After listening to this, I quit my job, burnt down my house, stole 5 horses from the local farmer and a bow and arrows from the museum, then set out to join Attila and his horde.

Finally i'm hearing my voice and instrument. Nice to worked with Composer Richard Beddow and great job. By the way I'm a Mongolian Throat singer( Khuumii) and Morin Khuur( Horse fiddle) player.

“It really makes you feel like being a Hun.” - IGN probably

Everyone is talking like "Attila was this, Attila was that," but maybe the real Attila was the friends that we made along the way....

They Raid They Raid But most importantly. They Raid

Attila was one of Napoleons most trusted generals, he fought bravley in the battle of waterloo

Everyone asks who Attila is. They never ask how he is :[

Western Roman Empire: Why do I hear boss music?

1:51 My grandma, singing me a lullaby before bed, after 60 years of smoking

It's always weird when I listen to this and read the channel name. It's hard to think such a big history KZfaqr was once uploading soundtracks. I guess we all have to start somewhere...

I love Central Asian music culture especially the traditional music with the horse fiddle and throat singing!

Am I the only one who digs how it looks just like Rome 1's main menu?

Attila was an ancient Canadian who crossed the Toronto landbridge.

Grandson of Mete Han/Maotun Chanyu great ancestor of all Turks, Attila the God's scourge❤

fools, attila was a western roman general who fought bravely against the hunnic hordes

The Attila main menu theme is one of the best in the series.

Damn, we need a Total War: Gengis

Our Great Victorious Ancestor, Atila Kagan, your children conquered Constantinapolis and put your Tug forever, Our Great Ancestor Attila, your children set up an eternal Republic 100 years ago today. Sleep well my Ancestor. We are your Ordu forever.

The most interesting place i ever heard this music was while sitting amongst the mountains of an ancient glacial valley in Kyrgyzstan. I was about 4 weeks into a 5 week long expedition to explore the mountains and nature of the country. I often saw men gallop across the mountain plains on their hardy steppe horses looking like Mongol warriors. During the morning when i listened to this, i was preparing myself for the excursion into the valley. I knew it would be hard, but the chills it sent down my spine was incredible.

Insanely powerful theme. Makes me want to pillage distant lands and make my mark in history

Attila was a Scotsman from Glasgow

Me on survival mode: *ill defend this village to dead* Me on creative mode:

Attila : " I am scourge of god" Genghis Khan:"“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

Attila was a southerner who rode with Robert E Lee

I played this song in front of my Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian friends. I would never have thought that a song could cause people to panic and have a heart attack.

No matter what the loyalists say, Attila is still so damn good.

Attila was an Arizona ranger with a big iron on his hip

*Flavius Aëtius wants to know your location*

The background to the main menu in this game is plain awesome.

This game... Was such a great challenge I will always remember my Western Roman Campaign on VH diff. The climax of the hunnic wars was Atillias 4 stacks pushing South of Ravenna had massed. I could no longer skirmish, delay or avoid battle. My 3 armies formed up on a wooded hilltop in a quadruple line of shield walled Legio Comitatenses and prayed. My third army of Herculani Semories formed the reserve when things got desperate. We fought savagely with hunnish artillery and arrows raining thru the treeline. Barely a few men survived the Onslaught! - The Roman line held and sent the Huns to flight. That turned the tide of the war and Rome prevailed!

"They came from the east, a torrent of flame and death, a storm of arrows and hooves. We'd heard stories from the barbarians, of course, but none of us had expected them to arrive so soon, or strike so ferociously. They descended upon us, blanketing the town with arrows, slaughtering anyone in sight, taking everything they could and burning everything else. The hellish neighing of those steeds of Satan...their shouts and yells in their devilish tongue...and...and their leader, a figure so terrible one could be forgiven for thinking him a Horseman of the Apocalypse. We fought, of course, but none of us were prepared for anything like this. We tried to form ranks, but they circled all around us, their arrows finding their way between our shields. One by one my brothers in arms fell, until there were scarcely a few dozen of us left. And when they fell upon us from all sides, their blades flashing, some loosing arrows even as they charged...we shamed our forebears, and dishonoured God. We threw down our weapons and ran. But none of us got far. I had scarcely gone fifty paces before I was cut down." "And as my foe rode away, shouting in his twisted language what must be some praise to his heathen god, I fell to the ground, blood pooling by my side, my vision slowly darkening. The air was filled with smoke and blood. And against the light of our burning city, all I could see were the silhouettes of our enemies, an endless stream of these rapacious invaders, loosing arrow after arrow into the backs of the few survivors, as embers from the raging inferno swirled through the air, and I felt my life slowly slipping away..."

