Rise of Nations soundtrack - TheRussian

[benderamix3000]

R.I.P Victor Reznov

[thebainiac1]

sounds almost like a continuation of high strung

[tupsununnu1]

This music inspires me to fight for my country where I want to live in the future.Recalled the piece of music when I was playing this game a long time ago, when the Germans invaded my friend Martin (France), I was in England, however, I sent the Allies hundreds of machine guns, tanks and soldiers (Thompson). It was a fun game and the music is also good!

So peaceful and inspiring!

[sangyuni95]

Screw Russians and their territory attrition bonus -_-

[tupsununnu1]

@sangyuni95 yea I agree, but I'm not racist

[Ginga030294]

Actually not Uncle Sam!!!!!The motherland will conquer you!!!

[Ginga030294]

Uraaaaaaaa, The motherland will leads the world!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arbiter117343]

I have no idea Wat I'm posting. Here goes.

Впутать экватора фомича монарх соваться вопит мистика

[vvolf26]

Столица, водка, медведь.

[pollotierrez]

@ItsKnarKnar 0:28 UUUUURRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Vlad15Y]

love this game

[JosephBramma]

This reminds me of when Me as the British and my good friend Sergey are playing, I'm getting attacked by Germany, then I see hundreds of Shock Infantry and T80s coming to my rescue- and this song comes on.

How epic can this game get?

[DiscipleFiveActual]

The first forty seconds make me think of the Warring States Periods in China (5th-3rd centuries B.C.) or Japan (15th-16th centuries A.D.).

[DiscipleFiveActual]

@DiscipleFiveActual Like maybe when a city falls or something; I forgot to add that to my last comment.

[zonurvideos]

i want vodka ....absolute !!! or traditional vodka !!! Putin Sends us a bottle Vodka

[musicplayer438692]

2:15 French Horn part is AWESOME!

[boss180888]

jesus, tears are coming into my yes, must hold back! this brings me back :)

[Crazyman1212]

@ItsKnarKnar you forgot about the chain smoking :P

[Retro90Flashback]

DOUBLE ATTRITION DAMADGE FTW!!! (seriously, its how I always win ;D)

[jaggedfire5]

@Retro90Flashback Russians + Colosseum + Kremlin = Win! :D

[Funinabox09]

Man, this is my all-time favorite game musical piece.

[therebel11gamer]

i fell like this is more like british then russia to be honest

[Retro90Flashback]

@therebel11gamer I think that this goes well with any major empire; but the deep brass instruments to me really reflect the grandeur of massive consolidated russian forts, wheras the violyn's playing in the background are most commonly associated with battle-ships and the Navy, of which Brittian had no worthy advisary... so yeah it can really go both ways :)

[IceWolve67]

As epic as the soundtrack of lord of the ring : It give you a feeling of honor and power !

[ThePowerWithin34]

1:37 FOR SOVIET RUSSIA!!!!!!! :P

[Philmozzila]

I hear this song when i fly planes

[SovietLenin1]

@ItsKnarKnar lets just say 00:43 never existed

[aliciathefatpenguin]

accompanied by the sound of gunfire, ahhhh.....

[ultimativeusername]

This song deserved to be 12 Minutes long, it still would be awesome. Too sad its that short.

[DarklordofDOOM57]

Both the music and the game are remarkable.

[DarklordofDOOM57]

I never tought a game soundtrack could be so amazing.

[Cislouille]

The beginning remains me the poor Russia before Stalin, and then, the forced industrialisation and military campains !

[FireEmblemDemon]

russian is the best in the game especially in the modern and info ages

[Nefus1988]

This song makes me think of Ivan the terrible!

[reddenbawker]

This always plays as I assault a defense perimeter suicidally. 

[IanHawshire]

Human Shields solve all problems!

[Orogenesis]

I used to love this game just for the music.

So good.

[andrewMLhero]

Protip: you can find the wav files for the soundtrack in \Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations\sounds\tracks

[CamanEmpire]

2 people aren't Russian. Sad day for them.

[evilresidence4]

amazing soundtrack.

this has john williams potential

[BravoCharlieNiner]

I can imagine my cavalry charging into the enemy ranks...

Oops, my capital's under attack!

:)

[jimbob615]

1:37 BUILD MORE MEN! MORE MUSKETEERS! SEND THEM INTO BATTLE! :D

[syriandruze]

this song makes us start peacefully and friendly and end up vicious. 

[roughneckfv]

The good old game times. After school I went on RON..

[JasminLeblanc]

RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWH MOTHERLAND!

[reddenbawker]

FOR THE SOIVET UNION AND THE GLORIOUS MOTHERLAND, GET READY FOR WAR!

[EddieTheFishReturns]

This music is absolutely the bee's knees, the mutt's nuts, and the best bits of all the other animals.

[Tharosa1942]

When I listen to this song more than 5 times in war in Rise of Nations.

I'm pwning my brother too.

