Re: General Speeches
I posted this in another thread, this is part of a speech by Tarek,one of the conquering Arab generals in Spain. He gave this speech before a battle.
"Remember that I place myself in the front of this glorious charge which I exhort you to make. At the moment when the two armies meet hand to hand, you will see me, never doubt it, seeking out this Roderick, tyrant of his people, challenging him to combat, if God is willing. If I perish after this, I will have had at least the satisfaction of delivering you, and you will easily find among you an experienced hero, to whom you can confidently give the task of directing you. But should I fall before I reach to Roderick, redouble your ardor, force yourselves to the attack and achieve the conquest of this country, in depriving him of life. With him dead, his soldiers will no longer defy you."
It's easy to use part of this, OR conjure up a speech on this basis for the Moors and there are many many other speeches you can use. It would also be quite a contrast to the other factions. Even though generally the Arab voices are quite brutal sounding, generally a speech would have to have been eloquent and well versed as these guys were quite literate, and Arabic was an extremely poetic language. The further back you go the more so. There is no shortage of speeches, heroes or orators for any of the factions in game.
OFC there are constraints, but I wonder are there really ? I know a guy from the last online squadron I was in, for a flight simulator. He GAVE skins he made for aircraft to the developers for free. Those skins are now incorporated into the newest official version of the product, he's got a little one line mention in the manual and he's happy. Because he wants to help improve the game and enjoy his hobby.
Anyway not complaining, just sharing my thoughts. Time is always a factor with any project so is money. I dislike mediocrity though, I also dislike imperfection. M2TW is realy great though. AWESOME achievement.
