Medieval II Total War Spanish Music

[ollicompollimaster]

Oh Lord, this music gives me the chills and reminds me of one of the epic battles in my English campaign against the Spaniards, both sides facing each other off on a rocky plateau. A long archer and artillery skirmish followed, until the Knights of Santiago started moving. Soon, they were met by the English Knights, whilst the bloody infantry moved in...

[HarpOwlEyes97]

this song is named....?

[AxierNigromante]

@HarpOwlEyes97 Lullaby of death

[Kaleeb7]

Enter Antonio Banderez

[SlipSloop]

@Kaleeb7 lol

[AxierNigromante]

@Kaleeb7 Is not "Banderez", is "Banderas" hahahaaha Banderez sounds funny

[Lamadredetuamigo]

Love this song, "Lullaby of Death"

[4149TOBI]

Wish they put this in Kingdoms too when fighting in the America's, this is one my fav tracks of MTW II

[Eddsaysftw]

This is the best track in m2tw i think :) the only thing annoying about the game is when your a catholic faction lets say..England you attack another catholic faction then the pope has a go at you :S

[patrickbraga01]

Piqueros SuÍços del Tércios de Flandres. Dos Siglos de la invencibilidad española. Vamos!!!

[GermanEagle1000]

I like this song alot this is one of my favirets next to the Teutonic Order musice thanks for uploading them. :)

[TalonMercenary]

those Moors had better be scared when they hear this music

[FaustSketcher]

Damn i love this theme haha. the flamenco touch is awesome, specially the parts with the guitar.

[tugaxD23]

if u play whit spain or portugal u will listen this music in battles

[TalonMercenary]

most of the time when this plays as i move my army, i tend to choose 1 unit and march it randomly round the battlefield so this music never ends :)

[AxierNigromante]

@TalonMercenary i do the same xD

[DrWatsonPostmortem]

Suddenly, I am now very interested in medieval Spain.

[mrostion1]

epic music for reconquest

[Goliath260]

this song is the freaking shit, i love it when the designers take the time to put amazing music in a game.

[pablukarma]

Dear Creative Assembly:

Thank You

[TsarVoyaveda]

would be real funny if there was a glitch that the pope could excommunicate himself for attacking me. :D

[Hypastpist]

@TsarVoyaveda that would be hilarious

[EdikShepherd]

This song played in the battle that would mark my first campaign completion. I was England, had everything from France to Hungary, invading Turks were my last true obstacle. They gathered at Thessalonika and I slaughtered them mercilessly, claimed the city, and at last I was emperor of Europe! >:D

[Knallfroeschchen]

Schade dass der Kmponist dieser Soundtracks die Stimme, welche das Thema spielt, immer ein bisschen in den Hintergrund verfrachtet. ;-(

[TalonMercenary]

hmmmm i remember this playing in one of my Venice vs Byzantine battles far from Spain

[BREBOYDE]

Dreaming of Beating up those morros when I listen to this music

[PrinceofMacedon]

this is one of the best ones in the game

[TheJam1192]

<3

[Priyo866]

This is not Spanish song. It is played for Venice, Byzantine Empire, Milan, sometimes France, and Spain. But it is not Spanish song. It plays for all nations when they fight near Mediterranian sea.

It would be good if you wrote the name of the song. That is why I prefer TotalWarEra's music.

[ImTheSpanish]

@Priyo866 It sounds like flamenco.

[josephinedevesle]

@Priyo866 Maybe bit its style is totally Spanish.

[Dithrick]

@helfys20 My bad, just talking about Med 2 and not Med 1.

[theworldisfucked1]

the spanish next to the scots are my favorite great medieval civilization, mainly because they fought alongside us irish against the english, pity we lost 9 years war anyway but thanks nonetheless.

[AxierNigromante]

@theworldisfucked1 long live the irish!!

[Pioter15]

That's what I were looking for.

[vidman163]

the guitar is insanely epic with the music!

[SuperGermankid]

Viva Espanaaaaa!