(this song deeply penetrates in to our mind and transform in to war mined)

[jagdkommando8]

I loved this game and still do

[MogManDog]

I like it where the irish-sounding Violin sarts fiddling at 0:40.

It's kind of make it different and stereotype-breaking.

[RamiusChase]

Favourite of the whole lot.

[crysiseternity]

Sounds a lot like mother Russia.

[Grayfog]

This is awesome war music, just like High Strung.

It always seems to play when I have an epic army and I've got an enormous artillery battery about to wreck some shit.

[Cloyde100]

Whats with the lets drink Vodka statement?

[Tharosa1942]

@Cloyde100 Vodka is the unique drink in Russia

[EvangelionPower]

The definitely best track from Rise of Nations soundtrack. It always brings me the atmosphere of the war.

[reddenbawker]

this song can be an asshole sometimes. one of my most important towns just got nuked and then this plays and im like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­U"

[Wilhiemthe2nd]

@reddenbawker same here

[DrFsdasD]

history teachs us: russians,this are people who must be controled with only one and who can ruin all the world.... so GO LEARN IT

[trexattack]

i always love to own germany with Russia and the Dutch (i dont really like germans since 1940-45

[supersonicwind1]

how curious this soundtrack started just when i was playing as a russian and i was invading a country that make me mad

[supersonicwind1]

how curious this song start to play just when i was playing as a russian andi was invading a country that make me mad...

[AGuyAndAGun]

Why did they never make a sequel to this, this is just pure GOLD here.

[nukeboy14]

Completely sets the mood for an epic battle

[IwindmanI]

[sovjettank]

[metallicaland1345]

Welcome To Russia Bitches!

[jimbob615]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[skaterava]

RoN has a briliant soundtrack. this would have been a good soundtrack to Enemy at the Gates too.

[bgypupi]

all time favorite RTS game, "NUKE THEM NUKE THE BASTARDS!"

[jimbob615]

agreed. or ICBM them :)

[Lasgun91]

I've been looking for this song! Its my favorite from the game!

[aryul]

History lesson learned: Don't invade Russia.

[Duffmaister]

Another history lesson: Russia, don't try to invade Finland =P

[aryul]

......Simo Hayha

[DawnOfIronBlades]

@Duffmaister

yeah the russians had to fight hard against finnland!!

[jimbob615]

Russia and Finland are tough nuts to crack...

too much snow!

[Aruthiand]

I'd say a hundred years of occupation is a pretty convincing invasion =P

[Duffmaister]

@Aruthiand if you are talking about Finland, you have to remember Russians invaded part of Sweden, and the finnish speaking culture only started to emerge in the middle of 19th century. In the beginning of 20th century it was becoming so strong it was inevitable that independence was going to be our goal. Russian civil became the ample opportunity to gain independence. After that Finland has not fallen before attempted invasions, and has never been ruled under communism.

[Mullahgrrl]

@Duffmaister Im not sure if that is a correct way to use 'ample'.

[Duffmaister]

@Mullahgrrl What I meant is: "Russian civil war was a great/big opportunity to gain independence" :P

[Mullahgrrl]

@Duffmaister Yeah, ample means more like 'plenty' unless im wrong.

[kevinrigg]

@Duffmaister uh, how did u get the songs?

[Duffmaister]

@kevinrigg If you have the game they can be found in the game files, for me it was C:Progam Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations\sounds\tracks

[Scruffy193]

Tremble before the Russians, for they have the Power of the Motherland!!!

[Loweren]

balalaika - IX-XVI, old era

after it - Romanov dynasty, especially Petr 1, music sounds more european

strong music in the end symbolises soviet union

:P

[cardude024]

good interpretation

[dfm40000]

They need to do an extended remix of this song.

[LiveArtsCoLtd]

One, good song. I love this game so effin much.

Two, the weird thing about this song is how it plays whenever I'm getting owned, when my entire force gets decimated and the attack fails.

[Dantex626]

whatever Duffmaister the composer got skills ;)

[Pietsu2]

THIS IS SO F***ING GREAT SONG!!! The best part is 0:40

[ArguriosRS]

Dang man, this track is awesome. Once again, you guys should listen to 0:40 (plus the "intro" to the best part which is 0:42). I sometimes find myself whistling to it, haha.

I remember sending my tanks, special forces, navy, militia men, everything I could get to defeat the last standing city of my enemy.

[GerudoUK]

I love this song, but the beginning reminds me more of Japan. Could someone please clarrify how this constitutes to be russian music?

[Duffmaister]

You could ask the composer himself, he's got an account here on youtube. :-)

[ArguriosRS]

What's the composer's username?

[Duffmaister]

DuaneDecker , I don't know how often he is online though but if you need to know more about these songs he is the man to be asked.

[ArguriosRS]

Alright. Thanks a lot :]

[goianiadweller]

Probably because of the Mongol/tatar dominance between the XIII and XIV centuries, that was very important for the ascension of a Russian state.

[Duffmaister]

Sounds reasonable, seeing that there's many ages in the Rise of Nations game, it could be from any period of russian history.

