One of my Venetian ones said something alone the lines of "Men, let's get this done quickly, I don't want to be at this all day. I have other things in mind for my evening : a bottle of wine and a wench, f'r'instance !"

an HRE one went all zealot/preacher on me : "I thought I had died, and went to hell for my sins, as I see nothing but the hideous grins of demons everywhere. Gott sei dank ! It's only the enemy !"

(sorry, playing the French version, so can't tell you what the exact words are)

Well, I had a female Pope...

https://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o208/antimatter3009/female_pope.jpg

Yep, my current pope is female, too. When he (er... she!) got the trait (he/she was my cardinal) I just couldn't stop laughing, it was so hilarious.

In RTW, there were many references to Monty Python's Life of Brian, such as in the Sewers description. Has anyone found any references to M.P. and the Holy Grail yet? :laugh4:

My faction Heir was classed as "completely insane" or somesuch... in the pre-battle speech he announced ;

"and as to my recent madness, I can assure you it was only a passing whim, ~I have talked it over with my horse, and he is of the opinion I have not been getting enough rest, after the battle I think I shall follow his advice..."

One of the Scottish armies responded like this when I clicked on them:

"I'm gonna rip off your head and spit down your neck."

A diplomat once responded like this:

"Doooooo youuuuuuu want to negooooooootiaaaate?"

In both instances, they died a horrible death by my hands. :grin:

To quote William the Conqueror - "And remember men, a book can be good the day before battle, exspecially if your bowels are loosened. I would not recomend (forgot the name, but it started with a t) for his books are not soft on the nether regions."

At least, thats what he told me when massacaring irish rebels in Dublin :sweatdrop:

11-27-2006, 09:39

When I fight against Milanese, my generals often say something like: "They say those Milanese are good accountants. This will help them, when they count their dead."

At another fight against Milanese troops my general yelled: "I want them dead, DEAD, DEEEEAAAAAAAAD, DEAD like a scot's soul". I'm playing the English as you might have guessed ;-).

My General Anthony the Mad (who unfortunately is my faction heir right now) said something similar to this: "If anyone of you has a black cat at hand, then slay it, so that it's bad luck cannot harm us."

You know I was sorta skipping them because when I started the game they just seemed like RTW and gave a brief rundown of troops.

After seeing this I started listening to my older general whop have a ton of traits.

Some really hilarious stuff, I cant even remember half of it.

Love the mean wife one, and how the french are lovers just ask any sheep, the drunk ones are good too. When you realize all the nations have their own accents and witty sayings it makes you realize that they poured alot into this..:)

I have no idea what trait brought this on, but recently one of my English generals gave his usual spiel and then topped it off with something along the lines of "The enemy would only stand a chance if my mother-in-law was with them... what if she is?!? If she is, we're all doomed!!!

This from a 7 star general with nearly max dread... :inquisitive:

"And, at the last-GOD'S NIPPLES! Who drank the rest of my ale?"

I got something like that from, I believe, dear Prince Henry in my HRE campaign (he has Social Drinker or something). I don't think I've ever laughed so hard...

Anyone else get some funny stuff from their general's speeches?
Ohh yes.... That one I'm still laughing at.
It just sounds so great with that German accent (though it is obviously not made by a German).

But it is really "And at the last I say to the enemy gen- GOD'S NIPPLES!!! Where is the ale? Is it all gone?"

The first time I got it I was caught between tearing my head off from laughter and trying to understand what was going on.

Another great one comes from the Trait "Bad Speaker". It doesn't do anything really, aside from producing a hilarious speech of the general trying to remember to say something really good but never managing anything to that sort.

My last great one I got from a general I thought was a really brave man. Apparently when he got the negative Trait about Venetians (they were camped far up a mountain with plenty pavise crossbows, impossible to beat, so I withdrew) he also produced a hilarious speech next time he met them.
Something like: "And since I have earned so much respect and honour I think it would be unfair for me to take it from you my brave men. Instead I take the inglorious task of protecting our supplytrain far from the battle. Rest assured that your rear will always be protected."
The greatness come from how valiantly he sacrifices his own chances of glory... and how "he bravely ran away" to quote a certain Monty Python movie.

The oneliners when the general can't be bothered with a real speech is almost always great. Superb insults most of the time.

I do however detect a little bit of a supressed giggle in the GOD'S NIPPLES speech. After he has said that his voice changes a bit for the next line before returning to normal in the last bit.

My diplomat met a Portuguese princess in my game as the Danes. She exclaimed when I finished negotiations that she is 'sometimes called the jewel of the mediterranian'. Which is odd, since 1st: Portugal doesn't have access to that sea (must be the generic accent thing), and 2nd: she had no hearts/charm at all! Which meant that (i dont recall exactly) it is hard to tell her apart from an ugly wrinkled wrench..

Glad your enjoying the speeches. I think I probably used up a year-and-a-half's worth of insults to co-workers writing some of them.

