Pre-Battle speeches, any news?

[Horatius]

Is there any News on the pre-battle speeches of MTW 2 yet?

I thought they were a great advantage of RTW over MTW and hope that each faction has it's own unique pre-battle speeches with the correct accent (i.e English with English accent, Scots with Scottish Accent), any news on if there will be the speeches?

I just thought it was funny "The first man to the enemy will be my sister.

[Tamur]

I sure hope so. I got nearly endless amusement out of the wild combinations that would come up. "The Moon People may be on their side, but we have very nice hats! Now, to victory!"

[TB666]

Yes they are in.
In one of the videos you can see it(you didn't get to hear it tho)
Trying to find the video now.

Edit: found it

Yup, Capt Fishpants did them for us again, and very amusing they are too... would love to share some but will keep them a surprise for you...

Great. They were rather hilarious, 'specially the ones from generals with madness traits. :laugh4:

Do they tie in at all with what is happening in the campaign? As in you've just had a city get slaughtered, and your army is trying to gain vengeance--does the general mention anything like that?

Thanks pras.

Good news. The R:TW ones were quite well done, and sometimes hilarious. Will all factions get a full complement of speeches this time, or is that just for the western European ones?

[Myrddraal]

Did Capt Fishpants write them or do the voice acting or both?

Whatever the case, they were good fun. :smile:

[AussieGiant]

Thanks for dropping that in there Pras.

And additional thanks to both you an CaptnFish for continuing to stick your hands in the blender by posting on the forum.

I certainly appreciate it.

Glad you enjoyed them.

I wrote the speech chunks that get stuck together to make the generals' pre-battle speeches about six months ago. There are about 4500 remarks in M2TW, allowing for variants by accent and so forth. I may have put a few jokes in there. Who can say?

But believe me, you didn't want me doing the voice acting work as well. At the time they were recorded I had a cold and sounded like a grumpy Yorkshire Darth Vader. :laugh4:

If Fishpants does the voice acting, then I'm going to take my muscular pills, because my abdomen is going to suffer from all that laughing. :laugh4:

Yer old man, eh? ~D

[TB666]

Half of the remarks are Monty Python references aren't they ??:inquisitive:
Admit it.

How many remarks were there in RTW ??

[edyzmedieval]

Fishy might be a circus clown, who knows..

We don't have the confirmation 101% that he is a CA member. ~D

can we see a preview of some funny speches?
i would also like to see some serious Muslim speaches as well.

Lets hope they've given the over-excited helium voiced school-boy voice 'talent' of the last game a wide berth. I've never been so embarassed playing a game in front of other people as when the 'Greek' chap proudly shrieked how I'd won a great victory or some other nonsense. Not even being caught playing some Barbie Show Jumping game could cause such embarassment, well unless I was wearing a riding helmet at the same time perhaps.

I'm sure the general speeches will be of a good standard though. I assume several factions will share the same speeches as I can't imagine they'll be 20 or so unique and highly detailed sets of speeches.

i loved the Greek one actually.....................................................
the Roman... meh.
