You have to wait during the battle setup. When the cam is panning sideways it the zooms down to the general and delivers the speech. Some factions, though, doesn´t have speeches. I´, currently playing the Turks and no speeches for well over 200 turns and many more battles.
Text is good, but the intonation and energy they put in them is quite underwhelming.
Half of the time, they sound like they are talking to the guy beside them, not to a whole battlefield army.
If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.

I also have the suspicion - and it's no more than this - that not all the accents have a full set of speech elements in the published game. They were written, but not necessarily recorded thanks to time constraints and the need to get everything to fit on a single disk. You should find that the major western European factions' generals will say more than anyone else's leaders.
BTW, most of the speeches attributed to mad generals are actually the result of too much drinking on his part. You'll recognise the mad generals and the potty-mouthed generals when you hear them, oh yes.![]()

I have to say - I'm loving the speeched so far! I've been rolling around in laughter at the speeches from heavily dreaded generals who are good speakers and like a drink![]()

Isn't it funny how people trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell?
So is that true for non-English versions of the game too? Or is it like SirRethcir says, that only the Germans in the German version have longer und funner speeches? Good job btw. Captain.....Originally Posted by Captain Fishpants

“Some may never live, but the crazy never die” (Hunter S. Thompson)
Since smoking hashish was very popular in the middle-east during the Middle-ages it would be a little amusing if you could get stoners as generals rather than drunkards.
"One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"
-Stephen Fry
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."
Age and treachery will defeat youth and skill every time.
Are there speeches? I have the German version, maybe they weren't translated... haven't heard any speech yet. (Played Scots, Russians and English.)
