally i'm hearing my voice and instrument. Nice to worked with Composer Richard Beddow and great job. By the way I'm a Mongolian Throat singer( Khuumii) and Morin Khuur( Horse fiddle) player.
Where is throat singing still performed? I would love to visit Mongolia someday and hear the throat singing. Mongolian culture is very fascinating to me.
It's always weird when I listen to this and read the channel name. It's hard to think such a big history RUclipsr was once uploading soundtracks. I guess we all have to start somewhere...
13th century Mongols were Turkic Mongols modern Khalkha Mongols are oirat origin Mongols. So modern Mongolia has nothing to do with Turks or ancient Turks. In fact Turkic homeland was South Caucasus later we spread all over the world and then partly came back
No ,alll of you remember it wrong. Atilla fought with khmers in java with Alparslan in his company xd .Then they invaded borneo and with Napoleon's great idea they started producing Oreo cookies. XD
@@dinmalikogli5983 Modern day Uzbeks are the offsprings of the Karluk and Toquz Oghuz people. Those have settled there long after the Gokturks and Sassanids forced the Hephtalites (White Huns) beyond the Indus River into the Indian Subcontinent. Claiming to be of White Hunnic descendent makes no sense nowadays. No one claim that, as their traces were lost after they got seperated and assimilated between Indo-Persian people and other Turkic tribes. The Turkic tribe system is one of the most complex issues in history, please don't claim such things so easily.
Yeah I do love how this is the first total war since Medieval 2 to again have shadowed soldiers moving in the background. It has been there from the first Shogun to the second Medieval so it is nice that CA decided to bring it back. Hopefully they keep it this time.
The most interesting place i ever heard this music was while sitting amongst the mountains of an ancient glacial valley in Kyrgyzstan. I was about 4 weeks into a 5 week long expedition to explore the mountains and nature of the country. I often saw men gallop across the mountain plains on their hardy steppe horses looking like Mongol warriors. During the morning when i listened to this, i was preparing myself for the excursion into the valley. I knew it would be hard, but the chills it sent down my spine was incredible.
@@XxKINGatLIFExX What you describe is why I like the study of history. The notion of being transported back into that time and seeing what must have been at that point in time. I can well believe you watching people gallopping across the steppes, hearing this music either across your earbuds or playing in the back of your mind, and imagining them to be outriders of the Great Khan's Golden Horde or summat else. Or else what it would be like to climb onto a horse dressed in armour and riding as they did 800 years ago. Always a wonderful feeling.
Ablaikhan Bennett My Great-grandfather of the past was in Hun empire, he is Turkish because the empire language was Old Turkish, I am an Azerbaijani, so my great grandfather were an Azerbaijan Hunnish person. So that was to correct if he is from Armenia or Vietnam which he isn’t..
Well, at least you're honest about your opinion Unpopular Opinion Guy. I for one would love the opportunity to unleash the Mongol Horde on the world. Burning city after city, exterminating entire civilizations. Carving a bloody swathe of destruction from China to Scotland.
That's not necessarily how the Mongols fought though, if they were simply a nomadic horse based army they wouldn't have conquered Persia or China. We know because they were not the first Eurasian Steppe empire, the Turkic Khaganate stretched from present day Mongolia all the way into the Caucasus. They fought the Sassasnids and couldn't defeat them since their siege ability was nonexistent. The reason the Mongols did so well was because they incorporated the various military engineering and tactics of their conquered peoples. So when they besieged Baghdad, they had Chinese engineers building siege equipment. Likewise when they invaded Japan they had Korean and Chinese footsoldiers who fought in traditional spear formation tactics rather than just horse archers. They introduced many technologies and knowledge to the West, including gunpowder. It's said that the Mongols combined various technologies, blacksmith technology from Europe and Persia and gunpowder from China to create the first firearms. They certainly used alot of gunpowder explosives when invading Eastern Europe. Another thing, which may be an annoying or cool addition to Total War, was how they used a nations population against them. When they were up against a siege, they would chase the rural peasant population into the city so that the city would be overpopulated and they would run out of rations faster, making the city fall much more quickly. That could make waiting out sieges easier, but on the flipside it could come at the cost that the province is heavily devastated and depopulated.
This game... Was such a great challenge I will always remember my Western Roman Campaign on VH diff. The climax of the hunnic wars was Atillias 4 stacks pushing South of Ravenna had massed. I could no longer skirmish, delay or avoid battle. My 3 armies formed up on a wooded hilltop in a quadruple line of shield walled Legio Comitatenses and prayed. My third army of Herculani Semories formed the reserve when things got desperate. We fought savagely with hunnish artillery and arrows raining thru the treeline. Barely a few men survived the Onslaught! - The Roman line held and sent the Huns to flight. That turned the tide of the war and Rome prevailed!
Attila : " I am scourge of god" Genghis Khan:"“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
Love Attila because its the least map-painty imo. The whole game plays like one big story with cutscenes and big events constantly pushing the factions around. Climate change, migrations, the rise of the Huns, immigration, and worse. Every faction in Attila has a pressing goal and its why I love it.
I played this song in front of my Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian friends. I would never have thought that a song could cause people to panic and have a heart attack.

