    I still remember playing as Scotland with a small army of pike-men, men-at-arms and archers, occupying a small crest with three English armies coming at me from every direction, and yet managed to defeat them all in detail, but my losses ended up being horrific. My Scottish prince survived bloody struggle, and ended up being the king of the British Isles. Good old times 12 odd years ago. I can still remember my heart beating as the last vital charge of my men-at-arms broke the last wave of enemies. Long live the King of Scotland!

    Indeed. It reminds me when you have no time, and need to movilize that damaged and tired heavy cavalry one more time, the same cavalry who had charged dozens of times last battle and this battle. You need to desesperate charge those pikemen from the flanks and if they are routed, you then have a chance and start following the routed units or vacilant enemy archers with those remaining 4-5 veteran cav while your general is strugling and the castle is being taken. Ok sorry I got a bit carried away. But I loved those feelings.

    the choral composition really adds a spin of piety into this, which can be interpreted as an allusion to the fact that kings where thought to be chosen by god at this time, so the war between kings is also a war of divine mandate, and i think this song really gets this idea across.

    My game as the Teutonics was amusing. I started out expecting to steamroll the Lithuanians with my superior knights. What I didn't expect was that their lighter and faster cavalry and larger territory essentially allowed them to wage guerilla warfare against my knights. So what should have been a 5 year conquest turned into a 50 year brutal stalemate. Those knights that survived became grizzled veterans, and I quickly learned the value of proper recon and missile troops. Every now and then, some pansy ass English or French lord would come to Crusade, thinking it would be some sort of great noble adventure. Thinking, with this 2 command and 0 chivalry, he could show my 10 command and 7 dread Teutonic commander how it was done. Of course, they always left fairly quickly, once their troops had taken enough of a beating and he had had enough of trying to survive on the brutal Baltic frontier. If there's one thing my Teutonic game did really well, it was instill in me a strong respect for the Lithuanians. Their tenacity, resolve, and ruthlessness is something to be respected. They are a worthy foe.

    al Mamlūk And this is pretty much what happened historically. When the Teutonic Order conquered Old Prussia, Lithuania was wary of the great threat they posed and the tribes unitedto form the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. And the fact that they had (relatively) advanced metal technology meant that they could survive whereas the ancient-style Old Prussians were completely dominated. Lithuania started out in a cold war with the Teutonic as they would be supporting two armed revolts against the crusaders. The second one was only one to pose a threat and had serious reprucussions, such as the Old Prussians losing basic human rights. The Teutonics had learned that the Lithuanians had supplied and rallied up the second revolt, so war ignited and lasted for centuries. Two forces came to both respect and hate eachother extremely. Some areas in-between opposite fortifications would have been completely cleared of vegetation and bodies would remain in these no-man lands. Their hatred of each other was so great that even after Lithuania converted, these "holy warriors" ignored papal orders to disarm, were excommunicated, and they ended up fighting both Lithuania and Poland to solidify their local dominance and preserve the territory that they had spilled so much blood to keep.

    Yeah, holy shit. I've read into the actual Baltic Crusades and as brutal and horrific as the Levantine Crusades were, the Baltic Crusades were worse. In the Levant, the Muslims and Christians, despite routinely fighting against one another, also often times fought alongside one another, and there was clearly a healthy respect and even amusing camaraderie at times between the Muslim Sultans, Crusader Kings, and Byzantine Emperors. At least until the Mongol Invasions, the different sides would fight each other to the bitter end one year, and then make peace and have friendly summits with each other the next. But the Baltic was nothing like that. It's clear that from the beginning, the Teutonics showed up to enact a campaign of extermination. They annihilated entire cities and towns, slaughtered whole populations. And the Lithuanians weren't having any of it. They responded with their own ruthless scorched earth campaigns, and brutal insurgencies against the arriving Teutons. Its clear that they definitely respected one another, but it wasn't the type of respect that led to episodes of friendship like the Levant did, but the type of respect that demanded an even more ruthless and concerted effort to win the war from both sides. And what's shocking is that this continued after Lithuania converted to Catholicism. Rather than putting their differences aside, the two sides continued to grind it out until the Lithuanians emerged victorious with their alliance with Poland. Honestly, the Baltic Crusades basically disprove the assertion that religion causes wars. These motherfuckers were still slaughtering each other well after their religious differences had been resolved. The cause of wars is mankind inherent antisocial tendencies.

