Re: crappy battle speeches
As I've said before, I like the speeches feature - I can't ever skip one because I never know when I'm going to hear another great nugget - I had another fun one yesterday - the general finished up with something along the lines of: 'We have many pointy things, very pointy indeed!' I wish I could remember these things better - I'm too busy laughing to commit them to memory...
Re: crappy battle speeches
It's a massive shame that the non-Roman factions don't get very long or detailed speeches. Ah well, yet another reason to make my next campaign a Roman one.

Last night, cleaning out some rebels:
"There stand the rebel slaves. Notice the puke stains. Fear is not nice to look at, is it?"
(Not word for word, but that was the general idea.)