According to J.K. Rowling, Attila was a dancer at a gaybar in LA.

others: thinking about the Roman Empire *literally me* :

Your a roman commander. Your scout comes to you out of breath and says "Attila is here!" Then this song plays.

throat singing can actually go unbelievably well with western orchestra

After all that Attila died of a nosebleed lol

Attila would be ashamed of his "grandchildren" in the comment section

I love the juxtaposition of Hunnic themes, throat singing, and the orchestra usually used with the Romans. It really gives you an idea of the era this game is set. The advanced and once great Roman empire struggling against the hordes of Hunnic tribes as they wreak havoc across an already destablised region. The instruments providing the "Roman" theme even seem to get drowned out by the louder hunnic throat signing towards the end, as if to show the Huns defeating the Romans. Such an epic piece of music.

When the singing comes in, what i heard is "hungary, hungary, hungary..."

The music is absolutely stunning and beautiful !

T A N R I N I N K I R B A C I A T T İ L A

Throat singing is common traditional music culture of Altaic peoples. Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Manchus... Stop fighting with each other. Just Respect. And be proud of this culture that you have inherited from your ancestors

Actually Attila was an ancient carthagenian that avenged the sack of Carthage

Underrated game.

I played this game a TON during my depression (healed for nearly 3 years now) on super shit pc so I couldn't even play the live battles, just the map game with automatic fights. I also spent like half my net worth at the time to buy it. Helped me escape reality at least somewhat. In hindsight it's huge nostalgia but I would never want to go back to that time. weird time in my life

The comment section: 99% Turks saying attila is turk 1% people that like the music

You see Atilla is actually a black female empowered women from 1890 in the southern united states of america

You know you're early when the video is 5 years old.

That graphic takes me back to the great days. The sweet, smoky tang of the burning cities, the sunlight of a bright morning shining over the fresh made ruins, the soft rains of evening washing the day's work from the forgiving grasses of the battlefields, the joy of discovering the diversity of Gallo-Roman wine and cuisine, the glorious landscapes of the Loire, the Rhone and the Po, the welcome we got from the girls of the empire, and their mothers, the sadness of not quite getting to visit Rome itself, but the marvel of the wagon loads of memorabilia we took back with us to Pannonia and Scythia. Five Star review.

Attila was a Catholic IRA member from Belfast in Northern Ireland

Big historical personalitys: exists. Turkish people: "It's free real estate.

The beginning sounds so tragic, perfect for the closing chapters of a dying empire

When the throat singing starts, civilized folk tremble 😱

Attila comes back from the dead saying he's an Australian

Attila was Finnish and he killed 1000 roman using only bow and broken bottle of Vodka. He created first finnish country since Finnish-Korean hyperwar. Fun fact only during his reign Mongolia and Finland were united.

I love watching Mongols, Turks, and Hungarians in the comment section arguing about what nationality Attila was while I just enjoy to a grandma who smoked ever since she was 5 playing a violin

Hail to the All great Turkic heroes that entirely changed the world's every century of history!

When horsemen start speaking Hunnic. ROME: OH GOD.

A hungarian here. Hungarians have Uralic origin. The word 'hungarian' didn't came from the word 'hun', but the word 'onogur', which was a turkic tribal alliance. Hungarians were also part of this alliance, when they lived in the Khazar Khaganate. We call ourselves 'magyar'. Medieval hungarians considered themselves as a descendants of Attila. We can't confirm it, as this theory is still debated amongst hungarians. (But probably it was just a legend.)