"They came from the east, a torrent of flame and death, a storm of arrows and hooves. We'd heard stories from the barbarians, of course, but none of us had expected them to arrive so soon, or strike so ferociously. They descended upon us, blanketing the town with arrows, slaughtering anyone in sight, taking everything they could and burning everything else. The hellish neighing of those steeds of Satan...their shouts and yells in their devilish tongue...and...and their leader, a figure so terrible one could be forgiven for thinking him a Horseman of the Apocalypse. We fought, of course, but none of us were prepared for anything like this. We tried to form ranks, but they circled all around us, their arrows finding their way between our shields. One by one my brothers in arms fell, until there were scarcely a few dozen of us left. And when they fell upon us from all sides, their blades flashing, some loosing arrows even as they charged...we shamed our forebears, and dishonoured God. We threw down our weapons and ran. But none of us got far. I had scarcely gone fifty paces before I was cut down." "And as my foe rode away, shouting in his twisted language what must be some praise to his heathen god, I fell to the ground, blood pooling by my side, my vision slowly darkening. The air was filled with smoke and blood. And against the light of our burning city, all I could see were the silhouettes of our enemies, an endless stream of these rapacious invaders, loosing arrow after arrow into the backs of the few survivors, as embers from the raging inferno swirled through the air, and I felt my life slowly slipping away..."

I played this game a TON during my depression (healed for nearly 3 years now) on super shit pc so I couldn't even play the live battles, just the map game with automatic fights. I also spent like half my net worth at the time to buy it. Helped me escape reality at least somewhat. In hindsight it's huge nostalgia but I would never want to go back to that time. weird time in my life
I love the juxtaposition of Hunnic themes, throat singing, and the orchestra usually used with the Romans. It really gives you an idea of the era this game is set. The advanced and once great Roman empire struggling against the hordes of Hunnic tribes as they wreak havoc across an already destablised region. The instruments providing the "Roman" theme even seem to get drowned out by the louder hunnic throat signing towards the end, as if to show the Huns defeating the Romans. Such an epic piece of music.
I love watching Mongols, Turks, and Hungarians in the comment section arguing about what nationality Attila was while I just enjoy to a grandma who smoked ever since she was 5 playing a violin
DNA analyzes of the Kipchaks, who are a Turkic tribe, proved to be identical to the "Huns" and that the Hun society was a Turkish-Mongolian society. In other words, the Huns are the ancestors of Turks and Mongols. Just want to text here too xD
@@creww3872 no no, los hunos no son antepasados de nadie, recuerda que colpasaron y desaparecieron en Europa, no quiere decir que todos murieron, pero si significa que en general, no tienen ningun grupo que desciendan de ellos, los hunos son proto mongoles y protos turcos, emparentados a nivel de primos, pero nada más.
Despite the mixed reviews for the game. This intro music and the graphics, which still look cool, sums up the Huns unrelenting menace. Congrats to the musicians who put this together, and Mongolian throat singing is utterly fascinating.
@@Ismailtigij wtf, the Throat singer in this music is literally Mongolian, and this is a Mongolian throat singing style. Turkic (Tuva, Altai, Kazakh, Bashkir,...) throat singing has a different style. And Mongolians are just as steppe nomads as Turkic people. There are also the Jurchens or the Iranian nomads (Scythians, Sarmatians, etc) which btw were mentioned before Turkic people in historical records. There were several steppe nomad people, as there were several agriculturual people. Does being agriculturual make everyone wanna be Sumerians? Stop being so ignorant and toxic, dude.
@@HorvardPasha If you're going to accuse me of ignorance, I think you should control yourself, my man, Hömey-type instrument types came from the Turks, even the Mongols adapted themselves to their horses. I am living the original of this history, if you give this answer to the Mongols, even the Mongols will laugh at you with one side, except the Russians.
@@Ismailtigij Your sentence structures just don't make sense. No matter how much I try to understand them. Like, what is "living the originial of 'this' histroy" supposed to mean? What Mongol people shall laugh at me? Like, what? What Russians? What do you mean with "Mongols adapted themselves to their horses"? Khoomei isn't even an instrument, neither an instrument type. It's a singing style, called "Throat Singing" in English. As different people have different ways and styles of singing, Turkic, Uralic, Tibetan, Scandinavian, Sibirian, Inuit and Mongolic people have their own ways of traditional Throat Singing. Throat singing even exists in classical European, Chinese and Japanese music culture. History is dynamic, culture as well. People interact with eachother, exchange cultures and traditions, learn from eachother and develop their own ways of doing things. Throat singing isn't unique to Turkic people, neither is it right to claim, that Turkic people were the first ones to sing that way. It is a common legacy of both Mongolian and Turkic traditions and that's a fact. Mongolic and Turkic people were and still are in constant interactions witheachother, so it's inevitable for them to exchange cultural values. There is no sense in debating this topic any longer. Live with reality, Turkic people are not the only ones in this world. I'm not offending you, but just try to make you more open-minded. Live in peace man, this is all I've got to say.
@@HorvardPasha You are the one who is ignorant, this throat music is something special for Turks Mongols and Turks are considered cousins They come from the same ancestor Huns are Turks 80% of Genghis Khan's army was Turkish.
+Even Rolferno d'apres les etudes mondialement acepter en asie , les huns sont un peuples nomades altaic aujourdh'ui prouver les chinois qui on vaincu les Hiong-nu (Xiong nu aussi appeler les Huns d'asie) les Xiongnu est une confédération de peuples nomades turcs (proto-turco-mongol) les xiongnu etaient majoriterement Turcs avec des peuples de la meme famille mongols Tungus ... et quelques indo europeen le dirigeant (chanyu) Modu chanyu (ou Mete khan) etait de clan turcs apres des siecles il y a eu la défaite contre les chinois ...

