    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

      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.

  • @Kerchock

    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.

    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
