0:30 - Now comes the hour when we taste Roman curry!! >8D
( *Excited Battle Cries* )
*(they hANGRY)*
The speech at the beginning of the theme is just perfect
Not really
If only it was in latin
Yeah, we taste roman curry
Those tracks played during battles and the way they mixed them in-game was straight up insane...
The tracks themselves are good, but the way they're triggered in-game makes these short tracks so fckn impactful xD

I remember ordering a cavalry charge and this song played. Dam good times
Sometimes it even felt the music was dictating the flow of battle rather than the other way around. I remember having my battered Roman force take on two massive Macedonian armies in Rome Total Realism, which turned into a brutal slog where even the velites were fighting in melee at times. This song was playing, and it was building towards a crescendo, and I instinctively felt it was time for a decisive move. I sent a unit of Thessalian cavalry against the enemy's general, they somehow got the lucky kill in the charge, and from there the whole Macedonian force began falling apart and I managed to claim the heroic victory.
Absolute masterpiece of a track. It's terrifying how good it is. Thank you.
"Terrifying how good it is". Yes, it is.
Epic
Now. Take up the sword! String your bow! Look to your arms and armor!
Now comes the hour when we test ROMAN *CURRY* !
Very intense lavatory scenes methinks
ah yes
the good old Roman curry
The first ever military mre
Yum
GODS BE PRAISED, THE ENEMY GENERAL IS DEAD
Not enough voice cracking from the 12 year old roman boy
@@Kaarl_Mills not enough voice cracking from the 12 year old cringe furry kid* (look at his pfp 🫥)
@@vathappened internet users when they realized furries play video games too😱
"The enemy flees the battle! run down those worthless peasan-"
Oops wrong game
FEAR MAKES A HHOME IN OUR ENEMIES HEARTS
For me this track, specially the 1:17 part, means Phalanx vs Phalanx or Cohort vs Phalanx. Close formations ready to fight each other
When I heard that part, specially 1:44, I imagine the battle of cynoscephalae at the moment when the roman cohorts engage macedonian phalanxs
To me it always reminded me of fighting with or against cavalry and being on the back foot. Stressed out 😂
reminds me of TW: alexander and the battle of chaeronea
Man Jeff really did an amazing job at making these tracks
The speeches make the songs unbelievably more kick ass!
Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Am I right?
the speeches were one of the things they added on a whim that doesnt make a difference for gameplay but they hit it out the the park. i dont know who they lost in development teams from rtw 1 till now, but they need to rehire them
@@domnikoli Probably tons upon tons of people. I mean it's been what, 18 years since RTW released? Its not as easy as "track them down and hire them". Maybe they retired, maybe they move onto better things, maybe they just don't want to work on TW
A Punic here....
@@domnikoliwhat do you mean it makes no gameplay difference? It hypes up the player and puts stakes into the battle. Heck it just makes the whole ordeal more real. It impacted way more then your letting on. There is a reason people notice the LACK of good general speeches in modern games.
I get massive nostalgia of watching prince of Macedon videos back when I was a kid
for me, this music is the sound of lots of my cavalry dying. mostly just the generals.
specifically trying to capture a city.
More like a large barbarian army runs away
At 2:10, I always imagine a general in the middle of a conflict, between two hand to hand conflicts immediately before, looking around, seeing the mayhem, the losses of his army, people dying all around him, realising only then that this might be the end, a fight leading to a loss. Everything going wrong (2:34), yet not willing to go down without a fight, therefore resuming fight till the bitter end, boosting the morale of the few left. (2:45).
If this would be a Roman general, I imagine Varus would have heard this music in the Teutoburg Forest.
Bro Varus killed himself before the ambush ended 💀
You sir need to be a film director!
At 0:47 Roman Cavalry readying , 1:19 Roman Cavalry charging, 1:32 Roman Cavalry slamming into the back of unwary enemy spearmen and at 1:50 Roman heavy infantry reverse brought up.
2:45 “your general now lies dead because of his foolishness…his men will lose heart”
Theme song of the Battle of Alesia (Roman perspective).