    +modernknightone the major difference of course as well is that in the distant past the kings and also dukes and barons etc. were in that position because of the forces they could raise that belonged to them personally, not the state, so they also had to act as military commanders, which would end up often putting them near the danger. When armies became professional, the political and military classes became more separate, so nowadays the politicians are civilians, unless you live in some state ruled by the military, so of course these civilians aren't going to ever be involved in combat

    Aaron Brougham Agreed, however there are notable exceptions to this as western civilization has advanced. A very good example of this were the Prussian elites who were from extremely old noble families and who still participated at the "tip of the spear" in combat during both WWI and WW2. Many British Royals also still participated in dangerous situations in India and Africa on campaign in the 19th century and it can be argued that some even in the 20th. As a retired Colonel with an MA in history I am well aware of the modern military and civilian roles in the current state of things which is one of the reasons I made the comment I did with a certain nostalgic admiration of the elites of former times in comparison to their vampiric useless progeny of modern times.

    What an epic theme! Beyond the video game origin of this, this is a song of struggle, the everyday fight for survival. All you penniless, fighting people, fighting against poverty, misery and sickness, battling through selfish materialistic humans who are not humans anymore, let this War of Kings sound help you get courage and strength, you are honorable warriors, get your heads high! may God help us all!

    I played as the Teutonic Order and was sieging Novgorod but the city had a large so I waited then when the city was about surrender 2 full stacks of Troops came in and the city garrison came as well so my general which full dread and had a lot of Ritterbrudder and many other things defended a small but high hill and throughout the battle this song was playing and I won with some losses but the Novgorod threat was destroyed

    Remember a similiar situation where I was sieging a citadel and the enemy insited on fighting me at a snowy mountain all what I jad to was to place my army on the top and wait them to reach me tired then make my nufattums break the rest of their spirit.Needless to say my light cave gained lots of experience from capturing tons of prisonners

    The entire army routed due to severe outflanking (two enemy armies on my quarter stack) Only my 60-or-so general with half his bodyguard remained. Honestly, the man was probably just hoping for a good death in combat. But I wasn't just gonna give up! Ordered the man to run around the few remaining enemy units until he got a chance for a rear charge (they were spearmen, wasn't just gonna waste my men). At the end, two of my guys including the general himself were left, and three enemy spear units from a reenforcement army, virtually untouched. My men exhausted - but so were theirs. Suddenly I realised that the timer's running out. I was the one attacking so I had to move fast. Got two rear charges, and kept escaping the last unit whilst running down the other two, now routing. Finally got tired and lost hope, my two men, including my best general, weren't looking like they were going out of this alive. I ordered a frontal charge. Least I could do is give the hero a good death. By some miracle, these two men charging into 130 spearmen managed to rout them. Not a soul of the enemy was left alive and free, though I ransomed them as a thank you for the great fight. My general got from a bronze bar to two gold bars, effectively becoming the best unit I had in the campaign. Shame the console-forced replay was corrupted and couldn't be actually replayed. All of that to the tune of this song.

    The intense drum solo at 3:30 is the most intense part of the fighting, watching your allies die in droves around you. You're ready to accept your fate... when 3:52 starts and you see the bannerknights riding in on the enemy flank, mowing them down in a desperate melee. With spirit rekindled you join the fray and find victory.

    My opinion has since changed. Shogun 2 is my third favourite behind medieval 2 and medieval 1. It does have issues but honestly I like the matched combat. Sure entities may wait their turn to play an animation at times but it’s nowhere near as bad as in Rome 2.@@trabuco9

    Recently, I fought a massive Novorgodian army as the Teutonic Order (1550 vs 2100) and suprisingly won! I only have heavy infantry of mostly order spearmen, one sword brethren and a only 40 man dismounted rittenbrudders and 3 Livionian Axillaried against a massive Novorgodian Army with weak infantry but lots of archers and lots of heavy cavalry and horse archers and 4 trebuchets. With my general surprisingly getting killed by a trebuchet shot and my light cavalry depleted, I decided to have my line of heavy infantry charge the enemy lines and despite expecting utter defeat. Instead, my heavy infantry held on and managed to killed the enemy general and route the entire army. All to the sound of this music.

    One of my favorite moments in Total War Medieval 2 was playing HRE, my general had a small force of men (including some weirdly well armored militia) like 3 used up units who couldn't move anymore and we were about to be attacked by a fugoff massive army of French people with handgonnes, cannons, some cav and lots of foot knights so i panicked and decided to hire every mercenary i could get my hands on and we somehow won the battle using tons of Arqs and crossbowmen, also surprisingly i was trying to use the Pikemen as meatshields but for some reason they decided to work perfectly and i saw tons of french nobles unable to get past them and get stuck on the pikes which were working as they should have and decimated like 2 units of French footknights, it was weird.
