Non-Catholics get no or fewer General`s speeches

[MadKow]

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.

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...

Yes, you should keep an eye on that insane man...... Bob..... the Insane.....

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

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.

"The French, it is said, are better lovers than fighters. This is true, ask any pig, goat or other farm animal"

[KARTLOS]

as the english and sicialns the speaches are fine, lengthy and sometimes amusing.

i like the way the sicilan general always lectures about killing muslims as the camera pans over my muslim archers!

as the poples the speaches were never realy more than a sentance - it just seems the game wasnt finished properly to me.

But I swear that they had long speeches when I played my first game with them (had to restart a time or two, just to get the hang of things)

Ah well...

Are you sure that's the reason? I'm playing Poland and I'm getting nice variety of long speeches.

What I learned from RTW, and I imagine it'd be the same in M2:

The "official" 5 factions (England, France, Spain, Venice, and that other one?) have all of their speeches written and acted out. The other factions have variations in the quantity of their speeches - it would seem the Scots only have one-liners, while the Turks have almost nothing.

Also, the speech bits are organized by accent/region. Thus, even though Sicily isn't one of the "major" factions, they still have full-length speeches because it just borrows the sound files from Venice.

On the other hand, the Scottish have seperately recorded voice files, and I'm sure CA didn't think it was worth the time/money to record out hours worth of speeches for just one nation.
