loading screen quotes

[Mount Suribachi]

So, how about a list of medieval quotes for the loading screen, a la the ancient quotes on the RTW loading screens? I'll kick off.

Will no-one rid me of the turbulent priest? Henry II

[Templar Knight]

Will no one revenge me of the injuries I have sustained from one turbulent priest?
Henry II

Heretics try to tear the seamless robe of our God
Emperor Frederick II

So long as I have lived I have striven to live worthily. I desire to leave the me who come after me a remembrance in good works
Alfred the Great

For likewise as chivalry gives to a knight all that to him appertains, in likewise a knight ought to give all his forces to honor chivalry
Ramon Lull, Book of Knighthood and Chivalry

[TB666]

Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

Sorry, someone had to do it

[Mount Suribachi]

Given the Python references in RTW I wouldn't be surprised. They even got Up Pompeii in there |

[UltraWar]

O King, seems to me the present life of men on earth, in comparison with that time which to us is uncertain, as if when on a winter's night you sit feasting with your ealdormen and thegns, - a single sparrow should fly swiftly into the hall, and coming in at one door, instantly fly out through another.

The Venerable Bede 673 - 735

Ogres are like onions... They have layers
Shreck

Put the Bunny back in the box
Nicholas Cage (Con Air)

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the armies of the North, General of the Felix legions. Loyal to the true Emporer Marcus Aurelius, Father to a murdered son, Husband to a murdered wife and I will have my vengeance in this life or the next.
Russel Crowe (Gladiator)

I only told you to blow the bloody doors off!
Micheal Caine (Italian Job)

Every time I try to talk to someone it's "sorry this" and "forgive me that" and "I'm not worthy"
God (Monty Python and Holy Grail)

Pick that up, put it down, get out, come here, go away, never again, it's you fault, you don't appreciate me, if you don't know I'm not going to tell you, you're a mess, I hate you, come with me, leave me alone, what time do you call this, what have I told you, I told you this would happen, I'm cold, I'm hot, your trouble is you don't think, you'll break it, you'll burn it, turn it up, turn it down, stop showing off, stop showing me up, get off, don't wipe it there, turn it over, come to bed, go to bed, get out of bed, etc.
My Girlfriend (every day)

Have I missed the point of this?

[Kourutsu]

I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle.
-Godfrey of Ibelin

God will understand, my lord. And if he doesn't, then he is not God and we need not worry.
-Balian of Ibelin

Deep...Real deep.

[Voigtkampf]

"I fart in your general direction!"
Monty Python

What? It is medieval lore.

[Peasant Phill]

What no blackadder quotes yet?

[Horatius]

What no blackadder quotes yet?

Problem is that they would all have to be Black Adder the First Quotes and the funny scenes require two quotes not one for example

From this day forth I shall be known as "The black Vegetable"-Black Adder

Milord wouldn't something more like the Black Adder be more cunning?-Baldric

But Baldric I have an even more cunning plan, the Black

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Adder

-Black Adder

Having just one of those quotes in wouldn't be good, you need Baldrick and Black Adder's piece.

[Peasant Phill]

true but you can still use some:

He's a witch, the hair proves it.

[GodWillsIt]

I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle.
-Godfrey of Ibelin

God will understand, my lord. And if he doesn't, then he is not God and we need not worry.
-Balian of Ibelin

Deep...Real deep.

When I am not King, I quake for Islam
-Saladin

[bazboy]

This seems to got really out of control, although most of the quotes are funny!

Although I would have to agree with a couple other people in saying that loading screen quotes would get boring and repetitive. I would prefer a cool way of loading, the loading bar could be experimented with and made nice and fun to look at. Or I think the best way to deal with loading screens is to go and get something to eat whilst you wait for it to load, or watch TV. or do any odd jobs you need to get done. the one addition i like about this medieval 2: total war is how the battlefield comes straight from the map (i only played rome: total war for a couple days, not sure if it was the same in that, correct me if wrong), i think that will interest the player.

i still think getting a drink or getting food is the best way to deal with loading screens, it is just like comercials on TV, but you can't flick the channel

whatever,

we will see what happens

thanks

Here lies hincmar, and savage greed aside,
he did one truly noble thing, he died.

- 'elegy' of johannes scottus eriugena on the death of the bishop hincmar in the 9th century.

I would like the one from terminator i thimk is is: "I'll be back"

[Subedei]

"My anda Temujin [Genghis Khan] has four hounds whom he brought up on human flesh, and kept in chains. They have brows of copper, snouts like chisels, tongues like bradawls, hearts of iron, and tails that cut like swords. They can live on dew, and ride like the wind. On the day of battle they eat the flesh of men. You see how, being set loose, they come forward slavering for joy. Those two are Jebe and Khubilai; those two are Jelmei and Subetai. That is who those four 'hounds are." [Jamukha`s reply to Tayang Khan; The Secret History of the Mongols]

...that one got Tayng freakin´scared....don´t mess around with those doggies....good book by the way...illustrating

Let's just hope the loading screen takes a while eh?

Baldrick, what starts with 'Come here' and ends in 'Owch'?
Don't know?
Come here.