I think Imperial Conflict is better for Alesia, this is more Cynoscephalae
When your soundtrack is so good that one of the most downloaded mods is replacing Rome 2's soundtrack with Rome 1
i own all the lastest TW games but i always find myself coming back to RTW. i cant put my finger around it, its just something thats so great about RTW
My new workout song. Looking forward getting that legionare phisique this year.
One word, MAESTRO!
Or for the Hellenic players, strategos!
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen! Today is a day for brave deeds. Today is a proud day to be Roman! Now, take up the sword, string your bow, look to your arms and armor! Now comes the hour where we test Roman Courage!"
Best soundtrack !
больше всего доводит до мурашек
I get goosebumps every time i listen this song. It's truly a masterpiece just as the game itself!
this beat go hard asf 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This goes so HARD
Ah fuck it, I'm installing RomeTW again
thank you so much for uploading these jeff, the added speeches enhance the songs so much
When 1:44 hits 👌👌
The album is overal amazing, I'm listening to it since the game released...
best song in total war!
Start of fighting on top of the walls
If someone someday makes a cover from this piece, they should replace the speach in english by the its latin version.
Cue my equites running down Gaelic warband
When you're outnumbered 3-1 but your position is in your favour...
In French, "romantique" sounds and almost looks the same than "rome antique", which means "ancient rome".
Rome 2 music was so ass that I had to subscribe to a mod that replaced all the songs in it with Rome 1 OST. This track gave me so much energy to win a lot of difficult battles.
2:10 Unlish Hell !!!
Imagine playing this during march to enemy
2:25-2:38 reminds me off troy 2004 end battle
Phalanx pikemen kicking some principis ass
Was it me, or did this song only play when you were heavily outnumbered?
AWWWW MANNNN
Is it possible to find this song without the speech anywhere?
“FOR ROME!”
"ATTACK ATTACK AND DRIVE THEM BACK IN THE SAME WAY!"
On my orders.....unleash hell.
2:46 hit different
I never find out what is the Roman Generals name :/
Ahh yes
Good old Roman Curry
1:19
the intro speech should have been in Latin
Battle of Zama
this gives me a business as usual vibe. -> gaul perhaps
Unless God forbid I die long before elderly age...I...Will....Have....You....Make....Some....of....My....Anime Music Mr. Dyck. If you see and read this I am truly a die hard fan near life long literally. Your music one of the few vg ost I listen to. It is beautiful.
I loved your work since my first play through on the game as Parthia (gotta love the African Asian and Barbarians scream "Charge!" in their distinct accents....too bad m2tw lack that little bit) and I vowed to myself all who have made an impact small and large on my life I will remember them when I start writing anime preferably on cartoon network. I was literally 15ish when I first heard your music. Loved it since. I AM TURNING 29 COME APRIL THIS YEAR! I would be honored not if but WHEN I make it that you create similar masterpieces. This is a personal top 3 most emotional battle music I ever heard. I would love for you to replicate this on my show. Lol and I will bug you regardless til you say yes to a fan 4 life. :p
ROMA VICTRIX!!!!!
Where my Bromans at?!
AMICI, QUIRITES, CIVES! HODIE DIES EST FORTIBUS FACTIS, HODIE SUPERBUS EST DIES ROMANUS! NUNC SUME GLADIUM, STRINGE ARCUM, SPECTAT ARMA ET ARMA. NUNC HORA VENIT, CUM VIRTUTEM ROMANAM TEMPTATUS!
(translated via Google translate, please help correct mistakes if you speak Latin)
My attempt would be the following:
Amici, Romani, cives! Hodie est dies ad agendum res fortes! Hodie, esse Romanus res superba est! At nunc, sumite gladium, stringite arcum, spectate ferrum armaque. Nunc hora venit ad temptandum audaciam Romanam!
Disclaimer: there are many possible translations, so it is hard to say this is *the* translation.
Kayahan abiden gelenler +1 :D.
Soundtrack for Ukrainian counteroffensive
The first 40 sec kill the music
Lies, deceptions. They enhance it
Found the Gaul
Indeed I prefer it without the initial speech.
this song played many times when my general was the last man to die. all his bodyguards giving their best to protect him.
strange how this game's music can stir memories like that.
