Beautiful how you have adapted the names of the game to the real civilizations! Only on one I do not agree, I am Italian and in the Italian civilization I see much more the Milanese instead of the Venetians.
@@DomySilv It could be also the Genoan Republic since their Pavise Crossbowmen UU is “Genoan”. If it was really the Venetians, I think the UU could be the Stradiot or an galley line UU.
@@DomySilv I appreciate the effort but they did it kinda wrong, most of the civs have generic names because they represent different periods of those cultures (or even different cultures). The Celts for example do not represent "Celtic tribes" but also the Kingdom of Scotland, the Irish, etc. or the Saracens, who do not represent the Abbasid Dynasty, but rather generic "desert" cultures (Arabs, Amazigh and even the already existent Turks), kingdoms, characters, they are used to represent Saladin's (Ayyubid Dynasty) army, Nur ad-Din's (Zengid Dynasty), Yusuf al-Mu'taman (Banu Hud), etc. That's way most of them are used interchangeably in different campaigns (and also because of mechanics, graphics, etc.).

The Celtics anthem makes me want to fight for a free kingdom, besides portugueses anthem looks like that i died bravery fighting for my beloved homeland.
I remember when I was like 10 or so I used to go to The history menu and go through The civ entries just to listen The jingles. I did that as fast as possible sometimes.
Old british theme is an eargasm, so melodic and danceable with such juicy harpsichord, new version is good too but compared to the old one it sounds flat, wish there was an extended version of the old record
@@noimalmawhy you cant just agree that he is right, you can see most of the ppl in the comment section say the same. Why you gotta invent some bs argument, never understood these type of ppl.
@@raulcalimann7738 he is right though. For game about history even its music should be historically appropriate. Also just because a lot people say something is good, doesn't always mean it's good.
Pretty much all of the Old themes are better than the new ones except for the Mongols, Persian, Saracens which is better and the Celts, French, which is pretty much the same.
@@arthurhunter774 turkic is a more accurate description. Turks date back to the Asian Huns and the proto turkic period. We Turks came westwards, mostly from Samarkand, while Bulgarians came first from Central Asia and then from the Black Sea. The symbol you are talking about was the most popular group of BOZOK and ÜCOK called KAYI tribe of the Turks and of course we are proud of their banners.
I don't like the Definitive Edition version. The DE version sounds shallow and flat, not as authentic as the original. The original version feels like the sound is produced with real instruments and real voices, while the DE version feels like the sound is digitally played by computer, like MIDI, synthesizer, or whatever it's called.

The old Huns and Goths ones are spine chilling
The old Huns' theme is still used when Atheism is researched
The old mongolian and viking ones also installed deep fear in me as a kid lol
Don't forget the Mayan's old one. It resambles the Pitfall game dark atmosphere.

The loss of the old Spanish theme is a tragedy.
My thoughts exactly... old one sounds so much better. Why change that??
@@3volution636because flamenco music didn’t exist in that era
Old spanish theme sounds weird
@@adrianarteagaulloa575also is something from south spain (Andalucía) and the spanishmen in age 2 come from Castilla (North spain)

That one is DEFINITELLY better in the Old version. _What a soul touching choir...!_
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
5:11 - Just love Barbarossa's face here. It is like he is internally saying "I never heard such BS before!"

