ETWs in game languages

[Fisherking]

This should make it harder for me to get off topic.

CA has promised us that soldiers in the game will speak the language of their factions.

I sure hope they do, but I don’t know how much thought they actually gave this.

I am sure once the game is out we will be sharp shooting this in serious detail.

As I pointed out in another thread the Brits and Americans sounded British.

At the time there was not much difference in the way they sounded…but it was more like Americans than Estuary British we here today.

Next…Just wait until the German speakers get hold of the game! If the Austrians and Bavarians sound like the Hanoverians or the Prussians… well I am sure they are going to hear about it…And I haven’t even brought in the Swiss yet…

And what about the Native American factions? If the Sioux and the Iroquois are speaking the same language…well some of us will know!

This might tend to get really nasty if you know what I mean…Languages are great and having the right one is special…I hope we see their efforts. And I hope they were at least some what conscientious in their efforts.

But if past games are any indicator, every tiny mistake is going to be pointed out to them.

I hope the men from Courland and Poland aren’t speaking the same language…And Ben Franklin had better not sound like Winston Churchill….
