Yah, I'm not sure for other factions but the Egyptians have way too much cav. Cav are their starting units, you can build cavalry archers and melee cav before you can build peasants or peasant archers.
AnOriginalName Any faction can rally up cav units from a castle, depending on what tier of settlement it is. Peasants, archers and other line infantry / foot units can only be trained when you build the required military buildings. Bit late, but there you go. ;-)
I love how authentic this is. Jeff van dyck wasn't messing around when he made this piece. Starting from 2:15 onwards he used quartertones just like actual arabic maqams (listen closely to that B or perhaps Bb)
@Aq qoyunlu mapper Not violent? Ah yes, we have a game about medieval warfare in cities, and you expect us to be merciful. It's like, everything and generals in medieval times were ACTUALLY honourable.
@Aq Qoyunlu well depending, if the enemy show with 1000 men and are fighting my general, and then exterminate him, i will also burn everything and then put it at very high tax rate and build only for economic purpose
Some people says that War of Kings is the best Some other says that Duke of Death is the best But I think that Crack Your Head With A Tabla is the best
And as we we all know, the Scottish Imperium decisively defeated the Ottomans and sacked Constantinople in 1313 AD. At least, that's how it happened in my game. :>
Jacob Nugent I only ever made one comment of the translation then decided to see if anyone else wanted to know what it translated to. Never really roamed around at all lol
Crack your head with a tabla is very intense theme in the Total War games saga, it is a theme and hymn that represents the middle eastern and north african and central african faction from Total War Medieval 2. My blood boils with pride when i hear this theme. This one and Mare Nostrum are my favorite ones. Mare Nostrum represents basically all the factions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.
Jeff Van Dyck is a genius composer. Every culture is represented in the game with absolutely fantastic music. This one and Duke of Death I feel are the best.
@@omari2306 i would say it fits all western and central european factions, whenever i hear it right when battle starts it makes me forget about playing smart and I charge the enemy with all forces i have instead
Even after all those years since its release, this soundtrack still slaps hard. Jeff Van Dyck is truly an unequivocal, invaluable asset to the Total war franchise.
@@Themeir Fortunately CA had the license until Warhammer 3 so that shit is over, but now that they licked the fruits of fantasy settings who knows if they'll stick to a new historical title or jump to another fantasy franchise...
@@Themeir If they bring what they've learnt from their time with warhammer to the next historical title it's gonna be their best historical game in a long time.
A Space Butterfly The title could be referring to another meaning of the word tabla. For instance, tabla also means drum, so the title could be "Crack your head with a drum" lol
I don't know if you've ever played Broken Crescent, but in my game as the Ayyubids (Egyptians) things went so out of hand with the Byzantines. Lets just say that they conquered everything between Constantinople and Baghdad. Not a single Jihad had succeeded against them and they were ready to move further into Persia. Then, I got involved, united the other factions against the Byzantines in a coalition and fought the most kickass war ever. I must say, I had a new respect for Byzantine Varangians.
al Mamlūk how did you stop mongol rape train in my game as eldeguzid dynasty (that little tribe thingy at azerbaijan) i conquered lands from baghdad to kaffa from trabizon to ray and isfahan i saw the mongol event and i was allied with khwarezm and they were nearly conquering all of modern day khazakistan and khorasan region then mongols came i thought khwarezm can easilt defeat them i leave asia alone for about 30 turn then one turn i saw a mongol army at my border and i wad like wtf the i send a spy to east to see what happened then i saw that Mongols were conquered all of asia and they were coming for me. İ was raped for 100 turns They had no money but they had a lot of armys eith really good units and most of my units nearly have no armor! İ leaves the game when they captured my capital tabriz which is at the time about 20000 person living and when they csptured they exterminated population and killed 10000 man İ was crying So how did you stop them?
His army beat mine. But I just managed to kill him right as Richard turned and ran, managing to survive as well. In my headcanon: Saladin was slain by Richard the Lionheart himself. As he scored the kill, he turned to his remaining Bodyguards and shouted "I got him! Let's get out of here!" And quickly linked up with his other fleeing men. *The following Evening* Richard's Templar Companion comes along and tells him: "Friendly reinforcements are going to be here tomorrow. And a lot of them." Richard then smiles. Egypt may have won this battle, but with the formidable opponent that was Saladin having been killed by Richard himself. The King of England knows that in the long run, the strategic advantage is clearly with him and his crusaders. "Next stop: Jerusalem." He says with a smile.
When you are playing medieval 2 crusader and you kill Richard the lionfart, and all his units begin to flee and you cut them down like there is no tomorrow
Ah, yes. In my mind, this music means Sipahi horse archers locked in a ranged duel with Mongol cavalry, while my Ottoman infantry, flanked by Hashshashin and spearmen, pelt the Horde's shooting circles with bowfire and hold the line against lancer charges, which are then swiftly countered by my own Sipahi lancers. Thousands of Mongol and Turkish corpses and hundreds of thousands of arrows litter the field, and I barely beat back the horde-for the time being.
0:00 mongols arrives with their epic ladders ( and rocket launchers) 0:14 "the enemy have break the walls!" -rocket launchers break walls- 0:15 they are so many!! rush to second defense line!!!! 0:30 on a suicide mission a good brave mamluks rout those nasty rocket launchers 0:42 they are aproching to second defense walls!! hurry up!! archers!! 1:10 the ladders!!!! Oh no!! 1:30 they rised their ladders and started to climb up 1:56 Mongol Soldier: "We are under attack!!" XD 2:05+ EPIC FIGHT & END
I have this song imprinted into my head after foolishly entering the Holy Land with the Stainless Steel mod. So many battles fought over nothing but rocks and sand :O But I won in the end... took its time though, sweet, sweet time.
Hey man, don’t wish to sound like “yo mf you don’t know shit” and all, but Khanzada is a title rather than a name, you know, Heir, Prince, Shahzade, Mirza, and Khanzada. Have a nice day. 👋🏻
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Jeff Van Dyck's work as the composer of these sountracks, ngl i may not like all of his works, but the soundtracks of these older Total War games go hard This, Duke of Death and Good Death are probably my favorite tracks
While the crusaders and muslims fight each other. The Byzantine Empire will sweep in and reclaim their rightful place as Emperors of the Mediterranean sea. Roma Invicta
Jethro23 Their real name is the Roman Empire. The “Byzantine Empire” is just a word made up by Renaissance Italians who refuse to believe that there was a Roman Empire that endured after 476 A.D
Oh that's interesting, I'd long thought 'Byzantine' was a nickname made up for the Eastern Romans by the so-called 'Holy' 'Roman' 'Empire' simply because they couldn't stomach neither being an empire in the Roman sense nor having no legitimacy to Rome at all unlike the ERE?
Man the greatest moment of Medieval 2 was when i destroyed the Holy Roman Empire as Byzantine. All those Europeans were fucking up with me, and oh boy did the Germans get angry when i got into Rome. Ahh the feeling. Oh, and conquering half of Europe as muslim Moors was exciting too :)
