:clown: How many of you actually yell/rawr/warcry/cheer/wtever when you play EB?
be it battles, charging inf, charging cav, attacking...etc.
=P i know i do that when i mix EB with vodka.
Oh yes. Mostly just talking to my pc, trying to inspire it to great deeds.
My parents have called the mental institute numerous times, but they figured it would only get really bad if I'd go out in the streets on horseback wearing a linothorax slaying random people, calling them filthy Getian barbaroi.

I don't yell any warcries, but I do yell "Damnit!" and "You idiots!" quite a bit when trying to get my phalanxes to maneuver properly.

Yeah, I get frustrated and swear a bit too, but when I see those cowardly barbarians running before my proffesional soldiers, I grin and let out a whoop of triumph!
:yes:
I yell at my guys all the time.
I do have the habit of chanting "yesyesyesyesYESYESYESbYES!!!" while I charge my heaviest cavalry into a militia unit's back.

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCE:
I often yell "WTF!?!? You fukcing Cokcsuckers! Who the Fukc told you to do that? Omg...fukcing useless motherfukcers!"
It gets bad sometimes..:idea2:
Especially when my HA's for god knows why, decide to charge random spearmen while on skirmish mode

I once contemplated shooting my computer when it would not load EB. Purely to put it out of its misery, you see.
Hey, it's my computer, my house, my property, and a free country. I can do what I want.
As for verbal irrationalities, I only occasionally swear after CTD's and the such.

When you attack a settlement/stack: "TO ARMS!!!"
When you start the battle: "FOR HONOR!"
When the battle turns to your favor: "feh, now this is my catch"
When you order the glory charge/cavalry charge: "WAAAGHHH!!!/FOR <insert faction>!!!"
When you chase the routers: "KILL MAIM BURN!!! KILL MAIM BURN!!!"
When you get a heroric victory at the end of battle: "VICTORY!!!"
When you CTD after the battle: "@#$%^&^%$#@#$%^&............"

Damnit. That was originally my balloon...
Anyways, if a battle doesn't go my way, yeah, I can get pissed off pretty bad at my defeated troops:
"I can't f-ing believe those stupid sons of b****es. F-ing ***holes. Go rot in prison and burn in h***!"
:embarassed:
Losing a battle in EB is one of the few things that piss me off in life. And it happens now and then, too. It really sobers me and and slaps me in the face, along with the phrase: You're a mortal. Act like it.
I sometimes tell my men to stop acting like idiots and do what I tell them to.
And I also tell the enemy that they are idiots and really shouldn't be milling about like that.
They never listen. :no:

You actually lose battles? Pathetic mortal. :clown:
whenever I'm bout to start a battle I say...
"let's do this...shall we"
and IF i loose I say
"blody hell we just got our asses kicked..."
can somebody tell where did they come from :p

I know what you mean. Especailly when they stand side on to some cheap levy and get butchered, and just ignore you.
Not really unless its obcenities when I'm mad (85% of the time).

When charging cavalry into enemy backs, I scream "Heil Hitler"!

Yes, i think people who yell out "heil hitler" are brainless :thumbsdown:

Sometimes.... when my computer gives in after one great battle, or worse: a series of great battles.

Seconded!
There are some efficient expressions in Bavarian to motivate ze zoldiers! Something like "Free beer for the first man on the town square!"
I only get/got honestly angry as soon as one of my 50 reinstalls CTDed at the exact moment after choosing a faction.....

Yeah well, I do sometimes. Mostly when I get a ctd after a great battle, or when my soldiers disobey me and get slaughtered afterwards, or when I charge with my cavalry. I really never expacted that so many out there do the same as me, like talking to their pc or yelling/shouting/swearing :laugh4:

I tend to give short grunts or barks of displeasure, punctuated by the odd "HA!" or "Huzzah!" when I'm winning. Other than that, I just fart.
It's possible to fart emotively?

COD4 is where it comes from. Addicting game, that. I play it often (not as often as EB....).
Yeah, I generally yell "WTF?!?!" a bunch, either at my pc, or at my own men or the enemies quite often for one or the other's stupidity.

Is that a euphamism? How about I charge my heaviest cavalry into your militia unnit's MUM'S back? Eh? Eh? Neeeeaaaaaah....

I'm generally calm, though there are exceptions.
I'll also steal your baloon again, satalexton. Learn to live with it.

What a shame, it seems you don't get into the game much... Or is EB notgood enough for you? EH?:laugh4:
(just kidding)
P.S.: Welcome to the forum!

No euphemisms, I just love the chaos and mass carnage that such a charge entails. Though, perhaps a little too much...:sweatdrop:
I usually just play the recordings from EB greek for "lance the barbarians!!"
I like to say "filthy barbarians...." too

LOL!!!!!!!
Fellas I am not joking when I say this, but after Halloween 07 when I had my costume laying around I would dress up to play my "Great Gallic Campain". Sometimes that only meant shield and sword. :yes:
I know.....
Ok now I don't really yell the last time I actually made a sound loud enough to be heard was when I did a stupid manouver on the strategy map. I hit "retreat" and my entire army all of the sudden dies because it cannot retreat anywhere.
-my responce: "F****ing S****, WTF, Oh S**** Oh S****, AUTO SAVE PLZ save me." then after Auto save its just the same I say "F***!.... ok ok chill, I'll be back, I'll be back"
When I play MP is when I get the most tense, but I don't yell. I talk to myself or mumble a few things.

I always spare a few of their men, then yell triumphantly 'Now tell your masters, Commander Che Roriniho wishes to make their wives my concubines, or other such rousing speeches.
Or I sometimes say 'I don't like this game...' when they rout one or more of my units. (2 Balloons to the person who can tell me where that's from.)
I don't yell any warcries, but I do yell "Damnit!" and "You idiots!" quite a bit when trying to get my phalanxes to maneuver properly.
:furious3:
That is the biggest reason for me hitting the quit button in rage and deciding to do something useful with my life for the next hour or so... then I remember that I have a responsibility to crush those smug Ptolies into the ground that exceeds my responsibilities in 'real' life.
EDIT: I just remembered that apart from verbally abusing my fictional soldiers, I also break silence by trying to repeat their unit names and pretend I'm a member of the Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi answering to an omniscient god-general ordering me to charge the enemies flanks by clicking on me and my enemies - a position that I'm sure many of us would envy.

I usually sing the refrain of 'Break, damn you! Break!' and 'Oh gods, what the f*** are you idiot phalanxes DOING!?!' and a quietly triumphant 'Thus it ends.' after the charge that starts off the chain rout.

From time to time, usually during a big battle or siege. However, if EB gets a ctd right after I win an epic hour long siege I get so angry that I storm away from my pc and switch on the ps3 to go on rampages in GTA4 :laugh4:
Martelus Flavius
08-16-2008, 17:07
Well I usually use to speak to my pc... (quoique... :clown:)
Saying thinks like : "INFESTIS PILIS!!!"
followed by : "PILA MITERE!"
Finished by : "Yaaaahahaharrrrglglrrrargggklouiicc!"
And sometimes when a Runner comes by, remembering me the existence of those abject Equites, I say something like "SIGNA IN HOSTEM!"
Oh! And and above all I use as a motivation for my guys : "An entire day in my wine cellar to the one who will slaughter the enemy general!!!"
Ave! Atque valete!
