Thread: Hilarious Speeches.

  1. #1

    Default Hilarious Speeches.

    Im currently playing the Brutii. My Faction leader, who is 72 is leading one of my finest legions on the conquest of Egypt. At the end of each speech he says something like "err, kill the men on them pinky elephant beggers, oh and I was going to say something else too..." Poor senile bastard, he deserves to be in my capital chilling ;p

    Another one I heard was "Our things are sharper and pointier than theirs, MUCH pointier!" Or something along those lines.

    Some of the speeches are comedy ;p

    The last big battle I played as Julii had the commander saying something along the lines of:

    "win glory and your people will be appreciative! And tonight at camp the women will be... erm... appreciative..."

    not exactly like that - but you get the point

    I have not heard any of that at all..
    They do sound funny though

    I find that after awhile the speeches get repetitive.."They have been led here by strutting fools and blistering morons"..."no one has come here to aid them today"..etec.

    Is it possible to dissable them? They got old quickly and I just find them annoying now. Especially since you have to break the animation twice before you can click the button.

    I love the speeches. My favorite line so far is something like, "I want to bathe in blood. I want to bath in blood for a week!" I'm also partial to the reference to the Gauls as "hairy beyond reason."

    My favourite speech was from my scythian warlord:

    "Now is a good time to pray to the gods, but better than that it is a good time to sharpen your swords in case the gods are deaf! Be ready, and when the time comes, gut your foe like a fish!"
    "Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

    "They have been led here by strutting fools and blistering morons"

    Yep, that's a good one. First half is fine, but "morons"!

    Also, something like this, "your general has become food for carrion birds; make sure you do not become bird food too!"

    That's just god awful. It's almost like the lines were given to some Japanese, who translated it in Japanese, then back to English for the game.

    Another one is something like, "they are dead meat". Geesh.
    "Carthago delenda est!" Cato the Elder

    Remark made that in the enemy's country, "If you don't take anything, you feel you've forgotten something." Captain J.R. Coignet, Napoleonic Era.

    "Is not your Majesty surprised?" [i.e., at the outcome of Waterloo]. Napoleon replied, "No, it has been the same thing since Crecy."
