I love this track in particular very much. It portrays a cataclysmic battle, the snares and bells add a significant weight to it, the snares a military tone and the bells a dire one. The rise and fall of the brass portray the ebb and flow of battle. Overall, it's an excellent piece of soundtrack.
It really reminds me of not the battle of agincourt but the battle of grunwald it sounds like the music is portraying a battle to end evil and that it will be a tough fight, just like the real battle
It feels terrible, and the longer it drags on, the worse it gets. All the men you slay and lose, yegh. As the Teutons fighting battles where I was outnumbered 4-3 to 1, WHILE HAVING A FULL STACK, was so good. It sadly does not fit the very mobile kind of warfare that some of the other factions rely on, such as the Lithuanians
It perfectly fits Lithuania, the turmoil and dread of fighting all Europe in the form of the TO for the right to keep existing and worshipping your old gods. To me this music has nothing to do with Germans and is the soundtrack of Lithuanians fighting for independence.
And there's a certain regality yet desperation throughout. I see a king adorned in all of his livery leading a desperate cavalry charge to rescue his beleaguered frontline before it's too late.
J. Van Dyck aced every song in m2tw so I was surprised to see yet another banger from a different musician. The 3 composers for med2 were legen-dary (J. Van Dyck is still on another level though, I just don't get how you can produce so MANY different, unique and great songs for a game like this)
I prefer this song over new arc ascends as it feels more emotionally driven rather than a bigger order forcing change on ya. Which would be a great topic the Teutonic order and the means on leaders of the order for a pysch study
When chaos seems to be winning but then suddenly ordertide appears with all the knights from medieval 2 total war , and just gloriously charge on them and destroy the evil
They're birds, probably ravens about to eat all the dead bodies on the battlefield. Picture is a painting of the following morning of after the Battle of Agincourt.
@@aramwatters the artists you meant were very likely to know to read, they went to schools of art and all their education was patronized.

@@faffywaffy8872 hey man sorry it’s a bit late but for the English armies during the 100 years war especially due to the battlefield loot poor soldiers would have been able to equip themselves with both high quality armor and horses. It was said that Henry V only allowed his soldiers to loot armor after agencourt in case a retaliatory army showed up. It was also said most longbow men(who comprised about 70-80% of the English army of the time) could and did use horses to transport themselves from A to B
@Jotaro97 Well back then in the medieval ages paintings were intented to tell stories and to tell them in a way most people can understand and comprehend. So actually it often was intented to paint soldiers in contemporary (but anachronistic) armor so that people are able to understand what is shown in the picture. Realism was less important. But this image in the video was made in the 19th century. In the 19th century we have another problem: historicism. In the 19th century painters often tried to make their paintings look historically accurate. But at the same time this was a period of nationalism and late monarchism. These ideologies distorted and idealised historical facts. So in the end historical depictions that were made in the 19th century were often very anachronistic, too. - Just as well this one here. The armor is from the 17th century I guess but surely not from the 15th century. Here btw is a contemporary depiction of the Battle of Agincourt: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Schlacht_von_Azincourt.jpg . That's way closer to what heavy armor from this time period really looked like.
when I play with the Teutons who are my favorites and while I’m in a battle that seems impossible to win. somehow this theme makes me beat any army with the Teutons. No matter how fucked up the battle, with this theme I must win it
Yes exactly same here, even in battles I entered with knowing I will definitely lose, I ended up taking it so serious and winning it, today I finished the campaign with teutonic order, now it's time for britannia :) such a great game and soundtrack
It would fit in the sense of there being “darker skies ahead” at the outbreak of WWI in the summer of 1914. They sent the troops off to the front with fanfare and bands playing music.
@@randomnepali7772 no because Turkish got new front to fight , the sofians Persia. but vianas got in really brave heart to fight and defend their land . respect
Great song! Just a nitpick, I'm pretty sure this was composed by James Vincent and not by Jeff Van Dyck. James Vincent also composed some other tracks for the game, but no as many as Jeff Van Dyck.
Why does this title, soundtrack and both the image somewhat remind me of the Battle of the Five Armies from the Hobbit? After all, the skies were darkened by the bats proceeding the hordes of Goblins and Orcs and Wargs. "Rally the troops fast, for our fate is to be decided today!"
Any idea where these knights are from in the painting? Some of those helmets remind me of those I understand were used by the Holy Roman Empire? But I could be dead wrong
No, because you could see the banner of Navarre in the picture, the only flag you could see, and since there's no participant from Navarre nobility in Battle of Agincourt in either France or England side, so the answer is NO
@@Peristerygr do you know that teutonic order was created in the holy lands (same as knights templar and hospitellar) and later they moved to the prussia by the order from the pope or Poland,they were send to destroy the heretics and christianize their lands.
This battle music is played in Britania and Tewtonic campaign were ISIS territories aren't even in the map. Ιmagine if this music was played in the Crusaders or in the main game. Unless we have lithuanians, russians, welsh, scots and irish joining ISIS.
Gotta love ignorant people. You say islam is bad, yet YOU are the one who wants to wipe out a religion where most of its followers desire peace? sorry, but youre the backwards fanatical one here. Also, Christians did try. 3 Crusades - look how that turned out.

@Lane Hok song about Teutonic Order in the game.
Your avatar is the image of the Great Emperor Charles V, Ruler of half the known world. Congratulations on your good choice.
Does anyone know what instrument is used to make the sliding whistle noise? It's not, well, an actual 'slide whistle' is it?
This song always makes me think of the Battle of Castillon, the epic final battle of the Hundred Years' War fought in 1453.
You can actually hear chaotic moments of battle, mayhem and slaughter, and later regular march. Beautiful.
Yeah the song ebbs and flows like how an actual battle would!
And there's a certain regality yet desperation throughout. I see a king adorned in all of his livery leading a desperate cavalry charge to rescue his beleaguered frontline before it's too late.
This is the soundtrack of Lithuania's desperate resistance. My favourite faction in all TW games.