[ArguriosRS]

0:42 is my favourite part of all of the music tracks in RoN.

[invarient70]

Love the fickle background that alters in intensity

[nubnub446]

I love this track. Usually though I associate it with conquering an enemy city and picking off its' civvies, as is started up just as I did so more than once.

[newbiemaster99]

the russians have the most powerful tank on the world

t-95 tank

[Dantex626]

well, the winter war didnt you done so well. against finland! come on.

[22fr6]

This music symbolizes the unstoppable force that was and still is the Russian military. So much and such overwhelming brute force at such rapid speeds instantly defeats any attempts at finesse.

[StopatnothingRamm]

the russians dont count on speed or instant defeats, they count on attrition and slowly wear down the opponent.

[123market456]

This music comes when my bombers are bombing enemy cities and my fighters are protecting them or when enemy places cross my airspace and attack buildings/troops etc... Mostly the latter... It was weird to hear this music without the air raid siren in the background :P ... I'm so accustomed to it.

[augustmaple]

for me it's usually during the big forces vs building badge. i hear it alot during missle launches.

i know wat u mean though, it feels weird to hear this music without the corresponding game parts

[oleT123]

I'm always the russians

[flashfith]

nice =) im a pro at this game

[Bidmartinlo]

Russians have cool infantry.

[FledermausRising]

the rapid finger alterations in the piano at the beginning is a trait of russian music but is often recognized as italian so that's what your probably thinking of.

[psychgoth]

@FledermausRising

That's actually a traditional Russian/ Ukrainian instrument called a Balalaika C:

[Grayfog]

@FledermausRising That's a balalaika, which is a guitar-like instrument. Not piano.

[ThingThing1204]

@Grayfog I was trying to find out what that instrument was for a long time! Thank you!

[saturn6990]

That sounds italian XD

[Darthfenerooo]

why italian?

[saturn6990]

Dont know hehe, the strings in the intro I think....

[WerewolfTrooper]

Russia and USA !!!! the best nations in the world . I'm from brazil hehehehe

[poplaf]

this music always comes when my nation is about to lose

[FredThaSlayer]

me too O_o

[1manmafia]

Me too lol

[Dantex626]

its all ends with world goverment and wars ;)

[Dantex626]

STILL LOOOVE ITT!!!

[freaker695]

the slowly beggining of the russian songs!

This game got awesome songs!

[Maxakin]

RON has one of the best game soundtracks ive heard

[JWBails]

My fave strategy is to get Artificial Intelligence asap, set the checkpoint at the enemy base, and swarm them with everything

[Xystus234]

Gah, didn't mean to knock you down. My bad.

Arti-teligence is the shiz though.

[Xystus234]

This song is utterly beautiful in so many ways.

[Lokreil]

Yah... I ripped the soundtrack to my commputor.... Their easy to do... All u have 2 do is right/control click on the disk in ur hard drive and then navigate like this...

C(or whatever):

RoN/

And just look through the folders... ull eventually find it....

[Nefus2]

This games soundtrack is great

[HiveFleetHydra]

I simply sent a horde of t-34s against my tanks while they were still in the industrial age, wiping them all out.

[bbyy1122]

good memories :)

[OperationAnime262]

This song reminds me of a snow filled Kremlin in Soviet era Russia

[Carnivorousbutterfly]

I love this song its so pretty in the beginning and kind of epic everywhere else, its great and I'm glad you put this up.

[AloneDBY]

This reminds me when all the nations suddendly declare war to each other,launching nuclear missiles everywhere. Incredible song!

[sashkaa94]

Eto krassivoe! :D

[tenge7]

heh this song always played when the enemy was nuking me =/

[michalphobos]

damn nuclear missiles! :<

[Pyco0I0uJI]

impresive, love when it plays in the game

[vasiliisnik]

sounds of Russian balalaika...=)

[Darthfenerooo]

my favourite soundtrack for this great game ;)

[southviet890]

for this song did they use a balalaika?

[ejb626]

This always played as I devastated my enemies and took their capital

[thegreatviolistdude]

Really? For me, it plays as I kill all my useless citizens to make room for my overwhelming army. Mwahahaha! Then I go devastate the enemy capital.

[SoshiHwaiting]

Really? This played when my economy was going well and for peace time lol.

[EricTheRed03]

I never had fond memories of this song because it would always be the final song I would hear before I would lose :(

[Marth1993]

Sorry to hear...But you have to admit, there is no better song to be completely and utterly destroyed to. XD

[Glewndack]

my memories of the song are when italians attacked my capital with 2 dozens of stealth bombers and i couldnt find a way to defend my buildings (my economy was poor)

[Marth1993]

My memories of this song: Launching a massive invasion of shock infantry, T80s and flamethrowers, toppling whole civilization in one minute flat.

[AdmiralZhao23]

the best part is the violin at the beggining

[Cislouille]

Wow , that music give me an impression to be more powerful than gods.
