Nothing on Victoria?

Seriously, whilst the voiced tutor is a new addition (I think...) to the game, it really did sound like she had places she'd rather be... She actually sounds bored!

I was hoping other factions (especially "less civilised" ones) would have better voices. I guess part of it is that the Romans all seem to lack any kind of accent. Now, I've no idea what a Roman accent should sound like - maybe it shouldn't sound like anything... But it does just sound like they've picked up a couple of random 30-odd year olds at the unemployment centre...

I guess the pre-battle advice kind of fits in well with the camera panning across the army, and I am interested in knowing what the other factions sound like here. Perhaps a few (ideally a lot) more sayings to choose from might be nice, with a shorter pause between each phrase. Or how about just one phrase every battle?


Also, another problem (I don't want to sound really harsh by starting a dozen "problems with RTW" threads)... The "Start" button that terminates the deployment phase. Two problems:

1) Why make it so that the Return key activates it, rather than deselecting units like the rest of the game? Is it really that hard to click it?! Many times on MTW I accidentally started the game with units deployed all over the place...

2) Why couldn't they put the button in a box, rather than just straight onto the screen? In MTW, I always moved the Start Battle button out of the way so I could actually see! Now that option is gone :( What point is there in beautifully rendered troops when there's a bloody button in the way?!

CA! You had things so right with MTW - why did you have to go changing them?!
