We're under attaaaaack!

In general I find the audio of this game very good. The music is quite repetitive but for some reason it never gets on my nerves.
I especially like the fact that the music changes in battle when something happens like troops on the march or troops clashing into melee, it is informative in a very intuitive way.

Does anyone besides me miss the Latin/Arabic/Russian(?) shouted battlefield orders from MTW?
I didn't find them as annoying as M2TW's silly-accented-English "Units: March!" and "We are under attack!" etc. etc.

Still, I guess it would be too much to ask CA to record battlefield command vocalizations for each and every respective language. One can dream!

if you lisiten close sometimes the southeuropean units will say "si" and "archers rapido!" it annoys me when I play Byzantium.

Gah why did someone bump this thread, it was speculation from before the game came out! Obviously he found his answer almost a year ago.

Ok so I bumped it again, but the rant was worth it

One battle played today and it's just about driven me insane. The voiceover man won't shut up for two seconds. I can't turn speech to 0% because then I don't know what's happening when I kill/capture/whatever, so is there an easy way to delete those sound files?

"Your men are under attack! You must act!"
(enemy - "We ahhhh unda attack" plays)
"The enemy fights with horns made of...."
(enemy - "We ahhhh unda attack" plays)
(interrupting himself) "Praise allah! We ha...."
(interrupting himself again) "Your men are under attack! You must act!"
(enemy - "We ahhhh unda attack" plays)

He talks constantly for the ENTIRE BATTLE. You rarely get more than 10 seconds peace. It wasn't like that before 1.2.

I am fuming. I thought computer games were supposed to be something to enjoy....why does the game need to remind me every 2 seconds that someone is under attack? Did they not think before they put these stupid sound effects in? Are they there for the ADHD 12-year-old RTS crowd?

edit:Yes, this is an angry rant.

drove me nuts too. now i am playing english - at least i can understand what they are saying!

Yes, ditto, I now have to toggle speech on for the strategy turn, and then remember to switch it off for the battles. In my Venetian campaign, my advisor telling me that my troops were under fire and that I must 'Act now!' every time someone shot at them drove me absolutely insane - I would have him on the rack in two seconds if I could.
