A true masterpiece! If I'd heard this somewhere before having bought this game I'd probably assume this music would actually be composed by Beethoven, Brahms or any great romantic composer! Damn it... I can see the world in my eyes when I hear this...
He wasn't killed by being shot in the throat, he survived. And was so impressed by the man who did it, that he made him a general. We also have no idea how he was killed - different sources suggest different things. We do, however, know that he was an incredible strategist. Stop trying to shift the goalposts, you haven't replied to a single one of my arguments, just diverted it. It's becoming quite clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. Yet apparently I'm the one fantasizing.
Cortes and Pizarro weren't really conquerors, they merely succeeded to to unintended circumstances that swung in their favor. There are many great conquerors in the world that are often unknown.
Isn't this song Requiem (Lacrimosa) by Mozart? Im confused because I know for sure if it is not Lacrimosa it is another song from probably the Baroque era, but in the OST it is credited to Richard something. Or did Richard just use little pieces of certain songs? Either way, this game's soundtrack is beastt
Gengis khan expanded his empire without encountering fights just face to minorities like Chinese but he simply walked and expanded its empire without a fight

Details on the Mongol military can be found in 'The Mongol Art of War.' JJ Saunder's History of the Mongol Conquests is a great resource too.

Actually, there were; Russia fought quite a lot wars from the 1820's on - the caucasian wars, the russian intervention in the war of greek independence, the November Uprising, and then later the Crimean war and the Russo-Ottoman war. Otherwise, you have the belgian uprising (in which the french intervened), the three wars of Italian Unification, the unification of Germany and its three wars, the uprisings on the Balkans and in Austria, the Carlist War in Spain And that is only if you concentrate on Europe - on a global scale, you have e.g. the Texan War of Independence, the American Civil War, the Mexican War, the Mexican Civil War, the Boshin War, the Opium Wars, etc
No way that Genghis Khan is not at the top of that list. The Mongol Empire is the largest contiguous land empire we've ever seen, and they did it in an impressively short amount of time.
Himmler was head of the SS, he wouldn't be in charge either. You can't really say a single Nazi general was the conqueror responsible because modern operations are joint operations with hundreds of organizers. If you really want names though, I would say Guderian or Rundstedt and maybe Rommel (although to a far lesser extent).
napoleon bonaparte this general got the best strategy and drive france in to fame and glory with his huge empire! but he made more enemies and less friends! for that he been dystroyed in waterloo and lost many battles the france empire will be always in history! and napoleon in our hurts
My ranking is based on military strategists and gengis Khan lived a day too distant to have written proof that it was a great strategist He very well could be simple chief and not head strategist
J'ai fait un classement, je l'ai réalisé selon mon idée personnelle , pour moi gengis khan ne doit pas figurer dedans, maintenant si vous voulez faire l'éloge de ce dernier il y a d'autre lieu que youtube. Merci, bonne continuation.
I don't get why Bush is in the list. You're forgetting lots of East Asian conquerors as well. For instance: Huangdi and Attila. In addition, there are figures who weren't conquerors per-se, but had great and lasting impacts in many places - explorers like Balboa, Cheng-he and others.
I'd put Alp Arslan ahead of Mehmet the Conqueror. By the time of the latter, Byzantium was a failed city-state whose borders barely extended beyond the Theodosian walls. It's actually obscene that he wasted so much manpower and resources repeating what the VENETIANS HAD DONE (with fewer resources). Arslan, on the other hand, was a genius who practically created Turkey.

That's just easy to explain. Every human society searches for similarities and develops a culture which is their new point of identification. This can be music, this can be a language, this can be a Flag or a sign, this can be an opinion or an ideology. And of course how people are: There must be a picture of an typical enemy. Mostly other cultures which they dont understand, or people in their chauvinism think that their better than other. That happens in colonialism, imperialism and facism.
lol. I can relate to your comment without doubt. But it somehow sounds so sad when you say "proud to belong to a nation that was once a great power." And today look at it haha. Its the soon to be new Mogadishu lol I'm not really laughing. When I laugh it means that I'm actually crying.
More Romantic than Classical, really. It's Beethoven-esque. Check out Beethoven's Symphony 3 "Eroica". Beethoven admired Napoleon and dedicated the symphony to him until Napoleon named himself "Emperor" in 1804, he then renamed it to "Eroica" (Heroic).
Acually the 1600s was when the Spanish Empire started its decline having fought with the Roman Catholic Powers in The Thirty Years war (1618-1648) Spain lost and had to give up its personal Union with Portugal ( Portugal becoming fully independent) 1648 was also the climax of the Eighty Years War ( 1568-1648) or the Dutch Freedom war resulting in the in Spain losing control of The United Provinces in Benelux region ( today the Netherlands).
Ordinary people ARE responsible for the actions of their government. The people hold the power. It's only when they don't use it do the governments make a mockery of their country and line their pockets with the repercussions.
I don't know, the Bantu are pretty large - I mean, they conquered a section of Africa the size of Europe. But I get what you're saying about Native Americans - people like the Aztecs are very impressive given their technologies and territory, even if it isn't on the same level as the Romans or the Mongols.
whenever I hear this, I think of how I failed to download the Great War Mod

It's been like 4 tries, and I either get ctd or no go.