I know that this is supposed to be about Attila, but I can't seem to shake the image of the rise of Genghis Khan and his world conquest when listening to this music.
Well the Huns were a nomadic steppe people like the Mongols, and like the Mongols, the Huns exploded out from the east and ravaged Europe. IN a way the Huns were the precursors to the Mongols.
@@dismas8884 It's not known if the features are the same because there is little to no archaelogical evidence of them. It's known they existed because every major civilization (romans, sassanids, goths) have recorded it, but because they were a nomadic people and dispersed shortly after Attila's death, there's no real consensus on their true background, though it's generally agreed they were probably turkic-mongolic, like the Xiongnu people
That graphic takes me back to the great days. The sweet, smoky tang of the burning cities, the sunlight of a bright morning shining over the fresh made ruins, the soft rains of evening washing the day's work from the forgiving grasses of the battlefields, the joy of discovering the diversity of Gallo-Roman wine and cuisine, the glorious landscapes of the Loire, the Rhone and the Po, the welcome we got from the girls of the empire, and their mothers, the sadness of not quite getting to visit Rome itself, but the marvel of the wagon loads of memorabilia we took back with us to Pannonia and Scythia. Five Star review.
I love that later half of the song. It has a perfect balance between the Hunic and barbarian theme, with the background tempo of the Roman empire still at large. It really puts into perspective the time that the game is set. During the inevitable collapse of the mighty Romans, the apocalyptic hordes of the Huns and the birth and rise of the "barbarian kingdoms" which developed into medieval kingdoms and thus the modern society. It makes you wonder how the world would have turned out if the Huns didn't break the Empire, allowing the kingdoms to rise. How more or less advanced would we be with Roman civility today?
Tge empire would have collapsed without huns too Because of total corruption and internal conflicts The nations inside the empire devoured by them before would have risen
A hungarian here. Hungarians have Uralic origin. The word 'hungarian' didn't came from the word 'hun', but the word 'onogur', which was a turkic tribal alliance. Hungarians were also part of this alliance, when they lived in the Khazar Khaganate. We call ourselves 'magyar'. Medieval hungarians considered themselves as a descendants of Attila. We can't confirm it, as this theory is still debated amongst hungarians. (But probably it was just a legend.)
Renáta Béres Attila was turkic, i mean c’mon. His ancestors lived north of the aral sea, he’s described as having asian features, and he’s famous for using mounted archers.
As everbody knew, Atillahan was an original Hun Turks and hungary have no any reliation with Atilla or any Turkic tribes..step fcking away ! just remember Mohac..
I believe that theory to be correct. The only close relatives of Hungarians, linguistically, are the Finnish and Uralic people who used to live under the federative tribal system of Turkic tribes. I believe that over time, Hungarians settled down and was assimilated by Christians, just like Bulgarians. This also makes sense when you take a look at the areas where the Huns and other Turkic/Mongolic tribes have established their control over. Nobody suggests that Hungarians are Turks or vice versa, but for certain did they come from same ancestry. Just like two cousins with much different fates.
The real name is hunic khagnete is Ak Hun Devleti (White Hunic State) in Turkish culture calour names were a symbol for their place for example white symbolised North. Besides khagnete is a Turkish name which comes from "Kağan" about this mongolian things... Mongols and Turks lived together for a really really long time. They belived same relligion spooke same languages. Even Cengiz Khan had Turkic soldiers in his army. The fact Turks claming everyone as Turkish is becouse in our language Turkic and Turkish is pronancing same as just Turk.
Attila was Finnish and he killed 1000 roman using only bow and broken bottle of Vodka. He created first finnish country since Finnish-Korean hyperwar. Fun fact only during his reign Mongolia and Finland were united.
you absolutely wrong, Attila was actually a high elf that fought in the battle of dagorlad, after sauron defeated he bring his whole family to the other side of middle earth which lead him to Roman Empire and accidently causes downfall of empire
Throat singing is common traditional music culture of Altaic peoples. Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Manchus... Stop fighting with each other. Just Respect. And be proud of this culture that you have inherited from your ancestors
@kret akont the huns were not one people, step confederations are formed from many tribes and cultures ,the hun elite were discribed as proto-mongol but the lower class huns were more diverse ,even some gothic tribes fought for Attila the hun
1:51 ‘HUNGARY HUNGARY HUNGARY’ Edit: after a year I came back, and to see how there is an all out comment war from just a joke is just hilarious HAHAHA
I love the sound that starts on 1:19 It makes me think about a marching amry or the ever turning wheel of time. Along with the instrument in the background it sets a sad tone and creates a sense of despair of something that is unstoppable. Yet it is so epic at the same time and it gets me excited each time I hear it.
Absolutely chilling. I hope that they continue this style of main menu theme when appropriate for future installments. Nothing beats the steady onslaught of silhouetted warriors in the background.
I love how this merges beautiful steppe music with Roman-themed instrumental, and has Huns burning down the city of Rome as the visual background. Perfectly fits the dark, apocalyptic theme of this game.
Hey, does anyone know what happened to the Mongols and Turks who argued in the comments about the possible nationality of Attila, they usually used many historical sources in their comments to support what they defended, I have been trying to find them for a while but literally I no longer get comments where They were arguing, and I would like to re-read those sources and links to historical pages that they passed by.
Thank you Bukhu, for your amazing talent, singing in normal voice and throat singing (Khuumii) and on the Morin Khuur. Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!
Streng Vertraulich The main game's music (both on campaign map and battle) was kind of unfocused and overused Gregorian chants. It did a good job in differentiating cultures (S. European ftw) but the scope kind of took away from it. Kingdoms was awesome because it only needed a contained soundtrack for each campaign rather than a general one, so to create an atmosphere. The brooding and enduring tone of the Baltic, the deceptively cheery ring of the British Isles, the savage and spiritual chants of the Americas, the exhausting melody in the Middle East, sort of like that.
In this comments section: People arguing over ethnic divisions that the steppe hordes themselves never cared for (most of the major steppe invasions were confederations of grab bags of tribes from whichever region of central Asia they came from) during a time when these divisions weren't really conceived of in the way the modern world thinks of them (was Charlemagne/Karl der Grobs French or German? Trick question, he was neither though the Franks eventually become both) and given that the period is nearly 1600 years removed from the present if Attila had any children it's likely that the majority of Europe and Central/Western Asia have direct blood relations to him now (if you're any kind of European for example; you're directly related to Charlemagne and outside of some island and american native groups; by now everyone can trace their relation to Ramses II). The Huns themselves were a confederacy of assorted Uralic, Turkic, Iranian, and Mongolic tribes from around the steppes of central and northern asia along with a bunch of slavic and germanic allies (before the slavs and the steppe hordes pushed them out the now dead Gothic branch of the Germanic language tree prevailed mostly in what is east of what is now Germany; hence why they had a stronger cavalry tradition than the other Germanic groups who would have found horses a hindrance in the forests of Germany and Scandinavia) who likely provided much of the infantry manpower since Steppe Hordes have pretty low populations due to their nomadic way of life and would have likely used allies from more sedentary tribes to fill out the ranks; particularly in infantry. They weren't so much an ethnicity in and of themselves so much as they were a confederate tribal empire built around a core of various steppe peoples; and it's likely they would have all mixed rather heavily; both the assorted steppe peoples with the other steppe folk as well as steppe folk intermixing with more sedentary tribal groups. The forces that ended up invading the Roman and Persian empires would have probably changed quite a bit ethnically and linguistically from whatever initial seed of migrants they built around as they pushed further west and south. That being said; colour me a bit baffled as to why you'd want to claim the legacy of someone whose name is a byword for the absolute high point of the butchery in late antiquity, is basically /the/ Barbarian of antiquity, and whose empire disappeared within a few decades of his death as most empires from the steppe tended to do. I mean, until Adolf Hitler did his thing Attila the Hun was probably the person most commonly used as the byword for evil (alongside Judas Iscariot) and butchery and comparing someone to Attila to this day is still basically seen as calling them a savage tyrant who delights in carnage. Attila was the kind of guy who had an entire major metropolis' population massacred and their bodies dumped into a river with the intent of clogging the river just to scare people. The dude was a /psychopath/. There's better people to look to for national identity like Kublai Khan for the Mongols, Suleiman for the Turks, or Corvinus if you're Hungarian. It's just a tad odd to be proud of someone when history's testament on Attila has basically nothing good to say about him while even Temujin gets feathers in his cap (though to be fair, the Huns probably weren't literate so we only know the Roman and Persian accounts of the Black and White huns) from his contemporaries. And I mean, in the end he didn't even topple the western Roman Empire. His rampage through Gaul probably didn't do any favours to it and probably fatally weakened the dying Empire past all hope of recovery as a serious rival to the wealth of the Eastern Empire and Persia; but someone else did the killing blow.
Except Attila wasn't much of a threat to the Western Empire, that's a misconception. He was on borderline friendly terms, he was however a major threat to the Eastern Empire which he plunged into a dark age, from which it recovered from. The groups from his empire, the Goths, Vandals etc. would destroy the Western Roman Empire; not the Huns.
Attila posed an enormous threat to the Western Empire. The only reason he didn't manage to complete his invasion was because the Roman general, Aetius and the Gothic king Theodoric I defeated Attila in battle at the Catalaunian Plains, killing off about half of his army. He was one of the greatest threats the Romans had known since Hannibal Barca.
Pavel Volkovoi europian hun empire is a mix of central assia people ypu are true but before that avars and iskits live there and most of migrates done by turks so empire is mostly Turkic. Another fact central asia tribes are very sensitive about their ancestors they dont accept another ruler who came from another tribe etc mongolian. If they believe that a person who blessed by god' they would join horde without trouble. For example genghis was a mongalian but he ruled uyghur people who are turkic people.
The russian,chinese and mongolian archeologist saying that the direct relatives of the Huns are the Magyars(Hungarian) , even the chinese symbol are the same when reffering Magyars and Huns.

