    Default Best sounding units.

    Good day fellow EB-fans!
    As we all appreciate, the EB units call their names in their native tongues, when selected. As I hve played some different factions by now I have some unit sounds I prefer over others.
    In general I can say that I prefere the Barbarian voicemod. Such a deep voice, so much fierce anger in it!
    Buti n particular there is one unit sounding much more intimidating than all the others.

    I really like the Iberian voices. They remind me of my cat... No really, they are great. The Persian stuff also sounds great, and the unit names of the Germanic units. Though perhaps the best one is when you select several Roman units: TRIBUNE??!!!

    I hate the carthagenian voices. I mean they are fantastic, but they have this one strange call: abIIIIIrrrrrrrrrrruuuuu or so.^^ Every single unit seems to use it^^

    I think the Iranian units sound best, though unlike the Germanic and Greek ones, I can't understand any of it.

    I also like the Duguntiz because a very obvious cognate of the dug- part in their name exists in my language.

    That's a command of the Iberian/Hibernian units, meaning "run" or something in the like.

    I like the Tejanos that yell "Somos paisanos" when an enemy unit gets close.

    Romans. Definitely.

    I was also very surprised about that one. Whats the meaning of IENTE?
    Because meybe he says sth like "The Barbarians won't prevail"

    i like the "hellenikoi kataphraktoi", especially when shouted by several units of baktrian hetairoi katas. the "aamino, hasrah!" (or whatever it is) spoken by the celts is kinda cool too.

    There is one, I alway understand:
    HUM NOO HEM NUM NEOM!

    WARGOZEZ! IS definetly the best of Sweboz, but I still THINK DUBOSAVERLACICA! is more threatening. If you've never heard it, check it out in the sound folder...

    The eastern units sometimes say dousgordaan (something like that), but in dutch it really sounds like douchegordijn, which in english means showercurtain.

    Two units I use almost in every campaign. Units that make my treasury empty and make me bang my head against the wall...

    But I like them and their voices

    Mistrophoroi Phalangitai
    Mistrophoroi Kretikoi

    (spl?)

    Mistrophoroi Phalangitai? What faction do you play as?

    And by Kretikoi I assume you mean Toxotai.

    RUMBA RUM is funny. I think Celtic guys say it when you tell them to go to the walls with rams.