The most striking opening theme for any game ever created!!
Of course, it is Napoleon.
The most epic leader in history.
napoleon a true military genius..
And statemen
Great Britain, Prussia and Austria disliked this.
Saifthebest01
And you know the reason... ;)
Russia was most far away from France so they had the least fear, but they also had General Winter on their side.

i get goosebumps every single time i hear this song
after i finish playing charlemagne in attila im going back to play napoleon to continue the glory of france...
You do know he was Frankish and not French (in the modern meaning) right? France wasn't yet formed during the early medieval period.
@@christophegarcia-salvador8683 He wasn't even saying that Charlemagne was French.
i like that how they made layers on each other, some filters and camera motions. It reminds me about how our imagination makes usual aestetics better
Goosebumps when the choir kicks in
Almost as great as Mozart's requiem
Honestly better, imo.
@@Kevin-be8nj Don't speak nonsense
@@supermariozaken Both are great in their own way. Stylistically very different, the feelings they emit are almost opposite
@@Kevin-be8nj Let's not get carried away.
This always reminds me a little of Mozart's Requiem.
One of the greatest soundtracks of all time
Best part 0:54
If I'm not mistaken it symbolizes his coming to power that fragment
A true masterpiece! If I'd heard this somewhere before having bought this game I'd probably assume this music would actually be composed by Beethoven, Brahms or any great romantic composer!
Damn it... I can see the world in my eyes when I hear this...
Epic music, Able to hear the highs and lows of the music, this piece of music is definitely produced by skilled musicians.
this song gives me chills :D
This music makes me wanna conquer the world
Go nuts, my man, that's literally the objective of the game💪🏻😂
No no.. 😂 not that world
Conquer yourself, instead.
1:00 makes me goosebump!!!!
takes you back in time to visit and command the epic battles of napoleon
Without a great soundtrack a game is nothing. And this is a good theme for sure!
purely epic... best main menu theme of the series in my personal opinion
The most epic thing since sliced bread
Can't wait for Medieval 3. CA could learn a lot from Europa Universalis IV and CK
Still waiting my man...still waiting....
2021 no news
@@winjiro at least we have 1212AD for attila...
Who else can hear an Opera singing in the back ground? I sure can.

I prefer this any day over Medieval 2 music

Does this clock says the time when Napoleon died? Didnt he die in 5:49??

This song kicks ass on a universal scale
Good video
i am appeased. carry on :D
I get goosebumps from this
This song makes me proud to belong to a nation that was once a great power. Rule Britannia!!
You had in the first half lol
vive la france! vive Napoleon!
Thanks, happy gaming
Goosebumps
*For some reason, i can imagine Bruce Wayne and the death of his parents with this music in the background*
All france history have a one MAN , he's Napoleon . This is truely.
this is too good for napoleon total war
the song used here is also the song used in the film Barry Lyndon
Vive Napoléon !
The music in ntw is great, huge improvement from empire
Cortes and Pizarro weren't really conquerors, they merely succeeded to to unintended circumstances that swung in their favor. There are many great conquerors in the world that are often unknown.
And rifles and several thousand indigenous allies.
I agree with you man

Definitely heavily inspired by Lacrimosa.
Es buenisimo!!!
And Alexender the Great.
These are different times.You can't compare them.
Effectively, no fight involved.
Well,the reason for that is:
They almost always have snow,they have badass defence and they are the biggest country on the world
@Hoekell my bad, thought you were talking about the huns. Indeed Genghis was ruthless.
And more without even knowing it. Did you know the hoover damn altered the tilt of the earth by 0.6 degrees? Scary...
The darkest Total War theme ever.
Gengis khan expanded his empire without encountering fights just face to minorities like Chinese but he simply walked and expanded its empire without a fight
We need a Total War Victoria which timeframe spans from 1863-1918. It needs Europe, USA, Far East and Africa theatres.
1863*-1918 kardo :D
One Austrian watched this video.
that's actually true...
Timur the great, Tokugawa, Hanz Gudarian, Erich von Manstein, Boudica, Charles XII of Sweden, Edward Longshanks.

I hope there will be a Victoria: Total War - maybe from Vienna Congress up to 1920
+10Tabris01 But there were barely any wars apart from shooting defenseless Africans and then of course WW1
Actually, there were; Russia fought quite a lot wars from the 1820's on - the caucasian wars, the russian intervention in the war of greek independence, the November Uprising, and then later the Crimean war and the Russo-Ottoman war.

10Tabris01 But that is barely enough for a Total War game. TW games are set in really bloody violent periods with massive wars of conquest
And a War between three Greater Powers is not massive, or bloody, for that matter?
Which war in particular are you referring to?
It reminds me to Mozart's Requiem.
Pour l'empereur !!
if you want, gengis khan
war wasnt his choice,an allaince of nations was formed against him because he wasnt of royal blood and they therefore senn him as a threat
Vive l'Empereur!
No way that Genghis Khan is not at the top of that list. The Mongol Empire is the largest contiguous land empire we've ever seen, and they did it in an impressively short amount of time.
I searched Alejandro Magno, he's Alexander.
