So.. What you're saying is.. Jeff van Dyck wasn't composing Empire Total War's music and Napoleon Total War's music? I haven't heard Empire Total War's music at all, nor have I played it, but Napoleon Total War's music is h3lla-good.

this. THIS. is the best TW tune, ever. A champion among champions. Every time I hear this I can see my cav slowly moving into position to flank, the infantry line marching forward to draw the enemy in... I never, EVER speed up that part.
I remember great battles with the Holy Roman Empire. I once made a point of playing all the campaigns on high difficulty. It was an intense experience, with epic battles defending and expanding my territory according to objectives. What I didn't like was that all the factions, when playing on hard, seemed to turn against me regardless of my actions.
Finally! Found out what the song's called. Absolutely love this song and still play the game, it's an absolute gem with the gameplay and the amazing soundtrack.
I just can't stop listening to this master piece. I keep listening to it again, and again, and again... I got one word to describe the soundtrack: BRILLIANT!
Dinosaurs never existed as I prove in my series on atheism. Glad the Middle Ages was devoid of atheist mythologies. Same goes for Antiquity and most of history. No great warriors in history were atheists.
"We have chosen the field.... NOW, LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!!" "Fight nobly men, as you march in the Kaiser's name... TOO BATTLE!!!" "IF THE ENEMY SHOW YOU MERCY IN BATTLE, DO NOT RETURN IT... KILL THEM"
If you recognized the whole song from the start to the end, it means you'd contemplated some battles for a looong time before attacking

When you're considering attacking a neutral faction
Then you realise that faction has a lot of powerfull allies.
Then your people revolt and you start a new game
then you got excommunicate
then Timurids arrived to Europe
when your excommunicated and you can no longer get punished for attacking other christians.

How do you not get pumped up when hearing this song?
no matter how they beg,let none escape!attack!
Always loved that song
Priority Mod #1 for every new TW game: Getting this music to play in the pre-battle
"I'll not waste words on the enemy" > Says Enemy Holy Roman General/Captain after already wasting them saying this
For this point on, anytime a battle is declared but not yet begun this tune will play
LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN TH-cam
Finally! Found out what the song's called. Absolutely love this song and still play the game, it's an absolute gem with the gameplay and the amazing soundtrack.
Marching towards their destiny.
good old times...
This is the best prebattle theme in total war entiry franchise, jesus, só many battles.
"COME AND FACE THE MIGHT OF THE REICH, COWAR-" Music plays
That feeling ❤
So good and epic!
when your elite units break through entire lines of peasants with the monotonous sound of the marching soldiers behind them.
Alliance??
"No"
"Diplomacy has failed us this day"
LOL this started playing on a youtube mix as I was playing medieval total war 2 muted, and I was like what the fuck is happening here
I'm still playing this game. Its so epic!
Thanks, I've been looking for this soundtrack.
Honour and Glory await England, men! ATTACK! Hearing that every time I went to battle felt so epic and had my blood pumping.
yes mein keiser!!!