[WhiskeyInTheJar9015]

could someone put up a video like this but with better quality? this song is not on the tracklist i have and its so damn annoying, this song is AWESOME. i am NOT AT ALL going to download it via some program i have :]....

Please. Help? XD

[necrontyr1800]

epic music wen ur spanish army is in America vsin massive amounts of aztecs with cannons pounding the earth and ur gunnrs cuttin the aztecs down

[kronosthetitanable]

kinda makes me think about moorish and spanish mounted javalineers skirmishing each other, and then a final confrontation...

[SelectiveTweet]

Crossbowmen, forward!

[Woundedautumn]

@SelectiveTweet PAPAL GUARD! MOVE MOVE! we're fucked.

[CKabayan]

VIVA ESPANA!!!!

[Gabemac916]

Wheres the Portuguese total war song at?

[Fistofass]

I used to love playing spain and hearing this song. sometimes at the start of a battle i'd move a group of units an inch to get the marching music to play, only to hear something else so i'd speed up the time, wait for that track to fade out and repeat until i got this song.

finally i'd order them all to march and slowly pan the camera across my line of full plate chivalric knights and musketeers.

god i need to re-install this game.

[KonstantinosXIII]

Viva el Imperio Español!!

[FerrariFire34]

I love how this song starts up right when you move your troops, it makes you just want to send them all in at once.

[emanuelshapera]

Santiago Matamoros!!

[oly355]

definately my favorite \m/

[catnip513]

One of the best songs in Medieval Total War 2.

[iberian333]

CONQUISTA ESPANOLA!!!!! OLE!!!! VIVA EL IMBERIO IBERIO!!!!!

[MrGatonegroish]

@iberian333 learn how to spell imperio and ibero please

[ivan55599]

santiago!

[sacredberserker]

que bonito se oye esto carajo

[grantrithor]

How come most of the music ISN'T included in the collectors edition ost? The other songs kick ass too.

[dandashem]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER!

THANK YOU

[BabaRamDass]

I mostly play Empire total war now but i really miss the music, it really brings to mind the epic Reconquista heroes and their battles!

[kelman221]

@BabaRamDass empire total war is crap compared to the older ones, but still fun. I miss the good music such as this.

[necrontyr1800]

@kelman221 Shogun 2 has returned with music with this composure

[kelman221]

@necrontyr1800 I got bored with shogun after playing it about 2 weeks, was very disapointing.

[wildbucky]

im not one to get all up in everyone case about my heritage and what not, but i tried spain to see what it was like after playing as spain in the campaign i felt awsome

[stevej71393]

Spain has always been my favorite faction in Medieval II. I first played France because of my heritage, but I soon learned that there is nothing more amazing than driving the Moors off the Iberian Peninsula. :D

[HoboDragon]

@stevej71393 obviously you didnt enjoy fighting the british as well as the holy roman empire trying to take your land

[stevej71393]

@HoboDragon lol I guess not

[fu5h1n]

@stevej71393 As a frenchman I do enjoy playing France. But the Reconquista is fun to play (and crushing Portugal too btw), and if you do i quickly Spain become very strong as it's easy to defend (compared to France anyway).

But, the France England feud is still nice to play :)

[oly355]

@fu5h1n totally agree with you

[valcan321]

Love this song. The trumpet is the best part to me.

[Rolandzebub]

Flamingo type of music? lol

[Pseudologic]

@Rolandzebub There is no flamingo type of music, only flamenco

[Rolandzebub]

@Pseudologic Obviously, you missed the comment I replied to. ;)

[Pseudologic]

@Rolandzebub I guess I did, my bad.

[VSSFantastic]

portugal <3

[IBrokeRules1and2lulz]

this reminds me of rome tw most

[tipper543]

This song is superbly fitting to a long line of cavalry making a direct charge. It's suicidal at times, yet beautiful.

[Pseudologic]

English knights, rout those dago twits! CHARGE!

<3 Medieval

[rvkice23]

genoese pavise crossbowmen

[Dri143]

i love/hate this guys

depending on which side they are :P

[AnonAnonyAnon]

1:56

I suppose it's just random, but whenever that part plays an enemy unit routs.

