Pre-Battle Speech

**Glycerus** · 12-13-2004, 21:13

I have gotten to the point that I no longer listen to the pre-battle speech. Last night however the speech started to run while I was setting up my Ibook to record some TV. This speech was like none other I've heard.

Somehow one of my new family members is crazy. HIs name is Amulius the Mad, really...that's what it says on his scroll. Instead of letting him stay in a city to ruin it, I used him as my conquering general. One of his speeches included the following:

"and for tonights entertainment, Gaul. If you kill them there is enough wine in camp to float a boat, and the womenfolk will be...uh...appreciative."

"...every man who lives through this battle will be my sister..."

I heard this speech twice from him last night. I don't know if there is anyway to record this. By the way, after destroying Gaul, Spain, Brittania, and Germany Amulius the mad is undefeated. He never loses and his men never rout. I have seen hastati fight down to one or two before turning.

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

A Compilation of my favorite speeches.

{Roman_Intro_05_1}
My brave men! Victory shall be ours, by grace of my inspired leadership. But this means I cannot risk myself in the front line. I must remain safe, guarded by you, my loyal warriors! This is not cowardice, oh no. It is prudence, the handmaiden of victory!

{Roman_Intro_11_1}
I am known as something of a philosopher. Some ask me, 'Why are we here?' The answer is often complicated... but today we are here to kill all those bastards.

{Roman_Extro_05_2}
And take heart men! For we have sharper pointy things than them. Oh yes, much sharper…

{Roman_Extro_05_3}
And any man who comes through this fight mostly unharmed will be my sister! It'll be free frocks and jollies for ever, you'll see!

{Roman_Extro_06_4}
Er, where was I? Oh yes. Attack the elephants, men! Go for those pink trunky beggars! There was... something else…

{Roman_Extro_06_6}
Er, where was I? Oh yes. Attack the men, my elephants! Go for those little pink sods! Err, was there something… pass the wine, there's a good chap!

{Roman_Extro_07_2}
But beware! Beware! The enemy will be merciless, because I ate all their bees! They have not tasted honey for many a moon, and this has made them mad for revenge! To arms, my pretties, to arms!

{Roman_Extro_07_3}
And remember, they may have the Moon People on their side, but we have lovely hats. Those hats will shield us from their fearsome gaze!

Now some of you may think that defence isn't quite my strongest skill. Well, be that as it may, you have only to stand here, die and stop the enemy. That is good defence. That is what I expect!