Steppe history in a song...chilling and beautiful

Attila was the First Florida man to ever exist

This soundtrack is so good, the guy who uploaded it now started his own history channel to find out where did Attila came from.

Still sends a chill down my spine all these years later

Roman border patrol: _begins to sweat profusely_

Best music I’ve heard.

1:51 ‘HUNGARY HUNGARY HUNGARY’ Edit: after a year I came back, and to see how there is an all out comment war from just a joke is just hilarious HAHAHA

I love that later half of the song. It has a perfect balance between the Hunic and barbarian theme, with the background tempo of the Roman empire still at large. It really puts into perspective the time that the game is set. During the inevitable collapse of the mighty Romans, the apocalyptic hordes of the Huns and the birth and rise of the "barbarian kingdoms" which developed into medieval kingdoms and thus the modern society. It makes you wonder how the world would have turned out if the Huns didn't break the Empire, allowing the kingdoms to rise. How more or less advanced would we be with Roman civility today?

Despite the mixed reviews for the game. This intro music and the graphics, which still look cool, sums up the Huns unrelenting menace. Congrats to the musicians who put this together, and Mongolian throat singing is utterly fascinating.

Attila was an Ork who raided multiple Imperial worlds.

I love the sound that starts on 1:19 It makes me think about a marching amry or the ever turning wheel of time. Along with the instrument in the background it sets a sad tone and creates a sense of despair of something that is unstoppable. Yet it is so epic at the same time and it gets me excited each time I hear it.

Thank you Bukhu, for your amazing talent, singing in normal voice and throat singing (Khuumii) and on the Morin Khuur. Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

Yo this music gives me the chills

Attila is the founder of IKEA

I know that this is supposed to be about Attila, but I can't seem to shake the image of the rise of Genghis Khan and his world conquest when listening to this music.

Absolutely chilling. I hope that they continue this style of main menu theme when appropriate for future installments. Nothing beats the steady onslaught of silhouetted warriors in the background.

this is a masterpiece good job whoever made this theme🙂

I don't know, but this music fills my heart

Attila: forces barbarian tribes to migrate to avoid him Rome: *incoherent screaming*

Love this piece of music. Always give me the nerve every time i listen to it, even after many years now.

Back again to pay the yearly respect let's go!

Imagine the thrill of riding with the Huns or the Avars on a raid 💗💗

Toprağın bol, ruhun şad, gittiğin yer, Uçmağ olsun ATA’M 💙🇦🇿🇧🇬🇭🇺🇰🇬🇰🇿🇲🇳🇹🇷🇹🇲🇺🇿🐺🤘🏼🧿

My Top Total War Main menu music: 1. Medieval 2 2.Rome 1 3. Attila 4. Empire 5. Shogun 2 6. Rome 2

All prays for the Tengri, lord of the eternal sky.

Still gives me the chill.

Finally some memorable music in my total war. Rome 2 just didnt cut it.

I close my eyes. And I feel flying around the time, the history & the lands... And finally I reach my Promised Land. After a Life of War.

The Last true Simulator of the Total War series. Every game made since has taken to the Total War: Rome 2 flavor of "strategy game first, simulator that grits player's teeth and Quick-Load button second".

Yes, they did a superb job of the intro. It's got the right amount of menace, build up, and while it's quite a slow number the way it increases tempo slightly gives it an illusion of speed that sum's the Hun's up perfectly. A great use of traditional elements and that throat singing is some seriously impressive stuff.

Girls raise their voice pitch when talking to boys they like 1:51- girls talking to me

Attila was a Swede and a direct descendant of Magog, the first king of Sweden.

Clicked on it to hear the excellent throat singing, saw Invicta put it up. Nice, always glad to give you a view!

Attila was Argentinian, from Mendoza.

WE WUZ HUNZ AND SHIET

One of the few total war games that I didn't enjoy playing, but I loved this menu music

this sure brings back memories

FOR TENGRI !
