Your battlecry

[satalexton]

What would you yell before you bolt head first into the mosh pit?

As for me..."SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!"

[tapanojum]

" IM ON YOUUUUR SIDEEEE!!!"

[Olimpian]

If it were Gaesatae I would be charging against, then "KILL ME, JUST DON'T @#$% ME!!!!!" would probably be it. If not, then something like "I'M CHUCK NORRIS!!!!":beam:

Seriously, "FOR GLORYYYYYYY!!!" or "FOR <insert god,general who pays you,nation>!!!" would be beffiting as my last words.

[Sarkiss]

made me wonder about why was a war cry removed?
looked as a reasonable and accurate feature that suits the barbarians...:surprised:

[Jolt]

Your second battlecry would incur in a plumetting of morale in the enemy, followed by immediate routing. Since they all know they can't defeat Chuck Norris.

EDIT: Mine would be "THIS...! IS...! ATHENS!!" :D

[J.Alco]

Mine would probably be the classic and very much used:

"AaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!"

(To get a correct idea of how it should sound, your voice has to go really high and shrill halfway through).

It's not very original, I know, but it's a time-honoured battlecry that has probably been yelled out by every good soldier on the planet on every side.

[Hax]

What do you mean charge.

I'm probably relaxing in a tent some few miles from the battlefield being fanned by a couple of ladies, while sipping a cool drink and listening to my strategos telling me the latest reports.

:yes:

"MORE WINE!!" to the ladies.
"KILL THEM ALL!" to my strategos.

[Ludens]

Barbarians? How about "Roma Victrix"? Hoplites singing paeans? Warcries were not limited to Barbarians, you know. I also find the way the feature was implemented a bit ridiculous.

[Maeran]

Warcries should just happen on their own when you give the order to charge.

That's how I'd have implemented it.

[ibleedgrenchese]

"in the name of your mmmmmmmooooooooooommmmmmm, get Pwned"

[Rhipsaspis]

I'd run full tilt towards the enemy and right as I get there stop suddenly with a terrified look on my face, point above and behind their lines and shout "Run away!!!". I think it'd work anyway... :laugh4:

[ezekiel2517]

" IM ON YOUUUUR SIDEEEE!!!"

and the winner is :2thumbsup:

:balloon2:

[Havok.]

RAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOO!



:horn::viking::knight::charge::duel:

[king hannibal]

I going to F^%$ YOU!!! works now a days to :yes:

[Hooahguy]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tyrfingr]

I don't know if this is related, but in EB and for some strange reason, I usually shouts "HEIL HITLER" when using cavalry to charge someone in the back. I do not in any way support nazi ideology, and I can't stress that enough, but for some reason, there's is something strangely forbidden of charging someone from behind with cavalry...it's almost erotic...and I guess that's where my battlecry comes in, because it's taboo even to mention Hitler's name.

Do I need help?

[Sarcasm]

Yes.

[satalexton]

hmmm...now to think of it, grabbin' a set of bunny suit, arm myself with a plunger and scream DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH pelting @ the enemy works too.....

....or am i turning psycho?

[Justinian II]

What would you yell before you bolt head first into the mosh pit?

As for me..."SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!"

FOR NARNIA!

No, just kidding here.

Being an Orthodox Byzantinist fanboy, I'd probably go with one of their traditional battlecries. Failing that, RABO sounds pretty good too.

[Tartaros]

MIAOU!!!

IMHO
Best warcry - ever!!

[mlc82]

BOZ BOZ BOZ!!!!

Do I need help?

yes. you do. very badly, IMO

[tapanojum]

"My life for Aiur!"

"alalalalal la bomba!"

"NI!! NI !! NI !!! NI!!"

I'd probably just end up beat boxing during the charge and move with such grace to the rhythm that the enemies would just give up. Declare myself god of music, and that should shatter their morale

[ezekiel2517]

get to the chopper!!

few will get it :dizzy2:

[fenix3279]

Probably something like, "WE'RE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Cadwalader]

"KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE"
"Santiago!"
"Uuuurrrraaaah!"
"Ut ut ut!"
"Godamite!"

