If you had never played this game before and heard this soundtrack, you would assume it had come out of a blockbuster movie. This is some Gustav Holst - The Planets level of epicness.
I finally played this game properly. And it ended up one of those games I'd played first. A life long favourite. A masterpiece. Nothing makes someone more interested in history than a well orchestrated game
Now all that's missing is a new game, or the campaign would be improved, especially the alliance games, or our allies wouldn't be able to declare war on each other so easily, or there would be some sense.
In the search of becoming an emperor he distroyed all empires and very concept of it and monarchies. Truly a man to be remembered until the earth dosnt collapse
I will always hold this game in my heart. It opened my mind to the 19th century of combat. Of course, is Napoleon Total War a good representation of this period? Not even close. It has soldiers that wear french uniforms and that's about where the similarities end. But it got me learning about the period, and it was quite fun to play as well...
I want to make a very important statement. Napoleon's achievements and deeds were NOT a culmination only of his great natural talent and inteligence but ALSO from his unimaginable incredibly hard work and effort he putted in everything he did, from his relentless and restless pursuit of greatness and succes he was looking for being absolutely driven for his cause. And that was possbile only through his mindset. He mastered his mind and defied the odds în those times, 200 and so years ago when there were no motiovational speakers and courses to buy. I figured out his mindset from everything I read and heard about him and in my opinion its sounds like this: I am invincible, nothing cant stop me, nothing is impossble, the world is mine, I am the best of all, I am uncommon amongst uncommon and so on, all that said (I think) in a healthy and good manner and point of view, not a narcissist or selfish one. From what I've think, seen and even lived (thank God) such mindset mentioned earlier gives an unbelievable energy, will, courage, honesty and motivation which allows us gradually to work very hard and very smart at the same time, which in time will differ us from the people around us. În my opinion everyone can achieve such potential (didnt he say that to his soldiers too back in the days?) but that requires a god mindset followed by a never ending and constant leaving of the confort zone, something which almost none of us, including me, is doing because we dont truly know what we want. I wish you a good night. :)
Not to undermine your comment, however, motivational speaker is a profession probably as old as the oldest profession itself and most if not all of the courses today use literature from the old greek, roman, renaissance and enlightenment writers as base.
"The ideas that underpin our modern world-meritocracy, equality before the law, property rights, religious toleration, modern secular education, sound finances, and so on-were championed, consolidated, codified and geographically extended by Napoleon. To them he added a rational and efficient local administration, an end to rural banditry, the encouragement of science and the arts, the abolition of feudalism and the greatest codification of laws since the fall of the Roman Empire. " -Andrew Roberts, British historian.
You're completely right. The Napoleonic wars were simply fought because good old Nappy wanted to export his social order and conservative empires such as Austria, Prussia & Russia were completely against it. In Spain Nappy could've fought a "hearts & minds" campaign but since he delegated command to others it failed.
“In the shade of olive trees they said Italy could never be conquered.” “ In the land of pharaohs and kings, they said Egypt could never be humble.” “In the realm of forest and snow, the said Russia could never be tamed” “Now they say nothing” “ They fear me, like force of nature, a dealer of thunder and death.” “I say, I am Napoleon!” “I AM, EMPEURER!”
The good thing about having a close relationship to a reenactment group is that you know that most probably, when you die, you'll be given a farewell worthy of tales.
Must've been scary when Napoleon starts the attack with a barrage of artillery fire and when your troops are bogged down at a burning Friedland while French troops close in.
Remarquable orchestration. Les chœurs font penser à Verdi, telle la force du destin. Belle composition. Elle convient à l'aspect grandiose de cet homme d'exception qui monta si haut et finit si tragiquement, adulé et haï par les hommes de son temps. Son rêve de grandeur n'a cessé de vivre avec lui, jusque dans ses dernières heures, sur ces lèvres.
The irony: a game about a French conquering Europe but music is inspired by Russians. For example main theme and battle music, i would say specifically influenced by the following (all great must-listen music): -Prokofiev's Battle on Ice (or the whole Alexander Nevsky Cantata) and maybe Second and Third Symphonies. -Shostakovich's 11th Symphony (first movement would be deployement music and second mvt is battle music), -Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave and *most ironically 1812 Overture* lol. -I also sense a little of Rachmaninoff but nothing specific, i would say 2nd symphony's first movement, and a little of his early harmonic style in the campaign map music, MAYBE also his choral works being influence.

I think all historical TW games had excellent soundtracks, at least those I played.
The Battle of Arcole resumes everything Napoleon was : ambitious, terrifying, impetuous.

Bruh... too soon.
Actually a lot of this game's music clearly was influenced by Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture lol (see my recent comment for more influences of this OST)
Y'know that feeling when you have to go 'Oooo..' when you watch your Infantry get shredded by artillery canister shots?

In Spain Nappy could've fought a "hearts & minds" campaign but since he delegated command to others it failed.
The adoption of the metric system in Europe is also because of Napoleon and if you knew it, it's easy to understand why the UK doesn't have it.

Best total war soundtrack.
Agreed,.`
This is such a great soundtrack
9:34 must've played in Von Benningsens head when he saw that Napoleon entered the field at around 2 PM in Friedland.
Must've been scary when Napoleon starts the attack with a barrage of artillery fire and when your troops are bogged down at a burning Friedland while French troops close in.
Pure gallantry sheer courage from all the men who fought in the Napoleonic wars.

I hear so much sampling of Star Wars music (John Williams).
Allen Potter You’re so right !
Yes but John Williams also took inspiration from Tchaikosky, Wagner, Holst and Prokofiev.
And also other music of John Williams and music from the Lord of the Rings.
@@scotchwhisky6094 And yes. John Williams took inspiration from numerous other composers. Sorry for the late response; I did not notice it.

There is no other total war that could reach so close to real history.
does anyone notice in the video it says "napolion" not napoleon

HUGE step up from Empire's soundtrack

The irony: a game about a French conquering Europe but music is inspired by Russians.
For example main theme and battle music, i would say specifically influenced by the following (all great must-listen music):
-Prokofiev's Battle on Ice (or the whole Alexander Nevsky Cantata) and maybe Second and Third Symphonies.
-Shostakovich's 11th Symphony (first movement would be deployement music and second mvt is battle music),
-Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave and *most ironically 1812 Overture* lol.
-I also sense a little of Rachmaninoff but nothing specific, i would say 2nd symphony's first movement, and a little of his early harmonic style in the campaign map music, MAYBE also his choral works being influence.
