I usually just play the recordings from EB greek for "lance the barbarians!!"
I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.

Fellas I am not joking when I say this, but after Halloween 07 when I had my costume laying around I would dress up to play my "Great Gallic Campain". Sometimes that only meant shield and sword.
I know.....
Ok now I don't really yell the last time I actually made a sound loud enough to be heard was when I did a stupid manouver on the strategy map. I hit "retreat" and my entire army all of the sudden dies because it cannot retreat anywhere.
-my responce: "F****ing S****, WTF, Oh S**** Oh S****, AUTO SAVE PLZ save me." then after Auto save its just the same I say "F***!.... ok ok chill, I'll be back, I'll be back"
When I play MP is when I get the most tense, but I don't yell. I talk to myself or mumble a few things.
I always spare a few of their men, then yell triumphantly 'Now tell your masters, Commander Che Roriniho wishes to make their wives my concubines, or other such rousing speeches.
Or I sometimes say 'I don't like this game...' when they rout one or more of my units. (2 Balloons to the person who can tell me where that's from.)
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.

Pant-oh-dap-oi Phal-an-GI-TAI!
I usually sing the refrain of 'Break, damn you! Break!' and 'Oh gods, what the f*** are you idiot phalanxes DOING!?!' and a quietly triumphant 'Thus it ends.' after the charge that starts off the chain rout.
EB DEVOTEE SINCE 2004
From time to time, usually during a big battle or siege. However, if EB gets a ctd right after I win an epic hour long siege I get so angry that I storm away from my pc and switch on the ps3 to go on rampages in GTA4![]()
"I fought with all that I had, but at the end I was left wounded, bloodied, and broken and asking myself, "Why?"."
Well I usually use to speak to my pc... (quoique...)
Saying thinks like : "INFESTIS PILIS!!!"
followed by : "PILA MITERE!"
Finished by : "Yaaaahahaharrrrglglrrrargggklouiicc!"
And sometimes when a Runner comes by, remembering me the existence of those abject Equites, I say something like "SIGNA IN HOSTEM!"
Oh! And and above all I use as a motivation for my guys : "An entire day in my wine cellar to the one who will slaughter the enemy general!!!"
Ave! Atque valete!
