The enemy leader was a fool! He sacrificed himself instead of leading his men to a dignified defeat.
Carthage/Numidian line
I once had a Roman Genr'l, who was once a Gaul, who I bribed. Every battle he went into, he would say something along the lines of (not exactly): "Ahh..What a sad day. I know you guys think that battle is bad. I would've stayed home, but my mother told me to come."
He didn't say that the last battle he led. He said a regular speech alogn the lines of "Have courage, for they may outnumber you, but our skill is unmatched!" He then died.
Was he killed by Gauls ~DQuote:

Anyways it's lovely as Roman and fighting along side your barbarian allies/protectorate.
Gaul (my julii protectorate) besieged by Britons
Today we are here to save a city. We also have an ally coming to join us, true to thier word those honourable Gauls have come to aid us.
Funny how those foul hairy chested barbarians ar NOW AN HONOURABL ally.
Wonder what kind of lovely speeches you will get when you fighting along side other barbarian allies ..... as those civilised (cough cough cough) Romans.
there stand the gauls! they are hairy beyond reason!
Non-general unit as commander over a small band of Carthagininan long-shield cavalry: "Attack!" I actually waited some 10sec. to see if he just paused but noooo.
"Kill the enemy! I yearn to wade through their entrails! It's a nasty hobby, I'll admit..."
"Now, lads, time for business. Stick together, and try not to get killed!"
Both from Roman captains. ~D
"The Gods are with us, we can´t loose! I have it
from the best of authorities.... my authority!"
i have heard a funny ass speach thats something along the lines of;
there stands our fair city, besieged by barbarians, come, let us liberate it and recieve our reward from the beautiful women within.
Spain would be considered a barb faction?Quote:

The best thing I had was a Crazy Roman General that my Germanians bribed:
They are strong with their magic hats, but they had no honey for 2 years because I eat all of thier bees!
Propably a good thing that my Germans did nto understand what he was saying:P
"A battle is not easy! What´s hard though is to see the look on your womans face when you´re a weakling"; German general.
"Ride me sideways and whip me a winkle fork, lads! There's a lot of the bastards, isn't there?" - or something very similar! ~D
Was he a hobbit?Quote:

Is it only the Romans with battle-specific lines? I've played as a number of factions in campagin mode, but only the Romans would come up with lines referring to a particular enemy or tactical situation. Or character traits, for that matter.
I can't remember it exactly, but it goes something like this:
"Now, you know, I didn't really want to be here, but my mother says that I should always make a go of it, so here we go...
There stands the enemy cowards! etc." ~:)
I had a General who hooted like an Owl, his last shot before the battle was:
"....and remember, the Owls are with us! We cannot lose!"
I nearly fell off my chair.
are you serious or did you make that one up? man that's a real gem.Quote:

Playing the barb factions is quite fun since the general always says "gut them like a fish", "let them stew in their own fear", "crack their skulls open" etc etc. It´s a pity though that its only the romans that have faction specific speaches although the Punies refer to the roman eagle as a turky (or something) when they flee, and the Greeks are revengeful to point out that the only one who mourn a fallen general is his young lover since the Romans always call the Greeks "masters of... perversity". Think how great it would have been if the devs had put the same amount of effort into all the facs!?
Perhaps they`ve done that in BI? One can always hope, as the romans aren`t the most important factions anymore, who would then be?(they can`t have the same speeches for all the barbarians, can they)
"The Enemy Warlord is dead now he can drink with his ancestors and watch his warriors flee"
Gauls.
Yeah, that moon people one was funny as hell.
I thought this one was funny too:
"There's enough wine in camp to float a boat, and its all yours if you win this battle today. Oh, and the camp women will be appropriately....appreciative as well. And the first man to the enemy gets a jug of my finest wine!"
needless to say my general was a 10 star dead drunk. ~:cheers:
Punies vs. Eggies:
"The enemy king flees.... probably back to his palaces and prostitutes"
"The enemy king is dead.... charge over his corpse and drive his warriors before you"
The enemy king is fleeing ransack his palace and kill his horse...then he'll cry and pay you to vomit his beloved horse whuahahahahhahahahahahahaahhahaha
I was surprised to hear a General warn his troops ...
"This time ...no skipping with the entrails!" ~:eek:
