Well about the speeches and the advice given. Pointless, I do not bother hearing advices. I want to hear "braveheart/lotr/(any other warmovie) - style speeches that geers me up" :)

But the speeches are fine actually, I think it was a nice feature to the game. What only annoys me is that in the replays the speeches are not shown, but the long and booooooooooooooring deployment phase is shown