@@greatwolf5372 with tengrism they wreaked havoc through the Islamic world with Islam, they made guns, which forged the modern warfare as we know it today. The reason the Turks made guns in the first place was due to their dire situation being smooshed between Byznatium and the Mongols that constantly harassed them.
@@fantom_rr595 It's true, Magog the grandson of Noah was the king of the Scythians and conquered Sweden in 2300 BC, Attila was a descendant of those who stayed behind in the steppes of central asia, Genghis Khan too. Also Rurik was Swedish and therefore we can quickly solve the Ukraine conflict by simply annexing all former Russian lands including Alaska and Poland, Putin's real name is Valdemar Pettersson.
Metatron Not considered popular enough. Only a select few people know anything about this era, Chinese military history, or Chinese history in General. While Japan and Samurai are pretty mainstream and not some niche thing, hence 2 Shogun games.You can thank Akira Kurosawa for that.
although there r no interests for a chinese based campaign, it could have been interesting to see asia map - the whole asia map mind you - for rome 2. because as many of you know, china was one of the 3 superpowers in the world during roman era, others being rome (duh?) and parthia. as a total war series fan, i found empire TW being the next best thing after rome because of its size, ability to apply diplomacy into a worldwide scale and - well - its the dawn of superpowers, i mean we r getting origin stories for soviet russia, usa, british empire, india and pakistan, decline of spanish and ottoman empires. it was a good and strong setting. whatever, my point is: the bigger the map, the more challenging it gets. i love natural difficulty in video games instead of forced difficulty such as raising the difficulty level.
Ulfbert japan militar society was moer relatable for western audiences, and there are no paralels in china of a western knight, the most representative thing of medieval europe, like in japan(the samurai.)

