      Any good and true Brutii should be able to jam to this masterful music. The same, however, can not be said for the bastard Scipii, those filth have become more Carthaginian than Roman.

      @@Bramandin Its because Romans invented fascism. All for the empire, nothing outside the empire. Mussolini was just a popular bald politician with a huge ego that tried to repurpose it for the modern times and failed miserably at that.
      Both Roman Republic and Empire were nations ruled by rich, jingoist and xenophobic generals. They had everything you can expect from a fascist government, from citizenship classment (Patrician>Pleb>Freedmen> Slaves) to all aspect of life being centered around military. They saw themselves as the rightful rulers of the world and would conquer their neighbors for simply existing, they either assimilated or purged all nations and people they subjugated and they were SO racist that they would've made Himmler ashamed.
      Overall 11/10 empire, would like to see them rise again.

    About three thousand years ago, the largest empire of the ancient world was born in a swampy area on the banks of the Tiber River. At first, only a handful of people lived on the mosquito-infested hills, but a few centuries later the Romans seized the entire territory of modern Italy. And not only. Where once there was a hotbed of malaria, an empire grew up, owning fifty provinces.

    Still an electric pulse goes from my head to toes when i hear this. My general on the Pyrinees was Lucius Messala. He just decided to go throught the mountains and then 3 different Iberian armys collapsed into his men. They survived. They won. And in the most decisive moment of the battle, when just a few members of the general unit were alive, Lucius galloped along the front line surrounding his infantry, blowing the horn, with this masterpiece in the background ensuring the morale of his last men was infinite. Dude... that was so epic i even cry when i replay this. Thanks Jeff, and glory to ROME

    This is a fine day to be a Roman going into battle! Every day is a fine day for a battle when your heart is set on doing your duty! Today, we go into battle against the Britons: men both mad and brave in equal measure! The enemy have aid, though! Their allies - if they deserve to be called as such - stand ready. Ready, probably, to run like chickens away from the pot! This is the last battle! This is the end of the war! The enemy are trapped in their last bolt hole! They must defeat us here, or perish from the world! So, let us send them howling into the afterlife! Let us take their city! Let us crush them, so that they are only recalled because our triumph here is recalled! They cower behind their walls, and pray for help! They slightly outnumber us, that much is true. And this means... very little! They have no stomach for war, I think! We must slaughter the enemy from a distance with missiles and wear them down! The auspices have been taken and, Gods be praised, nothing could be found to deny us victory today! With such portents, we need only march upon the enemy! Today, the carrion bird feasts! But they will feast upon our enemies, not on good Roman flesh!

    Jeff could we please get an authorised version of Warrior March that doesn't have the speech at the beginning? Your music stands alone without the need for the speech, which is a little redolent of ham and cheese. You evoke the Roman empire, whereas the speech evokes a kind of BBC cliche of Romans.

      General speeches in this game are like nothings else. Roman generals sound like americans and it's fucking amazing. It fits suprisingly well. Romans were basically the United States world police nation of the ancient times. Patriotic, militaristic and all that.
      edit: removed "ur dumb" in the beginning

      @@tacticalpasta6691 Yes, but Romans didn’t invade countries because they chose someone not keen to them. Plus if The us is the World police, it’s a very corrupt one at that.