The quality of the voice acting this time around helped an enormous amount, I think, and I was quite impressed that they managed not to giggle. :laugh4:

After referring to the enemy as a collection of 'ar5e-weasels' and 'p1ss-a-beds', he then went on to explain how he'd 'seen more guts in a donkey's ar5e!'

Absolutely hilarious - I reloaded the battle just to hear him say it again.

https://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o208/antimatter3009/female_pope.jpg

Apropos of nothing (and not wanting to give any offence to anyone's faith)

There are numerous tales told about a female pope (a male impersonator), pope Joan is the most popular I believe. She gave birth to a son during her term in office and was tied to the tail of a horse and dragged around the papal city until she died as punishment for her heresy. There are numerous other tales told of female popes. You take your pick whether these are myths, half-truths or facts.

Interestingly part of the papal coronation until very recently involved the pope being seated in his papal chair (the throne with holes) and passed over the heads of the electoral cardinals. Some people say that this is so that they could attest that he was a man. Others that the papal seat was originally a Roman bidet (hence the holes).

Either way I think it's rather cool that we can have a secret female pope. Shame that these secrets / vices can't be used to bribe and co-erce the AI into acting in our favour.

Rilder: That screen shot alone is enough to convince me I need to turn on the text in my game.

I've enoyed the speeches so far too.

I played through a Spanish campaign and never had a general with 'poor speaker' so, mostly heard good stirring speeches. A lot of repetition but, good stuff anyway.

After winning that campaign to unlock the other factions, I started playing as the Scots and, I'm experiencing a bit of culture shock though. Most of the Spanish speechs had a bit of preamble, a midpoint and final statement.

So far every Scots speech has pretty much been: 'Alright lads, lets KILL EM ALL!!!!' >cheer<

Done.

I reckon they're men of few words, those Scots.

I guess i need to play as the french or english cause the HRE (so far) only give morale boosting speeches about glory for the empire and that kind of stuff.

But im wondering if anyone has seen different kind of speeches from kings and that kind of stuff?

I had an interesting speech from my Venetian heir before a battle. The man was clearly frustrated and use the term “Ass weasels” several times, then something about drinking from chamber pots. Finally at the end he said something…”Ass [pause]…” I swear, I thought he was going to use the F word, “Those ass *****” (turned out to be monkeys). I wish he would of, I would have giggle like a little school girl. I don’t remember what his virtues were, but he was clearly frustrated and didn’t like Sicilians :no: .

Has the English Voice Actor been changed for 1.2?

I only asked because I've never noticed before how down right nasty he sounds. In fact, the last English nobleman that landed in Northern Spain was so down right rude and snearing in his responses to my diplomats that it almost became a personal grudge to kill him. There seem to be two voice actors, one upper class type and this bloke who sounds like an egotistical thug.

Although the Scottish speeches are still the best in the game. Just one liners, but great....

The Scotts do have some great one-liners. Although my friend was slightly disappointed when I told him they only have one-liners, o well.

Tschüß!

When I fight against Milanese, my generals often say something like: "They say those Milanese are good accountants. This will help them, when they count their dead."."

With the Byzantium Empire the general said something like: 'it is a shame that such a rich nation can't afford fresh linen, I already smell them her' (in fact it was an better sentence but he was of course reference that the do it in their pants for the enemy)

danes have the same voice as russians I think, and that's just wrong :(

Ive had that too. :laugh4:

I know I have no idea Why the Danes sound Slavic. I would have taken the HRE accent for the danes before the russian!

apology ahead if someone mentioned this already.

not sure if anyone has this. I had a battle with the english commander, who is completely insane (foreign fruitcake, insane, and just about half the insane trait which i cant remember)

all i remembered is that he ordered "green fairies will lead the attack, and the pink angels follow" etc... weird. i had problem starting battle, on the accounts that i had fallen off my chair, which is due to me laughing too hard.

yeah, the green fairies were successful in their attack :-) and due for promotion. that is the reason why i start using men-in-green-tights (sherwood archers) :gathering:

i will put a spare commander into the city-of-sin and rebel/low piety regions again just to see if he would go nuts. or maybe i will cheat and just give him traits.

here it is.

now, i wish i have ANY elephants, even if it is a pink one.

and no, i didnt managed to get him insane. just that there was 3 egyptians assassins taking potshots with him for 6 turns that drove him mad. i didnt have proper assassins that could remove them for a while.

Err... look who's talking! If you can't tell the difference between a Russian/Eastern European accent and a Middle-Eastern accent, I don't think you are the right person to point finger. :rolleyes:

As Per Ole says, Denmark has same accent as Russians, and that is really a shame. There has been another (or possibly several other) thread on this before. As said then, given the current sortiment of accents in the game, it would have been much more appropriate to give danes same accent as HRE (as pointed out by Heraklios), which are linguistically closest to Denmark.
