Is this possible? My Ptolemaic faction now has Greek character portraits, names and unit voices, but I'm still getting the Eastern generals' speeches. Is there a file I can modify, or are pre-battle speeches hard-coded?

I think you can somehow unpak the sounds the generals use. Maybe you could tediously save all the greek speeches as the egyptian counterparts. However i then do not know how to get them to work in the game...

This is only a possibility, not 100% sure.

Have a look into the file export_descr_sounds_prebattle.txt

There you have several files assigned to different cultures. Perhaps by changing the assigned files to the egyptian culture from Arab_Generic_01.mp3 (etc) to Greek_Generic_01.mp3 (etc) you may change the speeches.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice.:2thumbsup: I'm in the middle of a campaign at the moment, but I'll try modding the appropriate files when I'm finished.

YAY! It worked!:2thumbsup: My prebattle speeches and battle voiceovers now have a greek accent. Time to start my first Ptolemaic campaign, methinks...