The Turkic tribe system is one of the most complex issues in history, please don't claim such things so easily.

The most interesting place i ever heard this music was while sitting amongst the mountains of an ancient glacial valley in Kyrgyzstan.
I was about 4 weeks into a 5 week long expedition to explore the mountains and nature of the country.
I often saw men gallop across the mountain plains on their hardy steppe horses looking like Mongol warriors.
During the morning when i listened to this, i was preparing myself for the excursion into the valley. I knew it would be hard, but the chills it sent down my spine was incredible.

@@XxKINGatLIFExX What you describe is why I like the study of history. The notion of being transported back into that time and seeing what must have been at that point in time.

Or else what it would be like to climb onto a horse dressed in armour and riding as they did 800 years ago. Always a wonderful feeling.

Damn, we need a Total War: Gengis
It would be extremelly boring to command hordes of Horse Archers, the most annoying unit in T.W around endless empty plains and more plains.
You mean Medieval II?
Well, at least you're honest about your opinion Unpopular Opinion Guy. I for one would love the opportunity to unleash the Mongol Horde on the world. Burning city after city, exterminating entire civilizations. Carving a bloody swathe of destruction from China to Scotland.
That's not necessarily how the Mongols fought though, if they were simply a nomadic horse based army they wouldn't have conquered Persia or China. We know because they were not the first Eurasian Steppe empire, the Turkic Khaganate stretched from present day Mongolia all the way into the Caucasus. They fought the Sassasnids and couldn't defeat them since their siege ability was nonexistent. The reason the Mongols did so well was because they incorporated the various military engineering and tactics of their conquered peoples. So when they besieged Baghdad, they had Chinese engineers building siege equipment. Likewise when they invaded Japan they had Korean and Chinese footsoldiers who fought in traditional spear formation tactics rather than just horse archers. They introduced many technologies and knowledge to the West, including gunpowder. It's said that the Mongols combined various technologies, blacksmith technology from Europe and Persia and gunpowder from China to create the first firearms. They certainly used alot of gunpowder explosives when invading Eastern Europe.
Another thing, which may be an annoying or cool addition to Total War, was how they used a nations population against them. When they were up against a siege, they would chase the rural peasant population into the city so that the city would be overpopulated and they would run out of rations faster, making the city fall much more quickly. That could make waiting out sieges easier, but on the flipside it could come at the cost that the province is heavily devastated and depopulated.

