The two armies met, and there was terrible carnage, and the crash of spears and their breaking and the clash of swords smiting as they moved over the frozen sea, and you could not see the ice, it was covered with blood. - Life of Alexandre Nevskii, The Battle of Lake Peipus, 1242

[@gronndar]

I still remember when I was first time playing this and reading faction descriptions while this music is playing. Feels like every faction has trouble and dark times closing in.

[@DeathKnight217]

Perfect music from Jeff. This song consists faith,blood and iron. So the Teutonic Order.

[@lupadapupa]

It's Richard Vaughan, not Jeff.

[@bva0]

On one hand, this song makes me envision a grand army, inexorably conquering everything that lays in its path. On the other hand, I also listen to this because, due to the music's deep and dark notes, it paradoxically also conveys to me an image of a huge defeated army in a slow retreat. The feeling when you give everything you got. And yet you're still found wanting. In many ways, life is like that. And sometimes it all just seems so pointless... I guess we have to just keep calm, and carry on. Anyways, nice vid. Machs gut!

[@sch3ffel]

well... it kinda sums up the teutonic knights history... a grand unstoppable army stomping everyone on the baltics until it got utterly defeated.

[@vaggelistheodorou8146]

I cried bruh

[@natanlopes5254]

I remember when was playing as Novgorod, and was trying to fight the Mongol Hordes in the East. There was loads of bloodshed and the rivers turned red, and I just could not fight toe-to-toe, with 2 armies really hurten. Then the epic moment of MTW2 I safeguard in my heart : I've reunited the two armies and retreated to mountains, with mongols at my heels, with a fragile hope of not victory, but survival . Such was this feeling, that I player this song while retreating, watching the cities burning, and mustering all strengh to final battle. I've won.

[@hugoslavia3670]

@@natanlopes5254 I've had very very similar experiences with these games, and that's why no matter which strategy game, I always play as a smaller weaker nation, like Lithuania in this; you feel the strain and pain of continuing a civilisation and a peoples, and the reward when all of that comes to prosper. I remember the opening stages of the Lithuania campaign where only tactics and sheer will is the only thing than can delay the seemingly inevitable encroachment of the Teutons, until there is a bitter stalemate, and finally the enemy suddenly breaks like steel with a stress fracture and you reign supreme.

this background is somehow guesome. This unending stream of marching Crusaders and also heathens. It's like all the dead of these wars are haunting these lands, dwelling in the castles and on the battlefields of old, marching in death as they did in life. Silent, spooky shadows of their former existance wandering the land in search for peace. Only to be seen at night through the thick fog of the dark baltic woods. Barely being more than illusions - or maybe not ?

[@sosig6445]

It was the last battle fought on the island of Britain and to this day some claim they hear ghostly warcries, clashes of swords and see spectral soldiers attacking each other each year at the anneversaries of the battle (Apr 16.) The American civil war especially the battle of gettysburg and the battle of Antietam Creek also invoced many similar stories, aldough these are less spectecular in terms of the full extent of paranormal activities. There are countless other stories but news and google seem to be dominated by these 3 ghostly battlefields.

@@dershogun6396 I don't know about war, but a significant theme in pagan European folklore is the motif of a "Wild Hunt", or a "Host", popularized recently by Witcher 3. It's a large (20-30 individuals) gathering of semi-transparent elves, fairies, ghosts and demons, riding on black horses or black goats, hunting its prey (whether it's just animals, or a daemoness, or some innocent virgin girl), usually noticed in the middle of the night by some frightened watchman.
