crappy battle speeches

[Grifman]

Was there really any need to be a smartarse? Don't you think I had considered this?

If this is the case couldn't they have got someone WITH SOME FREAKING TALENT to do the roman voice acting too perhaps? In the face of logic such as the above you shouldn't be surprised I am here asking this question....

If you had considered it, you wouldn't have asked the question because the answer is pretty obvious. Seriously, what did you think the answer was going to be? Your question made no sense. Either it was a conscious decision by the developers due to limited resources, or else they screwed up somehow and lost the speech files or some other such nonsense. Or I guess you could say they were lazy or stupid or didn't care about the other factions, or some combination there of. What answer did you really expect?

The day is oooooowwwwwaaaaaaaarrrrz!

I have to agree about the crappy voice acting... the Carthaginians/Greeks/Macedonians/whatever have the most bizarre accent. They shouldn't have faked an accent, and should have instead gotten an Arab and Modern Greek accent instead, it might not have been historically accurate, but it sounds better and it's less irritating than what they have now. But I like the battle speeches in general, except that my troops keep cheering when the general says the enemy is going to wait in the forest to come out and slaughter them all, yet, when he says they vastly outnumber the enemy, you can almost hear the virtual crickets chirping.

Oh yeah, the off-timed cheers are funny. "The enemy will try to use the woods to hide their troops and ambush us." *cheer* I'll watch them cheer about being outnumbered, lacking proper counters to elephants/cav, its pretty funny.
