ETW, Where is the Comedy!

[Fisherking]

What witty, funny, slightly humorous things have you come across in the game so far?

I should say that were placed there deliberately! Also Easter Eggs, have you found any yet?

I know before you start, that they have made some stupendous historical errors that some may view as tragically funny…but I am speaking of deliberate attempts at humor.

Or is everyone missing the point in 18th century humor?

[A Very Super Market]

Flying Dutchman

Some of the traits.

The duel cutscenes are pretty good I thought. Shame there aren't more for rakes, stealing tech, etc.

Still, nothing comes close to the moving bush!

[Ordani]

Nothing they've ever done has come close to the movies from Shogun. Whomever did that, CA, hire them back!

[Plusi]

Can't remember the name of the trait, but one of my (British) general's had a trait, the description of which was something along the lines of...

"I say, those chaps over there mean to harm us. Shall we have at them?"

Hilarious :D

Thats the 'Cool under fire' trait I think.

Some of the Ancillaries for gentlemen are funny. I've seen a Gibbering Loon, and a few other madmen style ancilarries.

[Havard]

Queen Victoria of England took a mistress. The nobility loved it

[KozaK13]

American units say "yes lord" and "for his majesty" in the campaign.

Had a pretty hilarious video when I ordered one of my UP gentleman to duel a Spanish fellow. Can be summarized about like this:

The two guys are in the street of some small town. Backs turned to each other. They each take ten steps, turn, pulling their pistols. *CLICK*. Both guns are empty. Frustrated, my gentleman tomahawks the pistol at his opponent, drilling the man square in the face.

Later, at an extravagant palace, the two gents walk by each other, give each other an awkward, embarrassed glance, and keep walking...

[Maleficus]

I saw on another forum that you can find Captain Kidd's buried treasure somewhere in North America. Does anyone know if this is true?

[Greyblades]

A message in the GB campaign, about 1725, "Severed head"... oh god...

Ha, Love that video. Im disappointed that only duels are shown as videos now. Assasinations and Sabotage are just not the same without the video's

[Discoman]

I had one duel where my opponent's gun jammed, which prompted an immediate investigation by peering down the barrel and then the weapon discharged in his face. I won the duel sorta...

Thought that was just in Episodes 1 & 2 of RTI? I'm playing Episode 3, the Revolutionary War, and I think they only say "yes, sir" and "march!"

They still say "sire" and "for crown and country!" in Episodes 3 and 4.

[Fisherking]

They still say "sire" and "for crown and country!" in Episodes 3 and 4.

Is that comedy or deliberate provocation?

The U.S. started a succession war with me in the GC.

[ArtillerySmoke]

The drummer stepped out in front of one of my lineman units during the middle of a LOUD volley between my Russians and the Prussians, and starting banging on his drums, facing the troops, trying to inspire them. (It was amazing).

All of a sudden, obviously, a series of about a dozen bullets from the enemy ripped through his body and he twisted around and fell to the ground.

Guess he felt like going out with a bang

[Squints]

I like the duel movie where one just just bolts as soon as backs are turned. The other guy just steadies his gun and shoots him from several yards away.
