Good day fellow EB-fans!
As we all appreciate, the EB units call their names in their native tongues, when selected. As I hve played some different factions by now I have some unit sounds I prefer over others.
In general I can say that I prefere the Barbarian voicemod. Such a deep voice, so much fierce anger in it!
Buti n particular there is one unit sounding much more intimidating than all the others.
DUBOSAVERLACICA!!!
I really like the Iberian voices. They remind me of my cat... No really, they are great. The Persian stuff also sounds great, and the unit names of the Germanic units. Though perhaps the best one is when you select several Roman units: TRIBUNE??!!!
Iberians always say smth like "Luda", that sounds just like one Russian women name. Lol.
I hate the carthagenian voices. I mean they are fantastic, but they have this one strange call: abIIIIIrrrrrrrrrrruuuuu or so.^^ Every single unit seems to use it^^
I love the Celtic units!
Especially Gaeroas and Minaht
I walk around saying ymuno! ysra! And I get funny looks haha!
CHAEONION A-GE-MA :2thumbsup:
I like the Celtic voices too, especially Appea Guy-DOO-tos!
I think the Iranian units sound best, though unlike the Germanic and Greek ones, I can't understand any of it.
I also like the Duguntiz because a very obvious cognate of the dug- part in their name exists in my language.
i forgot what unit, but the guy says sweee magio
BOZ BOZ BOZ!!! (read quickly) and these BOZ! BOZ! BOZ! (read slowly) Just magnificent...
Also mob cry "oi! oi! oi!" pretty funny, like they are street punks or trads lol
All I have to say is:
"WOLOLOO"
That's a command of the Iberian/Hibernian units, meaning "run" or something in the like.Quote:

Well as a sweboz hardcore player, my favourite call is of course:
FUGITE! :whip:
OONT OONT OONT .. not sure how you spell it
I like the Tejanos that yell "Somos paisanos" when an enemy unit gets close.
Romans. Definitely.
i would have to say "Guy sach tae","Ambakaro" and "Clona Tekona" are my favourites
"Romani exseete" is pretty nice too.
BARBAROI IENTE!!!!!
(why the greek strategos call his own men Barbaroi?)
These are really great!Quote:

i like the "hellenikoi kataphraktoi", especially when shouted by several units of baktrian hetairoi katas. the "aamino, hasrah!" (or whatever it is) spoken by the celts is kinda cool too.
THooo RAkkk ITTT AAAiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!
:2thumbsup:
Always the best in civilized lands!
WARRRGGGOZZEZZZ!!!!!!!!
:jumping::viking::boxing::bounce:
The BEST of ALL!!!!!
RAABOOO!
There is one, I alway understand:
HUM NOO HEM NUM NEOM!
WARGOZEZ! IS definetly the best of Sweboz, but I still THINK DUBOSAVERLACICA! is more threatening. If you've never heard it, check it out in the sound folder...
Chaonion AAH-GEEE-MAA!! :2thumbsup:
The eastern units sometimes say dousgordaan (something like that), but in dutch it really sounds like douchegordijn, which in english means showercurtain.~D
~Fluvius
SpA-Ti-Ahh-Tai (H)OP-Li-Tai!!!
Two units I use almost in every campaign. Units that make my treasury empty and make me bang my head against the wall...
But I like them and their voices:bow:
Mistrophoroi Phalangitai
Mistrophoroi Kretikoi
(spl?)
Mistrophoroi Phalangitai? What faction do you play as?Quote:

RUMBA RUM is funny. I think Celtic guys say it when you tell them to go to the walls with rams.
It means "Barbarians are coming".Quote:
BARBAROI IENTE!!!!!
(why the greek strategos call his own men Barbaroi?)
My favourite is the phrase "zebayeh-gan BASHTANII!!!"
What is this, an Eastern thing?
Shipri Tukul Pezoi!, is my favourite.
These two are very cool:
Mistophoroi Thureophoroi
and
Mistophoroi Thraikioi Peltastai
Agreed! I love how it sort of rhymes, I find myself saying it sometimes just because it's fun to say. But good luck explaining to anyone what you are talking about if they hear you...Quote:

as for Carthaginian voices (especially when you order them to run, or when you rally troops with your sacred band bodyguard unit): i don't know about others, but to me they sound like some people drunk as hell: i can almost smell the smell of whiskey from their breath. Anyway i just love them: my drunken butchers they are :laugh4:
and those Roman Velites: they voice reminds me of some guy from high society when he ask his girl for a dance: especially that "s" at the end, sounds so "lordly" to me :laugh4:

Ha, sometimes you can find me walking around town late at night, mumbling "Xerubrukonez" or "Jugundiz Xathjiska" under my breath.Quote:

Triarii in EB is much calmer and in cold expression.... (Triarii) is what they only say... Dubosaverlakika say (DUBOO SavERR LAkiKAAA!!!) which was more louder... they are certainly shout!
Ligurian Infantry sounds cool.
Peltastai too.
NIZAGON-E ERANSHAR! :2thumbsup:
Which are these?
IMO Whoever voices the Iranian units is very talented, as a whole they are very well done.Quote:

But yes, the Persian units were done extraordinarily well.
Yes, TPC did them I believe.
Why not voice it out loud?!? :laugh4:Quote:

Alright, he was the mastermind behind it. I must have misread one of his earlier posts.
Hi, in my opinion the following units just sound great:
Spartiatai Hoplitai
Somatophylakes Strategou
Hetairoi
Samnitii
Appea Gaedotos
Cwmyr
and many more *g* It's a pity that the punic units don't say their names :/