The background to the main menu in this game is plain awesome.
This game... Was such a great challenge I will always remember my Western Roman Campaign on VH diff. The climax of the hunnic wars was Atillias 4 stacks pushing South of Ravenna had massed. I could no longer skirmish, delay or avoid battle. My 3 armies formed up on a wooded hilltop in a quadruple line of shield walled Legio Comitatenses and prayed. My third army of Herculani Semories formed the reserve when things got desperate. We fought savagely with hunnish artillery and arrows raining thru the treeline. Barely a few men survived the Onslaught! - The Roman line held and sent the Huns to flight. That turned the tide of the war and Rome prevailed!
Roma Invicta.
Attila : " I am scourge of god"
Genghis Khan:"“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

"They came from the east, a torrent of flame and death, a storm of arrows and hooves. We'd heard stories from the barbarians, of course, but none of us had expected them to arrive so soon, or strike so ferociously. They descended upon us, blanketing the town with arrows, slaughtering anyone in sight, taking everything they could and burning everything else. The hellish neighing of those steeds of Satan...their shouts and yells in their devilish tongue...and...and their leader, a figure so terrible one could be forgiven for thinking him a Horseman of the Apocalypse. We fought, of course, but none of us were prepared for anything like this. We tried to form ranks, but they circled all around us, their arrows finding their way between our shields. One by one my brothers in arms fell, until there were scarcely a few dozen of us left. And when they fell upon us from all sides, their blades flashing, some loosing arrows even as they charged...we shamed our forebears, and dishonoured God. We threw down our weapons and ran. But none of us got far. I had scarcely gone fifty paces before I was cut down."
"And as my foe rode away, shouting in his twisted language what must be some praise to his heathen god, I fell to the ground, blood pooling by my side, my vision slowly darkening. The air was filled with smoke and blood. And against the light of our burning city, all I could see were the silhouettes of our enemies, an endless stream of these rapacious invaders, loosing arrow after arrow into the backs of the few survivors, as embers from the raging inferno swirled through the air, and I felt my life slowly slipping away..."

It really gives you an idea of the era this game is set. The advanced and once great Roman empire struggling against the hordes of Hunnic tribes as they wreak havoc across an already destablised region. The instruments providing the "Roman" theme even seem to get drowned out by the louder hunnic throat signing towards the end, as if to show the Huns defeating the Romans. Such an epic piece of music.

Despite the mixed reviews for the game. This intro music and the graphics, which still look cool, sums up the Huns unrelenting menace. Congrats to the musicians who put this together, and Mongolian throat singing is utterly fascinating.

@@Ismailtigij wtf, the Throat singer in this music is literally Mongolian, and this is a Mongolian throat singing style. Turkic (Tuva, Altai, Kazakh, Bashkir,...) throat singing has a different style. And Mongolians are just as steppe nomads as Turkic people. There are also the Jurchens or the Iranian nomads (Scythians, Sarmatians, etc) which btw were mentioned before Turkic people in historical records. There were several steppe nomad people, as there were several agriculturual people. Does being agriculturual make everyone wanna be Sumerians? Stop being so ignorant and toxic, dude.

@@Ismailtigij Your sentence structures just don't make sense. No matter how much I try to understand them. Like, what is "living the originial of 'this' histroy" supposed to mean? What Mongol people shall laugh at me? Like, what? What Russians? What do you mean with "Mongols adapted themselves to their horses"? Khoomei isn't even an instrument, neither an instrument type. It's a singing style, called "Throat Singing" in English. As different people have different ways and styles of singing, Turkic, Uralic, Tibetan, Scandinavian, Sibirian, Inuit and Mongolic people have their own ways of traditional Throat Singing. Throat singing even exists in classical European, Chinese and Japanese music culture. History is dynamic, culture as well. People interact with eachother, exchange cultures and traditions, learn from eachother and develop their own ways of doing things. Throat singing isn't unique to Turkic people, neither is it right to claim, that Turkic people were the first ones to sing that way. It is a common legacy of both Mongolian and Turkic traditions and that's a fact. Mongolic and Turkic people were and still are in constant interactions witheachother, so it's inevitable for them to exchange cultural values. There is no sense in debating this topic any longer. Live with reality, Turkic people are not the only ones in this world. I'm not offending you, but just try to make you more open-minded. Live in peace man, this is all I've got to say.

It's known they existed because every major civilization (romans, sassanids, goths) have recorded it, but because they were a nomadic people and dispersed shortly after Attila's death, there's no real consensus on their true background, though it's generally agreed they were probably turkic-mongolic, like the Xiongnu people
That graphic takes me back to the great days. The sweet, smoky tang of the burning cities, the sunlight of a bright morning shining over the fresh made ruins, the soft rains of evening washing the day's work from the forgiving grasses of the battlefields, the joy of discovering the diversity of Gallo-Roman wine and cuisine, the glorious landscapes of the Loire, the Rhone and the Po, the welcome we got from the girls of the empire, and their mothers, the sadness of not quite getting to visit Rome itself, but the marvel of the wagon loads of memorabilia we took back with us to Pannonia and Scythia.