[Dri143]

music depends on battle

have you ever noticed the moment you start moving your troops a music comes, when you last half your army another comes, when the enemy starts to flee, or you, another one comes

most of us dont see it beacause we are too...into the battle. :P

[DoomHippie]

@Dri143

Not me! I have the opposite problem!

Wow! this is some great music! Oh, what, wait? There's a battle going on? WTF when did that start?!

[guilemaster147]

yay i've been looking for this. Best battle theme.

[userhome000]

sooo awesome~

[SwordsmanMercenary]

I wish I could find more of the medieval 2 music for download I found some but not all.

más le gustaba

[SirSethietheGA]

sometimes I would play catholic nations of the south simply to hear this chant...love the flamingo type of music back drop of this song

[Pseudologic]

@SirSethietheGA flamenco, not flamingo

[Patriot3332]

@SirSethietheGA Its Flamenco not flamingo.

[Augustus077]

@SirSethietheGA Flamenco not Flamingo!! The Flamingo is a pink long-legged bird xD Flamaneco is a music, and dance, style hailing from Andalucia (in southern Spain). And yes, this sounds a bit like it, plus monks for the chorus and some dramatic strings haha. That said this track plays whenever you have a battle in southern Europe... Iberia, Italia, mainland Greece and islands and bits of southern France, even if you are not playing any southern european factions.

[heflys20]

Seriously, I don't know I how some people figure the music in MTW 1 is superior. Seriously, most of the tracks in that game are too short, there are only two kinds of music (European/Middle Eastern); no sides have any unique anthems. This Spanish anthem is epic/

[Dithrick]

@heflys20 Well there are three types, actually. European, Middle Eastern AND Native American (Lakota Lambada).

[heflys20]

@Dithrick

Lakota Lambada is from Medieval Total War II, not the first game.

[tyfa3]

this maybe my fav track in MTW2

[hermosotealonso]

Podias haber puesto unas imagenes del los tercios, almogavares, mosqueteros ...

[LordIluvatar13]

This is my signature Venice song. =)

[yacasillegatuhora]

buena rola jep

[kassaj]

All you have to do to beat the timurids is build a shitload of cannons to take our their elephants. Normally they take like 8 cities before I can stop them. Once they lose those fucking elephants... spam horses

[ReDraG0nz]

yeah horses all the way i usually used full gothics knights and imperials knights vs the standards units and calvary followed with 4 units of reiters then i send 2 units each of them to take the 2 elephants units and thats all... they go berserker stamping their own units, i send all the heavy calvary for get thru to take down the enemy general charging the enemy archers and calvery in the way for take him and when he's sorrounded most of the enemy army is dead =)

[DiVeronica]

good times, I remember conquering all of the americas and europe with spain then the tatars or whatever came with their fucking elephants and started threatening northern italy. pissed me right off I couldnt stop them

[REdude4]

How did the hell they got all the way to northern italy?

[DiVeronica]

i dno they swept across eastern europe took poland and got to me! pissed me right off

[gorbulean]

i know wat u mean,i had a succesfull crusade on jerusalem,then i conqured ,i most of middle east,turkey egypt all dat,then the mongols came,godthat was hard,when i just finished wiv them those fuking timurids came and i lost all the territories.

[bork0o]

i destroyed turkey with byzantium first , then mongols came but couldnt stop them and then timurids came and started war with mongols so it was a little bit easier , but i wish turkey to be there to help againts mongols and timurids :P

[FieryJapeleno21]

My god i wish empire total war's battle music had music this good, or even just more than 1 tune lol

[leefbeef]

Mighty!

[boromirgondorian]

this is the best song :D

[xantippo]

This is a good music........it makes me think to pepole that live on the sea like us italian or u spanish hermanos....

[Agent1W]

Spain is pretty cool, playing their campaign right now and trying to figure out their army system.

[Nomizma]

Really like this song when playing the Byzantine Empire.

But I have to say something, once when I was in battle, I moved the greek king and he shoutted: Rapido!

