Medieval 2 Total War Music - Clash of Nahual

[dragdev]

Sounds like the Aztecs are drinking too much coca cola.

[BlackTemplar43]

I can always imagine the Aztecs sacrificing people to this song. The rhythm makes your heart pump faster and faster...

[Yuilen]

When I landed for the first time in the Americas, I couldn't believe how much gold, chocolate, tobacco and silver there was. It was a merchant's paradise.

[sdhubbard]

I think I remember this song from like the first time I had a battle in the New World. I was like "Holy shit, what planet have I landed on?"

[silentsurvivor2011]

WE CAN DIG IT

[SinerAthin]

This reminds me of the first meeting with the natives in Total War.

Bunch of half naked men versus religious fanatical psychopaths armed in heavy plate from top to toe that had previously burned half of Europe and exterminated all life from the middle east.

Didn't end so well for the natives xD

[AirborneRangers75th]

If you thought the European Barbarians were bad.......

[MrDoubleFaced]

i can just imagine spanish troops fighting in dense forest with mayans and at 1:21 mayan troops rise from the grass behind the spanish and charge them...and it all goes dark when they clash...

[liminatei]

amazing !!!! COMBAT COVEEEEEEERRRRRRRR !!!!!!

[BrutalChaos1]

This music played as when my colonial troops arrived from Europe to the Americas and the first encounter with the Aztecs and my troops where massacred

[attomal]

I love it! it goes faster and faster!

[agenericname2]

Cierra could reference close as secure, when someone tells your to secure a door you close it. Translation from language to language can be awkward but I have experience with Spanish so I believe it means "For Santiago and the safety of Spain"

[Tanatonoth]

sierra means mountains

cierra means close, by example "Close that gate".

"Santiago and close Spain", I think. I'm spanish, but I don't know what it means. xD

[silentsurvivor2011]

POR SANTIAGO POR YESU CRISTO

[OneEyeWonderWeasil]

RECONQUIESTA!!!

[xantiphos]

Cierra, in the early modern spanish language, for military uses, means: charge or attack. Was commonly used by Spaniard troops during the Reconquista and continued to be used during the early stages of the Spanish Empire by the tercios and the Spanish cavalry.

[LuxxyLux1]

i love the yell the guy make's in the beginning

[alooy101]

I love this song, reminds me of slaughtering europeans as the Mayans......soo good!

[GamerKayak]

Sounds like its from the aztecs, apechean, chimic, tarasan, talaxaens, or the Mayans

[LionTroy]

I swear the people in this music are singing "We can dig it, We can dig it"

"Dig it! Dig it! Dig it!".

[TiberiusCladiusNero]

@LionTroy You left out the Ahhhhhhhh part.

[ieatpilli]

@LionTroy LMFAOO!!! Damn you!!! I'll never hear this song the same again hahahahaha!

[jerrettjohnson99]

omg this is my song i was looking forever to find this song. thx

[Vuretas]

hmm... ive never heard this in m2tw before...

[Dri143]

@Vuretas

when you reach the aztecs

[joshguitar100]

¡Santiago y cierra España! [Santiago And Spain]!!!

[Priyo866]

Reminds me of golden age of Aztecs, grand Tenochtitlan, and pursuades me to hate Cortez.

[Perszeusz]

@Priyo866 Indeed.

[GunJack3100]

THE BEST!!!

[Dagsschiller]

what does ¡Santiago y cierra España! means?

[TotalWarEra]

'Santiago and Spain!' I think, not sure what cierra means.

[jayjay042298456]

@TotalWarEra cierra means close

[fiscornioman]

"Santiago, and close Spain!"

Meaning just secure all entrances to the country and keep it safe from all kind of foreign influence.

[Retillias]

@fiscornioman If I'm correct, the Knights of Santiago were founded to remove the Moors from Spain or something, so I'd guess they were the foreign influence

[fiscornioman]

The Moors came from Africa and conquered the Spanish peninsula, the "spanish" natives were the celtibers, "barbarians".

[Retillias]

@fiscornioman Well, since it seems the "Spanish natives" are in control, I'd say the Moors were definitely removed. Probably thanks to the Knights of Santiago

[fiscornioman]

Well, when the moors came to spain, there was a mixture of greek, roman and celtiberian population, so its pretty hard to define exactly "who" are the "spanish natives".

Knights of santiago were just one military order, there were many more, including the templars, fighting in the reconquest.

But also nobles, mercenaries (El Cid fought as a mercenary for a period of time) and all kinds of personalities took place at the reconquest.

It had to be a weird epoch to live in.

[Retillias]

@fiscornioman All I know is that in the description of the Knights of Santiago on the game, it says that they were founded to "drive the moors out of Iberia", which I think explains that Santiago y cierra Espanol thing everyone is talking about. But you're right, it does sound like a confusing situation.

[MrGatonegroish]

@TotalWarEra It's just like "Long Live Santiago and Spain!". Sort of.

[crimsonsamurai09]

@Dagsschiller its actually Santiago y cierra, Espana. The comma is important so not to cause confusion. when they mean cierra it means to engage or close into the enemy. Santiago referred to the apostle and patron saint of Spain so a rough translation would probably be "Santiago and close in, Spain!"

[Owlynator]

@Dagsschiller It means "Santiago and closes, Spain!". The meaning of the phrase is to praise the apostle Santiago, and to charge or to attack.

[jedisanmoyo]

@Dagsschiller In fact the battle cry was ¡ Por Santiago.... a ellos!, it means For Santiago..... get them!

[angelmarsall1]

@Dagsschiller yeah well y think cierra which actually is spell sierra means mountains

[espartaner]

@Dagsschiller cierra means close, but it makes no sense this :S

[SwordsmanMercenary]

I want to kill something now!

[Viriato89]

I feel like in the battle of Otumba.

¡Santiago y cierra España!

[xZenetothx]

yes I found it! This song was the only one that made me wanna pick up a sword and hack away at anything made of flesh and bone

[azgazazaz]

I just love this shit :D

[SashaTheBrit]

[helmmaodemartelo]
