Non-Catholics get no or fewer General`s speeches

[Quillan]

I've seen a lot of short ones, many mid sized ones, and a few long ones from the Byzantine generals. However, nothing so far has compared to the morose general from RTW who "didn't want to be here myself, but my mother said I'd better make a reasonable showing of it all, so here we go."

I have had one instance of my English general (before attaking Antioch as part of a crusade) announced that the attack should be "lead by the green pixies and pink fairies"...

I am going to have to keep a closer eye on him...

Are there speeches? I have the German version, maybe they weren't translated... haven't heard any speech yet. (Played Scots, Russians and English.)

Unlike RTW they do not start immediately, you have to wait for the closeup of your general before he starts speaking...

As the Turks, i waited on the camera to pan, then getting close, no speech. Then i heard the cheers from the soldiers as if reponding to one...

Seems half done, to me.

Yep, the Turks have no speeches :(

Whoever did the voices for Spain did a great job, I'm thoroughly enjoying pre-battle. And I think CF is right, it does seem that three-unit battles are just single-line speeches, whereas some of my crusader-army seiges have gone on quite a while. A good mechanic, I think.

I enjoyed the English speech when I was facing a French army.

"It is true that the French are better lovers then fighters...ask any goat, sheep, pig or other farm animal! *Huge cheer*" I nearly wet myself laughing at that one

[Varam]

I actually got a speech (well, one line) as the Turks today. Oddly enough it was a really small battle against brigands, but my Turkish generals never have anything to say when they are leading massive armies against full stacks of Greeks.

There are speeches, but short ones. Only the HRE speeches are in full length.
In the German Verision, 400MB of sound files are missing.
If that's not an indication.

My English general keep going on about god and how he will defeat there enemies and that the french are godless farm animal lovers interesting thing he doesn't have a lot of piety he also said i quote
''We are doing the Scots a favour by dying here they wont have to come back to there horrid wives ,women better used as fishing bait '' something like that

Alright, I'm playing a game as the Danes...for some reason, ALL the speeches are short. I've had some pretty epic battles, but no long speeches to go along with them.

Anyone have any ideas why?

Because they got the eastern European language and they don't have long speeches it seems.
