How many of you actually yell/rawr/warcry/cheer/wtever when you play EB?
be it battles, charging inf, charging cav, attacking...etc.
=P i know i do that when i mix EB with vodka.
Oh yes. Mostly just talking to my pc, trying to inspire it to great deeds.
My parents have called the mental institute numerous times, but they figured it would only get really bad if I'd go out in the streets on horseback wearing a linothorax slaying random people, calling them filthy Getian barbaroi.
This space intentionally left blank.
I don't yell any warcries, but I do yell "Damnit!" and "You idiots!" quite a bit when trying to get my phalanxes to maneuver properly.
Yeah, I get frustrated and swear a bit too, but when I see those cowardly barbarians running before my proffesional soldiers, I grin and let out a whoop of triumph!

I yell at my guys all the time.
A ha ha! Rainbows and unicorns! Rainbows and unicorns!
I do have the habit of chanting "yesyesyesyesYESYESYESbYES!!!" while I charge my heaviest cavalry into a militia unit's back.
THE FOLLOWING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCE:
I often yell "WTF!?!? You fukcing Cokcsuckers! Who the Fukc told you to do that? Omg...fukcing useless motherfukcers!"
It gets bad sometimes..
Especially when my HA's for god knows why, decide to charge random spearmen while on skirmish mode
I'm generally calm, though there are exceptions.
I'll also steal your baloon again, satalexton. Learn to live with it.
Not really unless its obcenities when I'm mad (85% of the time).
When charging cavalry into enemy backs, I scream "Heil Hitler"!
Likstrandens ormar som spyr blod och etter, Ni som blint trampar Draugs harg
På knä I Eljudne mottag död mans dom, Mot död och helsvite, ert öde och pinoplats
So gaming without brains is possible??
Yes, i think people who yell out "heil hitler" are brainless![]()
I love the smell of bronze in the morning!
Campaigns completed: Vanilla Seleucid, EB 1.2. Carthaginian, RSII Pergamon
That is the biggest reason for me hitting the quit button in rage and deciding to do something useful with my life for the next hour or so... then I remember that I have a responsibility to crush those smug Ptolies into the ground that exceeds my responsibilities in 'real' life.
EDIT: I just remembered that apart from verbally abusing my fictional soldiers, I also break silence by trying to repeat their unit names and pretend I'm a member of the Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi answering to an omniscient god-general ordering me to charge the enemies flanks by clicking on me and my enemies - a position that I'm sure many of us would envy.
