Battle Speeches. Your Conclusions

**Quickening** · 03-08-2007, 21:27

So now that we've had months of playing this game, what is your final verdict on the battle speeches.

Myself, I thought it was a bit of a shame that like in RTW they gave the starting factions varied speeches and the unlockable factions just basic ones. Having said that I do enjoy the battle speeches for the English, Venice etc. The Generals however do not sound as empassioned as they did in Rome. They don't sound like they are gearing their men up to fight and die which is a bit of a shame.

The speeches in M2TW are lame. RTW was so much better.

I don't listen to 'em.

They have some funny one liners like that crack about the french being the best lovers in the world. Although i feel they lack something and having the same speeches for all the medditerranean factions gets irritating.

Only the initial playable factions have battle speeches worth anything. Factions like the Danes get a one-liner even before a major battle.

Also, the speaker of the end-battle speeches sounds anything but convinced at a victory for most factions, save the muslim ones.

I hate that guy. According to him, every single battle I fought will be remembered by all of Christendom. Even when I went out with only a General's Bodyguard to exterminate a single rebel crossbow unit.

If your playing one of the starting factions (Without editing the text file and without beating the game one time) they are okay. But if you are playing the Danish or Scotland for example, they are way too short and pointless. True, I only played Rome for a little while and mostly MP but I do agree that the battle speeches were better there. It would be kinda nice if they fix this with a patch. Its really not that hard to get someone to speak on tape and disk space is plentyful nowdays.