The list of plausible warcries is endless. I guess I'd shot "Ura!" or "Alu". I'm not sure, but I think Alu was a battlecry amongst the Germanic tribes. At least a guy on the "Reginheim" (informative geocities website on everything Germanic) presented the theory. Interestingly, I later found out that "Alu" can mean noise in dialectal Norwegian.

[Rilder]

"nooooo! I forgot my arrrmooooooorrr!!!!!!!"

"Wait, I thought this was the line for the snack wagon!"

"Oh my gods, its a Gaul!, Get in the Wagon!"

[DeathEmperor]

get to the chopper!!

few will get it :dizzy2:

Mine is "COOOOOOONTAAAAAAACT!!!!" :laugh4:

[Jolt]

get to the chopper!!

few will get it :dizzy2:

Hahaha. Nice one. The routing phrase would be: "C'mon get out, it's going to blow!" Or translated into phonetics "Camon, ge daud its going to blau!" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNE1_1Bzhzw)

[tapanojum]

"Evvvryboddy get Dowwwwwn!!"

[satalexton]

WAAAGH!!! DA ORKZ!!! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cyclops]

Assuming the "mosh pit" mentioned in the OP is in fact the rear of the enemy line in EB 1.1, I guess I growl gutterally sometimes.

If we're talking a real mosh pit, well I'm a bit old for slam-dancing or whatever its called these days so I'd probably be shouting "WHERE'S THE EXIT SONNY?"

Perhaps I should use faction specific battlecries: How about "Dulce et decorum est oi watch you pilum mate pro patria yes you behind me mori" for the Romani. I guess my growl will do for the Lussotannan campaign I'm in ATM.


get to the chopper!!

few will get it :dizzy2:


Strap this on your sore ass, Blaine!

If it bleeds....

I ain't got time to bleed

Anytime!

There's something out there, and it ain't no man [pause] We're all gonna die

I'm gonna cut your name into it.

Strap this on your sore ass, Blaine!

Oh Arnie movies, sweet source of so much high grade material. Actualy is Blaine really a pants-wearing Gesaetae, chewing his ancient Celtic drug?

[grendelfreak]

THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!111!


Someone had to do it.

[||Lz3||]

as a Gesaetae...

I WANT MY PANTS!!! :furious2:

or... perhaps "wololo" :smash:

[Megas Methuselah]

Being of noble blood, I'd shout out my surname as a battlecry to give all those dirty little Gallic peasants the honour of knowing who's taking their women!
:clown:

EDIT: "Rogin?" would be quite fine, too.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Haha
Reference to "The Tick" in the opening post...?

[satalexton]

heh, that means ur from the same age range as me then =P

[Maion Maroneios]

Mine would be the typical greek AERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[Hax]

Should I charge in the first place, it would probably be something like this.

'Y'know, I don't really want to fight..can't we just talk this over?'

[king hannibal]

I got a good one I would get in to line with prostertust and cry to show them how deeply they have hurt me then on the next day I would sing to them and they would fall into my bosom

NERO :laugh4:




or if I was the wild men of germany I would run to the enemy then a meter from them I would go boho and run away





or if I was on any elephant I would just laugh as I shore men flying though the air guy looks like he's laughing ho ho ho :P

https://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i281/kinghannibal/menfly.jpg

[Tartaros]

"Ura!" or "Alu". I'm not sure, but I think Alu was a battlecry amongst the Germanic tribes.

oh yeah man, that "ancient" eastgerman, hehe Aaluuuhhh!!

Uuuuhhraaahh = ostdeutsch für "Uhr" (oestgerman for clock)
Aaaahhluuuhh = ostdeutsch für Aluminium (eastgerman for aluminium)

Do I need help?

I was with you until you mentioned the word erotic. You really Really REALLY need help. The men in white coats are on their way. :D

[satalexton]

@hannibal: fine i'll be specific, "what is your choice of battle cry as an footman?"

so no elephants or chariots D=

...maybe ponies are allowed, my cousin likes ponies....

[Megas Methuselah]

Reference to "The Tick" in the opening post...?

