You are just right!
This track is a prime example of how a high BPM track can change time perception of Humans. It is just ca. 3 Minutes long, yet it feels like a 5-7 minutes track when in combat.

@@Vikingr4Jesus5919i have obsessed over that feeling and tried to find it in various total war tracks and there's lots of good ones that capture that sound, however, i dont think it's realistic to think there are moments like that in battle. because think about it, it's a glorified idea that a battle is going to have a climax where everything is cool and there's fighting all around you like yeah that'll be happening but i feel like it'd be traumatic not cool. it's a different story when depicted in a game or song tho.

@@nukacolacompany2534 There are countless people who love battle, fighting and killing and even those who would like to die but not without a fight. This spirit is well and alive humans, those who are not inclined to like this may very well start liking it after trauma of loss of loved ones at the hands of enemy soldiers. How else do you think genocides and atrocities happen? We all have that spirit in us.
Melee Cafe has always been my favorite. It starts at a 10 in intensity and then ramps up, and up, and up again. It's nuts. An absolute classic. Thanks for scoring my childhood, Jeff van Dyck.

Thanks 😊 I was quite torn whether to leave that in or not. I agree it adds intensity (which was the intention) but it was a little out of character. In the end I decided to go by feel rather than logic. There’s a few synths in the RTW music in fact. The main menu song “Rome Total War” has a synth doubling all of the french horns.

This One of my favorite Songs to listen to. Because when i was playing it i love the music
Great! This music inspire me to overcome many difficulties in the pass ten years!
This song always would play in the heat and most intense part of the battle. Perfect
This is probably the most heart attack inducing song to hear in combat and I love it
The enemy army flees, time to pursue and cut them down! Best theme in the entire game!
0:51 *Enemy Force fleeing from the cavalry*. 🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻
One of my favorite battle songs. Will never forget.
There has never been a soundtrack in any game or music that can match this when it comes to sheer pressure and you being decisive. Heart pounding due to adrenaline, you should be decisive … making sure all of your units are doing okay. Always trying to adapt on the spot against your opponent and planning contingency plan incase they counter attack. It feels like I'm using 100% of my brain processing power when this soundtrack kicks in against a very good opponent online. This game is a very good brain exercise, unlike chess where you take turns... THIS isn't and you have to act swift. This game helped me on my career on decisive thinking and making business decision that requires a calculated swift action. Once I have a family of my own, this is one of the game that I will let my kids play. They not just learn history and enjoy the game, it also helps them improve all of the things I mentioned above.
One of the best OST tracks ever. Also wow! I didn't know you worked with Saki Kaskas, two legends of video game music!
Considering how I grew up with NFS and TW I was genuinely surprised to see Sakis name on this one, guess I didn't pay attention to credits back then. RIP
Always bring back the feeling when 1st times see Rome ttw opening scene ... Epic
This song makes me want to bring a mattress to a pillow fight
Every battle soundtrack in the early Total wars is perfect for a cavalry charge and ensuing meele

I wouldn't say most intense. By 130 BC there's only one power left that is a fair challenge against Rome, and it's Rome itself. Best time to be a Roman consul though, lots of 'easy' conquests.
Epic, just that, epic.
Homie i played this when i was like 7-8 years old when this music would start in battle i would be so fucking overwhelmed and pumped on adrenaline that I would have to pause the game the calm my self down
Ooffff, right in the nostalgia haha. Great tracks that bring back many happy memories of fun.
Oh god this brings back the memories of entire armies smashing against each other, cavalry flanking, archers, slingers and auxiliaries pelting the enemy.

2:12 - When Pompey starts to realise that his left flank of cavalry is collapsing at Pharsalus.
When this is on, it's the only time you are really in a hurry during a Total War game. All units involves, some winning, some losing and you have to micromanage everything.

1:37 somehow always plays when there is a lot of galloping and running over enemy captains/generals on the screen. Just add hooves sounds to this and you are right there again when s**t went down hard many many years ago.
Not to get too out of hand, but the sound track was the best part of this game. And this game was fucking good.
When the faction you've been groveling with the last few seasons finally attacks you with a full banner
It makes me stand with the shield and pull out the sword
I was in a dream when i was playing.
"I would like to order a pila volley, then a calvary charge, then a legionary charge, please."
Esto es una obra maestra.
The music of Rottweilers tearing through half naked gauls
UNITS, DOUBLE TIME

Ambush in forest road, Spear circle and Testudo formations, archers in middle, let the gauls come at us!!