Isn't that in spanish meaning: Fast!? Anyway maybe it was used in Medieval Greek, cause I know that "para" was a word used by greeks in classical and medieval greek, which is transalted to beside, and this is used by Spanish today!

-thx for the music, Greeting from a Greek!!

[LordIluvatar13]

Remember, while the Byzantines were a continuation of the Roman Empire, they spoke predominantly greek and latinization did not really occur in the Roman east. Anyways, this music is kinda a generalized Mediterranean tune with elements of Byzantine chant, Andalucian clapping beat, and Italian mandolin. Overall tho, it combines to make a great effect and I disagree about the horn being annoying; personally I think its the best part after the awesome mandolin/lute. =)

[darknacholinklol]

well at the end the horn solo is kinda anoying

[LordIluvatar13]

Italians got this song played too during their battles. I think if they slowed down the snare in the beginning and then sped them up...it would make it truly amazing.

[TempestWriter]

I love this song! It always made me think of the Byzantines though...

[jorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

estupendo señores ,es la mejor musica del juego un saludo desde españa

[XxZinnamonxX]

My favorite song in the entire game!! Gonna Start a new spanish campaign right now!

[ManofManxa]

And the last thing I may add: flamenco is related to andalusi music. That means that it is related to other musical and cultural expresion across the mediterranean. Hence the relationship between the andalusian guitar and the sicilian mandoline or the lute, which is played in many places across the Mediterranean Sea.

[ManofManxa]

Does the fact that Alfonso X was leonese involve that there wasn't a part of the peninsula which was still ruled by the Muslims (not necesarily moors/bereberians...)? does involve that there weren't muslims living under his rule in his kingdoms, muslims that, together with jews, became an important part of the cultural jet-set of the kingdom (learn a bit of the Translators School of Toledo).

[ManofManxa]

You're mistaken about the nature of Islamic Spain and flamenco. Flamenco is not a gipsy music in origin. The gipsies first heard of this music when they came in contact with the muslim marginal environment derived from the Castilian conquest of what is now Andalusia. The manipulation and steal carried out by the gipsies comes after that.

The fact that Alfonso X was leonese involves that a part of

[mentioko]

if you are proud better for you... O_o but dont say lies about a islamic culture in Spain today when the vestiges today are "few" words, foods, constructions,... but NOTHING else!!!.....ah and al-andalus means VANDAL´S LAND ^^

AND I REPEAT: THE MODERN FLAMENCO AND SIMILAR ARE MUSIC STYLES WHO COME WITH gypsies later, very, very later...MEDIAEVAL SPAIN HAS EUROPEAN MEDIEVAL MUSIC¡¡¡¡and another fake of the game is erase kingdoms like aragon, leon, portugal, navarra....

[bajiz123]

i love 0:53

[robo1945]

true

[jsvilla111]

nah i wouldnt b cus ur now a hated race

[Jockberg]

Islam is a religion though.

I wouldn't call Christians a race.

[ManofManxa]

Very inspiring music, with some hints of andalusian soul.

I like fighting in the Setenil siege (one of those historical battles that sets up in Spaint) while listening to this music.

[LordIluvatar13]

I like to think of this as Italian music. It has some Spanish flair, but the mandolin/lute is distinctively Italian. Could also be Portuguese, but I love this song when it plays when I play as the Venetians. Truly awesome.

[Sagensyg]

I remember finally fighting the Spanish Faction Leader and pausing it at some times just to listen to the song.

[mentioko]

what the fuck, music in the spanish age of castles like flamenco?¿?¿? what a shit....

[ManofManxa]

What used to be flamenco (before gipsy manipulation, which began with the Castilian conquest of southern Spain) is an evolution of andalusi music (music of Al-Andalus, or muslim-ruled Iberia), so very related with "Spanish age of castles" (Spain was living in an age of urban development. With 1 million inh., Cordoba was the biggest city in western Europe in the IX, X and XI centuries).

