Pre-Battle Speech

It sounds like your general is both an alcoholic and insane.

It's nice how the speeches reflect their personality.

Many cool speeches, but my favourite is from a Rome:TW Presentation Video. A Julii army VS a Seleucid one. The Julii general said: "Seleucids? PAH, I wipe better from the soles of my boots"

I've heard the "appreciative camp followers" speech many times, especially with Carthage.

My favourite one is still the blood bathing one. Im not sure quite sure how it goes but its something like this: "I want to see blood, I want to bath in their blood, I want to bath in their blood for a week!"

Also what was the trait that gave your speech, Glycerus I really want to hear those insane speeches.

Anyone know how to take a peek at the speeches? I've searched but could only find intro videos. Since I've heard enedless speeches I just want to hear the ones I've never heard

You can find the text in:

Favorite one I've ever heard was before the final assault in a long campaign:

"Hello. Today we are gathered here to do battle. Regretable, isn't it, but sometimes, you know, life is like that. You have to do something that you don't want to do, just because someone is telling you to do it. I didn't want to be here myself, but then my mother told me that I'd better make a reasonable show of it all, so here we go then... "

My favorite one I found in the file, and am hoping to hear someday:

"Well ride me sideways and whip me with a winkle fork, lads! There's a lot of the bastards, aren't there? Those arseweasels are here to get away from their unfulfilled, shrill wives. Hardly surprising, as they all have tiny little manhoods! Smaller than a flea on a cockroach's bum!"

LOL, I cannot wait to see how it was translated to Polish (I'm playing localized ver). Very good one
