Quote List

[Mauler]

Hey guys,
I did a couple searches but couldn't find a list of quotes from the loading screens anywhere on the site.

There were a few I really liked that I wanted to use in a project. Unfortunately, I am at work and do not have access to the game or game files, where I assume I could probably look to find a complete list.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place on the site where I could find a list of the quotes.
Thanks...

I don't think anyone has actually extracted those and did a list yet. I guess the best place to look would be in Machiavelli's The Prince: http://www.constitution.org/mac/prince00.htm

In my copy of the book, I have a bookmark in Chapter 17, where he discusses whether it is better for the ruler to be feared or loved.

i have had to read that splendid book 3 times now... I love it, I can apply his ways and theories in pretty much everything I do. if you havent read it, please, pick one up, it is a great book.


lol, but seeing his quotes ALL the time gets annoying in-game...

I would have liked to see some funny ones, or some REALLY good historical quotes... :wall:

Bah. Machiavelli was an idiot. Didn't see the big picture (or rather, purposefully let it aside in his brown-nosing-the-prince book) :laugh4:

Anyway, the quotes are all in the (unpacked) data\text\quotes.txt.string.bin file. It's formatted a bit strangely though, you'll need alpaca's string.bin converter (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=75229) (or notepad will do, but there'll be spaces between each letter)

Hi, there isn't a directory called text under data. Or is this referring to a large cab file or some such?

Thanks.

There is one, if you extract your files using the unpacker provided by CA in patchs 1.1 and 1.2

Just run the Medieval/tools/unpacker/unpack_all.bat batch file and you'll get the /text folder but be carefull, the unpacked files take up a LOT of disk space (something like 8-9 Gos). You could also extract only the /data/text folder, but you'd have to know which packed file it's in, as well as the unpacker command line syntax. I don't know either of those :]