[Medievaltotalwargod]

this is also the best piece in the game sometimes i organize my troops just to listen to this

[Medievaltotalwargod]

my fav part is 0:01-4:02

[ArtoriusMaximus777]

You mean all of it? Me too. :)

-Artorius Maximus

[horselegs16]

best track in medieval 2!! when the music changes at 1:56 it is totally kickass! awesome to listen to when playing the game

[moistcrew]

I'm glad you guys appreciate the song i wrote and also that it has sparked much heated debate. Which brings me to another recommendation of a track i wrote in a similar flavor. It's called "Lifted to the Hotplate" and i personally like it even more than this one and is designed to trigger in mediterranean/spanish battles.

[erickgpt]

You serious?

[moistcrew]

Yeah i am. I prefer that track alot better. Plus it came out more naturally when i wrote it.

[RH55]

"lifted to the Hotplate" XD? u really wrote it??

[EuropeDefender]

VIVA ESPAÑA !!

[slayerfromabove]

oléy! :P

[I1HateTheInternet]

Oh by the way, to the Arab racist sniperbrigade or whatever, Middle Easterners stole their culture from the Romans, who stole it from the Greeks, who stole it from the Phoenicians. And you stole your religion from Christians, who stole theirs from the Jews. So, stop claiming you are superior, and that Europeans "stole" your thunder. If anything, you stole it from them.

[I1HateTheInternet]

It's so classic seeing my Highlanders whip Spanish ass to this song.

[Minotaurosu123]

I think he used the term "shit" as a stand in for "and so on and so forth". He wasn't actually calling Europeans shit.

Remember that the Arabs profited mainly from the writings of Greek and Roman philosophers as well, like Aristotle, Plato and Hero of Alexandria.

[ArtoriusMaximus777]

I sure hope Empire: Total War's music will be as good as Rome's and Medieval's. :)

[ROYALNOZGUL]

The first medieval's was the best.

[gthndshgesas]

fucking love spain.

[russianinja2008]

Nice song, good factions, but still I prefer england for its knights and long bowmen

[Tehmolez]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS TUNE!

[Doza130]

This is my favorite track but isn't on the sound track that comes with the game. I have no clue why. If anyone has an mp3 of this please message me.

[donjr22]

If you own the game you can do as I did and go to C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\sounds and open the music.dat file with "audacity" (its a free audio editing program). This will take a minute due to the large file size. Once open, skip to 1h:53m:30s and you will hear this song. Cut the part you want and convert to mp3.

Or you could just simply copy this youtube video and convert it to mp3 but you will have poor quality audio.

[Nirmajek]

@donjr22 do you know how many other tracks (worthty) are missing from the cd or a normal torent?

[ArtoriusMaximus777]

For some reason, when I listen to some Medieval II tracks, I get goosebumps lol, but in a good way. ;)

[gthndshgesas]

me too

[ArtoriusMaximus777]

I remember getting this music a lot when playing as the Byzantine Empire, or even Sicily. I think it goes for all Southern European factions, right?

It sounds nice. :)

-Artorius Maximus

[samsquantches]

i know, i got it a lot as the byzantines

[frazzledazzler]

both the alohmad civilisation and the spanish had their own strengths and weaknesses, the moorish culture was much more advanced in things like medicine art philosophy architechture etc but the spanish was much better in warfare and this happens all across europe in the middle ages as the west lost roman knowledge and the east kept it. The requonquista was never a true sucess as while the spanish kings and queens ruled iberia the moorish culture and islam lived on and is still there today

[Tehmolez]

Don't forget that "El cid", the so called hero of spain. Was a Mercernary that fought for both sides : D.

[elfonegrooo]

cid get to the fight with the Moors when he was banished by his king, yet never fight against their king or his homeland if not against other Arab kings, or the Count of Barcelona, rival king

[Tehmolez]

Cool thanks

[russianinja2008]

Yeah, only after Scientific revolution we Europeans started showing ourselves as great thinkers, architectures, mathematicians and shit.

I agree mostly but the last part. In fact, the Catholic Kings did a "good job" kicking out all what remained from Islam (and jewish). There is islam t
