    Agreed! I love how it sort of rhymes, I find myself saying it sometimes just because it's fun to say. But good luck explaining to anyone what you are talking about if they hear you...

    Edit:

    as for Carthaginian voices (especially when you order them to run, or when you rally troops with your sacred band bodyguard unit): i don't know about others, but to me they sound like some people drunk as hell: i can almost smell the smell of whiskey from their breath. Anyway i just love them: my drunken butchers they are

    and those Roman Velites: they voice reminds me of some guy from high society when he ask his girl for a dance: especially that "s" at the end, sounds so "lordly" to me

    IMO Whoever voices the Iranian units is very talented, as a whole they are very well done.

    Especially the Bodyguard.

    Yes, the talent is wonderful on the Persians!

    I won't believe TPC did them unless he himself verifies this =]

    Hi, in my opinion the following units just sound great:

    Spartiatai Hoplitai
    Somatophylakes Strategou
    Hetairoi
    Samnitii
    Appea Gaedotos
    Cwmyr

    and many more *g* It's a pity that the punic units don't say their names :/
