God, i love this theme. Powerful and majestic, but sorrowful at the same time. It represents so well the fall of Rome and its impact in history... Is like the swan song of an eagle.
Yeah, I had the same impression about the song. It was like this theme was trying to say: "Don't be sad because is over. Be happy because it happened".
Yeah, mostly the 0:20 part onwards evokes that feeling of something huge and majestic in its last years of agony, like a huge part of history coming to a tragical ending
Emperor Zoolander would have looked at this and said "What is this....a coliseum for ants??? How can we be expected to show the plebs gladiatorial games when they can't even fit inside the building?"
It better represents the WRE than the Byzantines and Italians. I mean, seriously, cataphracts, crossbowmen, knights and condottieri in the 5th century??
@@daroth7127 Yeah but they could've just gone with like Ancient Rome, and while fun, would feel out of place. The late roman period is severely underrepresented in videogames, and I'm kinda glad that (at least in music) AOE2 tries to represent that era of Roman history
Well, that part of history is a landmark in history in general and at least im western society is taught on schools for every kid, so O wouldn't call it exactly forgotten about.
honestly yeah could be done on aoe2, ceasars legion can be romans or byzantines, the great kans are mongols, the ncr are britons or Chinese, house is just an oddity@@mikabakker1
@@friezzerwilhelmmore like the Romans are being attacked and preparing for their last stand. This represents the final form of the Western Roman Empire before it fell.
Yeah, it would not make sense… Romans were decaying and relying in foreign barbarians (germanic) to defend themselves agains huns from the steppes… using chainmail and all… In age one it is in the stone age bronze age and iron age lol… impossible
Blue its ok, same as yellow. Even green or gray could work. Late roman empire doenst have too much money to begin with, standar uniform werent a thing. Also late roman empire was a christian empire, red was used for being color of mars (also because it was cheap) but by late empire red wasnt THE roman color anymore, its was still the most common tho but blue its ok
There is only one quote I think of when I hear this exalted theme of a civilization long faded, yet still has such an influence on the world. "AD ARMA!!!"
i think, the romans wonder must be something more appropiate for the time, or at least something that doesn't look like a miniature model when compared to the units around it, like the Old St. Peter's basilica or something 🤔
Real Centurion is Golden Armour with Spear and Shield, is an infantry unit. It have 160 hp,30+ attack and 8+ melee armour. It's too OP for Aoe 2 standards
especially since a Centurion would probably rarely fight on horseback...Imo It should have just been the AOE1 Centurion. Just a Shotel warrior and Teutonic knight hybrid of destruction.
Agreed, its should be named "Decurion" , Mounted units , Centurion are the unmounted ones, i learned this in age of empires online project celeste, the units are named correct
I wish MC had created a real roman fraction. Love for AoE1 but... i wish they would do it like AoE4. A full skin nation. Maybe arround 0 - 200 A.D. I like the fact they inplemented rome in AoE2DE but its not the same and wrong time period of course. And centurios just dont lead by horse (i know - mechanic reasons i guess). But its kinda ironic for a game who called himself Age of Empires while we can't play THAT empire on his full potential.

only the west fell, the eastern roman empire lived long enough

Love the fact that they represent the late WRE. Such an interesting part of history, often forgotten about
It better represents the WRE than the Byzantines and Italians. I mean, seriously, cataphracts, crossbowmen, knights and condottieri in the 5th century??
it only makes sense since byzantines are already in the game

This is the swan song of a mighty beast, wounded, but never forgotten.

I quite like how sinister this feels. Like, it doesn't feel quite majestic, it feels threatening. Which, I think makes sense for the Roman Empire
like the romans are going to attack some hostile kingdom
@@friezzerwilhelmmore like the Romans are being attacked and preparing for their last stand. This represents the final form of the Western Roman Empire before it fell.
@@JustjustinpBased on the Centurion’s shield they are in the late empire, so youre probably right.
so glad they actually went for late west roman civ instead of copying aoe1 romans to aoe2

Just like i've imagined. The Byzantine theme but made with even more ancient instruments
huh?
@@Basil-HD Basically, Byzantines are the east Roman Empire.
Also could consider teutons, as they are the Holy Roman Empire.
the units of this videos there must be in color red
I think impressive Roma’s color was red. But I followed Attila campaign to choose this color.
@@thejunkstorageplace8452 ahh okey right

@@danieliyoverde123 yep i respect your opinion, but i said that comment cuz the iconic color always was red
This theme perfectly sums that every empire indeed has a rise and a fall

This golden Centurion named Imperial Centurion
Goosebumps.
There is only one quote I think of when I hear this exalted theme of a civilization long faded, yet still has such an influence on the world.
"AD ARMA!!!"
By far the best theme music in the game. Maybe I was a soldier in Rome in one of my past lives. That's why I'm impressed.
Me at 0:12: "Hmm, this theme sounds curious but isn't bad"
Me at 0:22: "IMPERO?"
"SALVE!"
Pugnāmus!

I've heard this sound in war movies too.
AD ARMAAAAA!!!
I put this to my cat ... Now is a lion.

Is the Centurion with gold plated armour the Belisarius hero unit?
This is Imperial Centurion, just a normal unit. But exactly the same armour as Belisarius.
Real Centurion is Golden Armour with Spear and Shield, is an infantry unit.
It have 160 hp,30+ attack and 8+ melee armour.
It's too OP for Aoe 2 standards

It seems that the Huns and Goths allied to overthrow Rome, while the Muslims alone overthrew all of Europe
They should've been in red, though! Accurate or not - that is the defining Roman colour.
Blue, really? I would pick red color for them.
Let celts or goths wear blue lol
