To me, this is a funeral.
A massive funeral at the end of a victorious war.
Where you, the ruler, pay tribute to all your fallen soldiers.
Sombre but dignified - as a monarch must be, even as he wonders if it was worth it.

And when you hear this on the main menu?
Those soldiers are no longer marching to war, they're marching to the afterlife...

That's all very compelling. 💯

Personally, every time 2:29 hits all I can picture is one scene, after a major battle, taking place on a hill at dusk in which a warrior is gazing at the sunset whilst on his knees and bleeding. Surrounding the darkness around him lie the bodies of friends and foes... and all he feels is pain, cold, and profound sadness knowing that Death is coming for him too...

Either way, I love this part of the soundtrack. Upon reading your interpretation I've been moved as well. Cheers!

Yeah I don't mind them trying new things but the campaign was significantly watered down in Rome 2. Attila was a step in the right direction and TW Warhammer also has some interesting stuff given the vast difference between races.

Given what CA pulled with Rome Remastered, the 'update' to Shogun 2 that REMOVED features, the fact that they pretty much gave up on three kingdoms (the game) to make smaller games with the same name instead of supporting the base game and many other things.
I think I'll never ask CA for anything as they'll most likely end up making something worse whatever they do.
