When I was a kid my dad bought it and wanted to play it with me, we played it all day. This is my child memory and I can't help but smile as I remember all the times I played and still play

Me went playing Western Roman Empire -Catholicism first -stabilise economy -beat those pesky traitorous, Roman Orthodox -united the empire again -end the Paganism entirely -win the game

I miss being able to play Rome total war. 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Did they fix the siege towers in this game or nah?

This trailer is where the producers of Game Thrones drew their infamous “put-your-infantry-and-catapults- outside-the-walls-when-a-horde-is-approaching-your-fortified-settlement” tactic from.

Me: *When i see this intro of over milions of sexons sacking throung gaul and the huns going deeper at nothern italy and reaching to rome to sack and raze* Also Me: *playing as western roman empire* Rome will not fall!

This game with siege battles being outnumbered heavily were always so epic. Always loved playing as the Western Roman Empire kicking the shit of the Barbarian scum. Only other feeling I got with this was in Medieval Total War 2 fighting against the Mongols. Roma Invicta!

This is still better than Total War Pharaoh cutscenes

BYE.

AS A GREAT HIGHLY EDUCATED ONCE SAID,IT STOPS WHEN RAFAREE SEES OVER INHUMAN BEHAVIOR AND RESIGNES.

I still remember when BI came out, what a time. Great expansion.

Всё таки мечта варваров в интро свершилась (оригинального Рима)...

Это выглядит прекрасно даже в 2023

The 6 dislikes are from Western Romans

Старый добрый РИМ. Классика на все времена!

Romans turned away from God belonging to the Catholic Church. False teachings as is crystal Gold. Only Christianity is true faith in God. God sent out wraths of Barbarians to burn and pillage Rome. I got that right.

Barbarians are armed with Spears, Swords, Shields, and Bows. And Extreme Special tactics. Time 2 Kill of the Romans. As well as Swordsmen on Horseback. They use weapons of mass destruction to counter all Romans. And of course Siege Weaponry.

perfect choice for them to use the losing battle music from the original as the main theme, fits the timeline and atmosphere perfectly.

Vandals, Visigoths, Alemanii, Goths, Sarmatians, Ostrogoths, Huns, Saxons, Scythians, Iberians??????? Too many I noticed. Western Roman Empire: Crumbled Walls and retreating back to Italy in 450 A.D. Eastern Roman Empire???????? Still trying to fight all Barbarians. Lol. Did Barbarians won these Barbarian invasions?????? Truth in History?????? Aeitus Flavius vs Caesar, Boadacea or Boudicca the Iceni Queen, Attila the Hun, Odoacer, Alaric the Visigoth, Genseric, Arminius the Great, Theodoric the Goth. Only in real Europe. Not in America. Remember this phrase by real Julius Caesar? Veni, Vendi, Vecci. I CAME I SAW I CONQUER. Well????? Nope not any more Romans. Addio. Ciao. Lol. ;)

You guys do not realize older games like Rome Total War. These were better because of music and for gameplay. Period. Lol. Rome 2 was crap until you opened your eyes even if it had great graphics better understanding of education and a noble truth to look at. And I wonder how ancient real Historical battles really took place in Ancient Time! Rome and Rome 2 are still greatest. Lol.

I have still this game. -Gaulish WarLord Vercingetorix

Everyone else hears the evil laughter at the end?

This intro is still awesome even after almost 8 years

Man I remember the night battles being so epic with the hundreds of torches

Saxons so brutal

El mejor de los mejores para mi.

"HD"

This trailer is clearly inspired by the Battle of Helms Deep

Can’t wait to watch the remastered version of this. The nostalgia.

I remember buying my first own PC in 2004 ONLY to be able to play this game. I was 27 and still in university. Only the intro gave me chills running down my spine, it was the definition of EPIC. How time has flown by.....sweet sweet memories. Thank you for uploading!

And so began, the crumbling of the dream, and the fall of civilization.

Hola, aló, aquí un hablante de una lengua romance descendiente del latín.

You know what I love about these games? They actually happened in a historical period a long, long time ago.

After Trump lost...

I always remember the intro with Saxon general saying forward, but it must be a false memory or the Mandela effect

Cool

İs this mod available?

At 1:00 Warcraft I tones

동로마로 세계통일 개꿀잼 ㅋ

most depressing videogame intro

this intro alone defines the entire story of Barbarian Invasion, whether your on the barbarian side or the Roman side. If you are on the roman, this intro sets the scene of the apocalypse, behind the horde of horseman, a mighty city lays aflame, pillaged and plundered for all its wealth. As the night draws the army marches forward, with scenes of chaos and destruction, massacres and slaughter leading way to inevitable death and despair as nothing seems capable of stopping them. Then the garrison with probably the strongest of rome's army standing in its way. As the defenders brace themselves they turn to faith to give them strength in dire times. They use their mighty engines of war, man their walls, fire into the masses but it seems futile as similiar engines of war respond. You can see the romans are using Eagle Standard units, the finest of the legions, and back in the rise of rome those units were all but unstoppable. Yet this is not the age of rome's finest as the horde overuns, barrels into their lines, tears down their walls and pour into the city, leaving the defenders to feebly attempt a defense. Yet nothing stops the horde, they are too many, too powerful, and now they are inside your walls. For barbarians its the scene of a weakened foe, that was once thought unbeatable, thought unconquerable, with the wealth of the world and all the comforts it provided. They have rich resources and great territories, now within arm's reach. All one barbarian lord looking to carve a new domain for himself need is simply reach out and plunder what he wishes, an enemy weakened by internal strife, weakened by so many borders under assault, weakened by political suicide as leaders squander the wealth and power that their empire afforded them... It is a target, too ripe to ignore... No longer is Rome the technological envy of the world, the rest of the world has caught up while the roman's have weakened and declined, the sides are even, the mighty walls are no longer enough border, the rivers no longer a protective barrier, and the territories that rome has are no longer safe from outside...

When the reckoning came for fallen rome.

Ахуенно было

It is basicaly impossible to dislike this. Alone, to have the balls to do this intro with ingame graphics back then, and it still looks epic in 2018

Even the Roman defeat music is more noble and stirring than any triumphant music in the shite Rome II soundtrack.