I love that later half of the song. It has a perfect balance between the Hunic and barbarian theme, with the background tempo of the Roman empire still at large. It really puts into perspective the time that the game is set.
During the inevitable collapse of the mighty Romans, the apocalyptic hordes of the Huns and the birth and rise of the "barbarian kingdoms" which developed into medieval kingdoms and thus the modern society. It makes you wonder how the world would have turned out if the Huns didn't break the Empire, allowing the kingdoms to rise. How more or less advanced would we be with Roman civility today?

A hungarian here. Hungarians have Uralic origin. The word 'hungarian' didn't came from the word 'hun', but the word 'onogur', which was a turkic tribal alliance. Hungarians were also part of this alliance, when they lived in the Khazar Khaganate. We call ourselves 'magyar'. Medieval hungarians considered themselves as a descendants of Attila. We can't confirm it, as this theory is still debated amongst hungarians. (But probably it was just a legend.)
Renáta Béres Attila was turkic, i mean c’mon. His ancestors lived north of the aral sea, he’s described as having asian features, and he’s famous for using mounted archers.
As everbody knew, Atillahan was an original Hun Turks and hungary have no any reliation with Atilla or any Turkic tribes..step fcking away ! just remember Mohac..
Btw now it’s confirmed that he was turkic, or at least proto turkic
I believe that theory to be correct. The only close relatives of Hungarians, linguistically, are the Finnish and Uralic people who used to live under the federative tribal system of Turkic tribes. I believe that over time, Hungarians settled down and was assimilated by Christians, just like Bulgarians.
This also makes sense when you take a look at the areas where the Huns and other Turkic/Mongolic tribes have established their control over.
Nobody suggests that Hungarians are Turks or vice versa, but for certain did they come from same ancestry. Just like two cousins with much different fates.

Streng Vertraulich The main game's music (both on campaign map and battle) was kind of unfocused and overused Gregorian chants. It did a good job in differentiating cultures (S. European ftw) but the scope kind of took away from it.
Kingdoms was awesome because it only needed a contained soundtrack for each campaign rather than a general one, so to create an atmosphere. The brooding and enduring tone of the Baltic, the deceptively cheery ring of the British Isles, the savage and spiritual chants of the Americas, the exhausting melody in the Middle East, sort of like that.

Back again to pay the yearly respect let's go!
In this comments section: People arguing over ethnic divisions that the steppe hordes themselves never cared for (most of the major steppe invasions were confederations of grab bags of tribes from whichever region of central Asia they came from) during a time when these divisions weren't really conceived of in the way the modern world thinks of them (was Charlemagne/Karl der Grobs French or German? Trick question, he was neither though the Franks eventually become both) and given that the period is nearly 1600 years removed from the present if Attila had any children it's likely that the majority of Europe and Central/Western Asia have direct blood relations to him now (if you're any kind of European for example; you're directly related to Charlemagne and outside of some island and american native groups; by now everyone can trace their relation to Ramses II).
The Huns themselves were a confederacy of assorted Uralic, Turkic, Iranian, and Mongolic tribes from around the steppes of central and northern asia along with a bunch of slavic and germanic allies (before the slavs and the steppe hordes pushed them out the now dead Gothic branch of the Germanic language tree prevailed mostly in what is east of what is now Germany; hence why they had a stronger cavalry tradition than the other Germanic groups who would have found horses a hindrance in the forests of Germany and Scandinavia) who likely provided much of the infantry manpower since Steppe Hordes have pretty low populations due to their nomadic way of life and would have likely used allies from more sedentary tribes to fill out the ranks; particularly in infantry.
They weren't so much an ethnicity in and of themselves so much as they were a confederate tribal empire built around a core of various steppe peoples; and it's likely they would have all mixed rather heavily; both the assorted steppe peoples with the other steppe folk as well as steppe folk intermixing with more sedentary tribal groups. The forces that ended up invading the Roman and Persian empires would have probably changed quite a bit ethnically and linguistically from whatever initial seed of migrants they built around as they pushed further west and south.
That being said; colour me a bit baffled as to why you'd want to claim the legacy of someone whose name is a byword for the absolute high point of the butchery in late antiquity, is basically /the/ Barbarian of antiquity, and whose empire disappeared within a few decades of his death as most empires from the steppe tended to do. I mean, until Adolf Hitler did his thing Attila the Hun was probably the person most commonly used as the byword for evil (alongside Judas Iscariot) and butchery and comparing someone to Attila to this day is still basically seen as calling them a savage tyrant who delights in carnage. Attila was the kind of guy who had an entire major metropolis' population massacred and their bodies dumped into a river with the intent of clogging the river just to scare people. The dude was a /psychopath/.
There's better people to look to for national identity like Kublai Khan for the Mongols, Suleiman for the Turks, or Corvinus if you're Hungarian. It's just a tad odd to be proud of someone when history's testament on Attila has basically nothing good to say about him while even Temujin gets feathers in his cap (though to be fair, the Huns probably weren't literate so we only know the Roman and Persian accounts of the Black and White huns) from his contemporaries. And I mean, in the end he didn't even topple the western Roman Empire. His rampage through Gaul probably didn't do any favours to it and probably fatally weakened the dying Empire past all hope of recovery as a serious rival to the wealth of the Eastern Empire and Persia; but someone else did the killing blow.
too long
Except Attila wasn't much of a threat to the Western Empire, that's a misconception. He was on borderline friendly terms, he was however a major threat to the Eastern Empire which he plunged into a dark age, from which it recovered from. The groups from his empire, the Goths, Vandals etc. would destroy the Western Roman Empire; not the Huns.
Literacy is good for the brain. :)
Attila posed an enormous threat to the Western Empire. The only reason he didn't manage to complete his invasion was because the Roman general, Aetius and the Gothic king Theodoric I defeated Attila in battle at the Catalaunian Plains, killing off about half of his army. He was one of the greatest threats the Romans had known since Hannibal Barca.
Pavel Volkovoi europian hun empire is a mix of central assia people ypu are true but before that avars and iskits live there and most of migrates done by turks so empire is mostly Turkic. Another fact central asia tribes are very sensitive about their ancestors they dont accept another ruler who came from another tribe etc mongolian. If they believe that a person who blessed by god' they would join horde without trouble. For example genghis was a mongalian but he ruled uyghur people who are turkic people.
The russian,chinese and mongolian archeologist saying that the direct relatives of the Huns are the Magyars(Hungarian) , even the chinese symbol are the same when reffering Magyars and Huns.
The Last true Simulator of the Total War series. Every game made since has taken to the Total War: Rome 2 flavor of "strategy game first, simulator that grits player's teeth and Quick-Load button second".
Divide et Impera rome II is a pretty good simulator attempt as well.
I like it a lot.
Still gives me the chill.
The comment section:
99% Turks saying attila is turk

