War fascinates me, im not saying i would enjoy seeing thousands of people killed, but what fascinates me is what it brings out in people, and the reasons they fight. You see the true personality of a person come out during war. Sometimes it is good, sometimes bad

[@KoenBoyful]

Was fascinates most of the people. It is the reason War games, war films or things to do with war are popular. Even people that dont wanna fight will fight when they are in a life treatening situation. War is in human blood

[@TheMountAndBladerX10]

I appreciate that, while no chant with this exact text exists, the melodies are authentic. The alleuija in the beginnig has the same melodic progression as the Introit "Gaudeamus" and the "amen" is done in the standard melody of how Hymns and Sequences are ended.

[@arthurrubents]

0:49 The first time I listened to this part, it felt as the nearly perfect translation of Medieval Europe's soul into a melody. Arguably worthy of tears. 💯

[@IceniTotalWar]

Best OST no doubt, although Rome 1 is a close 2nd.

[@theregalproletariat]

To me, this is a funeral. A massive funeral at the end of a victorious war. Where you, the ruler, pay tribute to all your fallen soldiers. Sombre but dignified - as a monarch must be, even as he wonders if it was worth it. And when you hear this on the main menu? Those soldiers are no longer marching to war, they're marching to the afterlife...

[@Blackout0O0]

You should write a book man that sounds like epicus doomicus metalicus 3.0 with laser eyes

[@kemalware4912]

[@arthurrubents]

That's all very compelling. 💯 Personally, every time 2:29 hits all I can picture is one scene, after a major battle, taking place on a hill at dusk in which a warrior is gazing at the sunset whilst on his knees and bleeding. Surrounding the darkness around him lie the bodies of friends and foes... and all he feels is pain, cold, and profound sadness knowing that Death is coming for him too... Either way, I love this part of the soundtrack. Upon reading your interpretation I've been moved as well. Cheers!

[@Donnerbalken28]

It's kinda frustrating looking at Rome 2 and realize how GOOD this franchise used to be.

[@UberMenschNowFilms]

Yeah I don't mind them trying new things but the campaign was significantly watered down in Rome 2. Attila was a step in the right direction and TW Warhammer also has some interesting stuff given the vast difference between races. I've mostly switched over to Paradox games. I get the real time battles are the main draw but some of us play TW for the campaign.

[@balticbvll2987]

IMO I dont think Rome 2 was THAT horrible, maybe the family system and other mechanics like general speeches are watered down, but they also added great things, like the Legion system