Barbarossa : 😒
Henry the lion double crossing him for the 656th time
I remember the Korean one being straight terrifying back in the day
Oh man, Huns' sound is quite terrifying too
Original Spanish one is legendary.
Nah, the old theme cringe & Inaccurate, The new theme is better, more accurate, more beautiful and more original.
It's so sad, hear the chilling vibes of some Civilizations like Vikings, Huns, Goths that make players should feel the chill, cold, and fear to the bone into just some general intro without make them feel the spirit of their own civz
The old jingles were scarier, in particular the barbarian civilitations as Goths and Huns
old huns one so scary
Spanish old theme
1:09
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's s more like a EEEEEEEEEeeeeEEEEEEEEEE
The Japanese theme is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. The koto is such an otherworldly instrument
But i love the old one men, sounds more traditional
I love the eyayaya of the Spanish theme
when i was a kid, we used to always make fun of that song lmao
Heyyyy ya heyyyy
3:43 replace the spears with guns and we have a gta loading screen
1:14 the best, Celtics ❤
the old celtic theme is the most happy i´ve ever seen
The Celtics anthem makes me want to fight for a free kingdom, besides portugueses anthem looks like that i died bravery fighting for my beloved homeland.
the Celts one just screams "HAVE AT 'EM, LADS!"
Mongols used to be masterpiece
Oooooooh Maaaaaaah Yeeeeeeeh Maaaaaaah🤯
when your intro is *ONE NOTE,* they will know you mean business.
The old ones are usually better than the new versions.
I think Viking's jingle is much improved over the old one.
Keyword being "usually".
In the case of the Vikings' jingle, I tink the newer version is better than the old one.
Imma be honest, I don’t hear much of a difference between most of the old ones and new ones, besides the obvious of course.
I disagree personally, besides maybe 1/2 (Mongols and Byzantines) I think the newer ones are better composed
I feel the old chinese theme sounded a bit, stereotypical
old mongols is just a fucking classic
Ooooma yimaaaaaa
I like the addition of the old ones. Does the forgotten onwards not have an old and a new?
Apparently not it seems. Only the Age of Kings and Conquerors civ intro themes were remastered.
old and new aztec theme combined feels like complete music

It's a mixed bag. Some themes are better in the Old version, while others (like The Vikings) I think are better in the New version.
They should had mantained the old spanish one
Ew no
It was cooler but completely wrong for Spanish musical history
@@Mattroid99So what? The gameplay itself isn't 100% historically accurate either.
@@dogg-paws Yes, but not as anachronistic as a jingle that is part of a genre that wasn't even invented until centuries later
Old british theme is an eargasm, so melodic and danceable with such juicy harpsichord, new version is good too but compared to the old one it sounds flat, wish there was an extended version of the old record
Old Version:
*Fires up Huns*
*Music starts*
"Uhhhh.... are we the baddies?”
Aztecs
Celts
Franks
Koreans
The old jingles for these civilizations are definitely better than their new ones.
1:56
Even Mayans imo
Mongols*
Don't forget the old Spanish too best Jingle in the whole game
Wow! Great Job!
Truth be told I like the new Mongolian theme
Prepare to be crucified by the purists
The new Huns 😮
The old Huns 🥶
Old better...
Wonderful compilation
Thanks for this
Poland sounds like the Undertaker's entrances theme.
The Mongols sounds like an old drunk man 😂
1:03 when Pain Akatsuki introduces his members one by one

New Mayas are better
The new Chinese, Frank, Koreans, and Teutons one sounds much better
@@quakethedoombringer Hard disagree, especially on the Koreans, the old one is so much better
bruh Old Japanese is too creepy. New one is much better
The Old Goths one is so creepy lol
Man I miss the old Mongol throat song.😢
Vikings New: Let's raid some villages!
Vikings Old: By Thor's hammer, who farted?
I prefer the old music and graphics, myself.
5:39 a alberca a la alberca me quiero bañar
Buen video!!!!
guarantee the chinese one was changed bc the original was too 'stereotypical'
Spanish old was so much better :D
old aztec was gold they did aztec flute dirty
From the new ones i only prefer the Saracen one.
I don't know why but the old mongols theme always gives me ptsd
Don’t know why they made Hun theme lighter old one literally represented them coming doom or something
Old are better than the new
I love it❤
need to be updated with new bengalis theme + romans theme
The Indians were replaced by Hindustanis in Age of Empires II Definitive Edition Dynasties of India.
China then: A fierce force, an important empire.
China now: tijtok😢😢😢😢
Edit: wait a minute this actually makes china much more powerful
Imo old versions are generally better than the new ones
Huns had potential to rule the world.
and so the Turks, English, Arab, Chinese, Mayans, Somalis and the list goes endless
Nice work
Why Mayan music is more warlike than Aztec

WHY they changed the spanish theme?!!
possibly to make it more historically accurate
Because Flamenco is not medieval at all
The bengalies' one sounds like Homeworld's Taiidan theme

Old ones are far better. Period.
I dont know why you guys miss the old spanish theme, I prefer the current one. Its more accurate to the spanish culture (not only andalusian).
the franks OHHH oui
3:28 my fav
Hi there Guys, Where can I get or download the complete spanish theme song, I would like to download, thanks in advance
Hope you all have a nice day
