Yaalah, My Sultan Wishes you Dead!!!

If u click anything in M2TW, they will sound a feedback if you're not their owner... I think how funny it would be if in EB II, a phalavan captain will sound like phalavan when you play him, but they will sound just like Muslim captain when you're their enemy!!!

And Aedui diplomat speaks: Bonjour Mon Ami.....

[satalexton]

wouldn't it be good if we have a makedonian general say 'ALL HAIL MAKEDONIA!!!' when you click on him?

[antisocialmunky]

It would be better if it was in Greek.

No, please not ^^

[The Fuzz]

The Arabic phrases in M2TW did make the game though. I'll never get tired of "HIMSHI! INFIDEL!"

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Infiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidel!
lololllllololol

[Ibrahim]

you have it all wrong. His sultan doesn't wish you dead-he wishes your sultan dead.


in any event; I think it would be cool if the stratmap characters threaten in their native languages; just imagine meeting a sabaean general speaking sabaean to ye, or a gaul gallic, or romani in latin..

the possibilities are near endless IMHO.

[Cute Wolf]

And Gauls speak french and Sweboz speak Germans....
BTW, M2TW stratmap interface is excellent, even better than Empire....

[Alsatia]

and the Casse speak English

Looking at the language diversity, the voice modders could have a hard time. This is going to take a while.

Empire is really good, except for the fact that there are not enough regions.

ALL HAIL EB!!!

Is it not tied to culture? That might cause a problem, german and dacians replying in celtic, Sabeans speaking punic etc.

Thankfully, it's not tied to culture in Medieval II, according to Shigawire. That means Germanic generals replying in their language, woohoo!

[bobbin]

gladas ða-sah kun-iðiz makôn me!

[Tellos Athenaios]

In M2TW speech is tied to "accent".

[Hax]

But accent can be different per culture, right? I mean, the French, English and Scots all have northern_european culture and have different accents.

Maybe they couild all have a placeholder "Hmmm?" noise until work can be done on the linguistic side.

Are these audio files easily modded? Maybe I'll make the Sweboz generals yell "Go for the eyes Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!"

[Cute Wolf]

Better use french, english, muslim, and german reply than use hmmm tough

[Atraphoenix]

what about unknown or dead languages, like saromatae, saka, etc.
it is impossible to make a voicemod for each faction.

[Prussian to the Iron]

i noticed you said sauromatae and saka; perhaps they could use the modern language spoken there? or the earliest fully-known language of those regions?

[bobbin]

The only surviving ancestor of the scythian language group is Ossetian AFAIK. Don't know what EB uses in naming the Sauromatae units, is that a reconstuction?

Saka would have also spoken a Scythian language but probably very different from the Sauromatae given the distance between them.

[Alsatia]

The voicemods are going to be difficult, unless they reuse them. They sound slightly hollow in EBI.

Saka probably did speak scythian, but it says it was spoken in China.

Sometimes you can never trust some sources.

[bobbin]

I'd imagine they would keep the old voicemods as it would take a lot of time and money to re-record them, not that they'd need to in my book, I like the voicemods a lot.

The Scythian languages are part of the Iranian language group which originated in central asia so I don't think its that hard a stretch of the imagination to imagine a Scythian language being spoken in far western modern china (which is just on the eastern edge of the EB map).

Scythian is also a rather loose term and seems to be applied to a lot of nomadic people living from the ukraine to central asia.

oh come on! you know there is no such thing.

bah! whatever.

A muslim is a person that practices Islam. The correct word should be arabic here. Just to reinforce the above post.

I used to get mixed up with muslim/arabic before as well.

[Ludens]

A muslim is a person that practices Islam. The correct word should be arabic here. Just to reinforce the above post.

Although Arabic is indeed the language of most Muslims, several important Muslim countries use different languages, most notably Turkey and Iran.

[Alsatia]

True., True. It is just one of the range of major languages in the Middle east.

[athanaric]

Although Arabic is indeed the language of most Muslims, several important Muslim countries use different languages, most notably Turkey and Iran.

Actually the country with the biggest Muslim population is Indonesia, which has some indigenous languages as well.

[bobbin]

Arabic speaking countries.

Green: Sole official language
Blue: Co-official language

Indonesian is a Malay language spoken by the vast majority of indonesians, usually as a second language though.

[Belisarius II]

Ha, that reminds me of a time when I overheard someone say that Jews came from Jewland

Anyways, I was a bit sad in Empire when I found out that the a people on the map didn't talk to you. I missed an angry Frenchman yelling at me when I sack Paris.