:yes:

[king hannibal]

o fine I'll have neros

I got a good one I would get in to line with prostertust and cry to show the enemy how deeply they have hurt me then on the next day I would sing to them and they would fall into my bosom :P

NERO

if I cann't have that one I'll go with the wildmen

if I was the wild men of germany I would charge toward the enemy then a meter from them I would go boho and run away confusing and enemy :dizzy2: and charge again (surpise and routing them) :P

[Che Roriniho]

I would think something like: "Hi, would you like to talk about GOD?", then laugh as they run away screaming. (The poor polytheist scamps, but hey, at least this rediculous construct of Religion is useful for something)
Also, random things like: 'Hey Fred, long time no seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'

The list is truly endless.

Being serious, I would go for ¡VENCEREMOS! - 'We will win' in Latin American Spanish (not sure about Spanish spanish)

[Poulp']

I'll sound quite conventional, mine is "Fortuna!!"

I wish I could turn Karl Orff's aria into .dat format and have it play when you click start battle.

Why Fortuna ? Easy, my motto is "Lady Fortuna is an unfaithful whore" and if we take a look a the average ratio of win/lost battle in RTW/EB, we can also conclude that most generals and captains are peerless lovers. Admirals seems to be the exception... no women on board, maybe that's the answer.

I would really Really REALLY want Carmina Burana - O Fortuna as the battle start theme. Is this possible anyone? we can use it, as it was written more than 70 years ago, so no copywrite. .dat files always mystify me, as fo some reason my computer thinks that they can be played on Windows Media Player. Double-you. Tee. Eff.


Also, I've just nicked your motto. I'll try putting it into Latin. Actually, I might put that in tn my EB quotes thing.

Edit: Regina Fortuna Scortum non Fidelem Est (I think. not sure about the adjective. Also, I think it would sound better with meretrix, as opposed to scortum for 'whore', but I don't know what the ending for that is in the Accusative (It might be -icis in the Nominative, but I've only be learning latin for about, oooh, 2 hours lol, so I'm unsure as to where that leaves us re Accusative.))

[The Celtic Viking]

I think I'd go with "HAKKA PÄLLE!!!!" - even though that was really used by cavalry, not infantry. It means "hack on".

[Rilder]

"THIS IS SPAR*sound of gurgling sounds as I'm shot in the back by friendly archers* "

Since I'm mumbling that phrase to myself in french, I'll believe you about the latin translation.

About copyright, sure, composers don't get a share anymore after 70 or 75 years. However, the issue of interpreters still remains. My version of Carmina Burana for instance, was recorded by the Red Army Choir in the 90s. That interpretation would be free of right by 2060 at best...

A solution be would be to find yourself an electronic composer to artificially recreate the aria for you using samples (and assuming he acquired those sounds samples legally, sounds samples are copyrighted too).

That's the legal situation according to what I gathered talking to a friend who's a composer.

[Spartan198]

Remember the Alamo!!!!!
Erm, wrong time period, sorry. :embarrassed:

Hmm, I don't really have a battlecry...

[Celtic_Punk]

id have to agree with whoever said "AAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

or ummmm "ILL SEE YOU IN HELL!" orrrrrrrrr "FOR 'insert massacre commited by the fools whom i am killing'!!!!!!!!!"

or my personal favourite-

"FOR SAUSAGES!!!!!"

[Dumbass]

I wouldn't have a warcry, I would just advise the general that "They are running like frightened sheep! Sheep are good for eating!".

you've got to love vanilla barbarians, apparently they were cannibals :laugh4:

I think they had him as a sort of stress relieving tool, so when the battles going well, you can thump him in Triumph, and if it's going badly, just throttle the sod. Plus, it's good Pilum drill for the men.

[satalexton]

Kill the Mutant,Purge the Xenos, Burn the Heretic!!!!

=P I'm sure some of you would get it.

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

I would either go with "I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE SHOUTING ABOUT", "LOOUUUUUUD NOOOISES" or if I actually had to intimidate the enemy, "IT IS MY DUTY TO INFORM YOU THAT IN THE CASE OF CONTACT BEING MADE, YOU MAY HAVE LIMBS REMOVED, OR INTERNAL ORGANS CUT/STABBED OR STICKING TO MY SWORD. IF YOU DO NOT WISH THIS TO OCCUR, PLEASE RUN AWAY; OR STAB ME WHILST TELLING YOU TO STAB...*SLICE AND THUD*...me. Thank you for listening"
