    Default Scrappy Horse???

    Playing all the Roman factions, the units would shout 'Imperator' when clicked on.

    Now I'm playing the Greek City States and the units are saying something that sounds like 'Scrappy Horse'.

    What are they actually saying and what does it mean?

    What do the other factions say?
    As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

    yep, strategos or whatever

    greek name for general

    all factions call you general of one type or another except the roman imperator has the victorious general implication.

    the voice acting is pretty bad though

    Mmh, no, it's quite bad, sorry.
    The romans are good (except for the the horrible herald), but for the rest, there is a definite overacting.
    It's not THAT bad, but it's clearly not good either. Not on par with the voices of KOTOR, or Warcraft III, or else.
    If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.

    The Barbarian voices are rather good , and the Roman Generals when giving pre-battle speeches are reasonable , it's merely the rest of them that blow .
    I've said it before and I'll say it again : I'm convinced the "Eastern" voice actor found the dialogue hilarious , he only just resists the urge to laugh out loud in several places in his script .
    "The smell worse than any camel , is this ludicrous script ! Men , we can use this dialogue to fertilise the entire siani and retire as wealthy farmers !"

    Oye !
    7 out of 10 people like me ,
    I'm not going to change for the other three .