Attila is the founder of IKEA
All prays for the Tengri, lord of the eternal sky.
+kinky dominicanman no we beliave our dead's spirits living in our hearts,and they going heaven forever,bacause they fighting for their homeland and fathers.its holy duty for Us (TURKS).
I hope we will HUNt together again :D
Tengrii actually quite similiar to abrahamic God..so yeah All praise to the Lord of Several Heaven
Actually Tengri is effected by turkic culture(shamanic) but allah is effected by middle east culture(semitic). But many similliarity about each other. Because both of them called God. 😄
Murat Özgün
What i ussually heard is that tengrii is potrayed as a huge flying eagle. is this true?
of course it could just about the similiarity like eagle as a ruler of the sky.
I sick of all these pseudo christian called people they dont undestand a pagan and shouting deus vult nonsense
Tengri biz Menen
All prayers to the eternal God of the Sky, Göktengri
all prayers to Allah the only true lord of earth and the heavens
>Göktengri
Fuck you latinized dialect
So ugly
@@bigsmoke1787 A real Turk can only be Tengri. Turkish Muslims are traitors to their ancestors.
@@greatwolf5372 with tengrism they wreaked havoc through the Islamic world
with Islam, they made guns, which forged the modern warfare as we know it today. The reason the Turks made guns in the first place was due to their dire situation being smooshed between Byznatium and the Mongols that constantly harassed them.
Attila was a Swede and a direct descendant of Magog, the first king of Sweden.
i heard a lot of theories but Swedish Atilla?! its something new
@@fantom_rr595 It's true, Magog the grandson of Noah was the king of the Scythians and conquered Sweden in 2300 BC, Attila was a descendant of those who stayed behind in the steppes of central asia, Genghis Khan too.
Also Rurik was Swedish and therefore we can quickly solve the Ukraine conflict by simply annexing all former Russian lands including Alaska and Poland, Putin's real name is Valdemar Pettersson.
One of the few total war games that I didn't enjoy playing, but I loved this menu music
I'd like to see one based around China. You could put in India, China, Korea. I think it would be cool.
That would be really nice. Why they never put one of the most ancient cultures in the game, I have never understood.
Metatron Not considered popular enough. Only a select few people know anything about this era, Chinese military history, or Chinese history in General. While Japan and Samurai are pretty mainstream and not some niche thing, hence 2 Shogun games.You can thank Akira Kurosawa for that.
although there r no interests for a chinese based campaign, it could have been interesting to see asia map - the whole asia map mind you - for rome 2. because as many of you know, china was one of the 3 superpowers in the world during roman era, others being rome (duh?) and parthia. as a total war series fan, i found empire TW being the next best thing after rome because of its size, ability to apply diplomacy into a worldwide scale and - well - its the dawn of superpowers, i mean we r getting origin stories for soviet russia, usa, british empire, india and pakistan, decline of spanish and ottoman empires. it was a good and strong setting. whatever, my point is: the bigger the map, the more challenging it gets. i love natural difficulty in video games instead of forced difficulty such as raising the difficulty level.
Do you get soy sauce if you pre-order?
Ulfbert japan militar society was moer relatable for western audiences, and there are no paralels in china of a western knight, the most representative thing of medieval europe, like in japan(the samurai.)
