I don't want turn down speech altogether but having a prolonged missile shootout between 2 armies (which i usually starts any battle) drives me nuts now. My lord!!! Our troops are under fire!!! every 10 seconds... GRRRRR... OMG... Thanks sport for telling me, they are called missile troops for a reason....I better just surrender then.

This is weird. I had what you describe in the leaked 1.2 but in the official one I havent heard the "Our troops are taking fire, we need to act", once.

They probably realised how irritating it is! Damn backseat driver advisor

Thank you gonna reinstall the patch now

the problem is not that they say it the problem is they repeat it again and again.
We need to act... We need to act...

Yes, extremely annoying, isn't he, in a doom-mongering sort of Alan Green(super negative Northern Irish football commentator) way? And he's still in the official patch!

While defending Pamplona, outnumbered 3 to 1, he wouldn't stop wailing about needing a divine miracle or something to save us. What he obviously didn't know, but I - and possibly God - did, is that the Artificial Idiocy isn't much better in 1.2 than it was in previous versions. the Portuguese knocked down the gate, annihilated my billmen, (worse than useless troops early on) then proceeded to ignore the easy way in favour of all going up the one set of ladders to where my only remaining non-missile unit of DEKs were more than happy to give them a good kicking.

Result: Heroic Victory and blessed silence from Green's medieval counterpart

What do you mean this happened in the leaked 1.2?

I hopefully installed the official version and I get that irritating voice every two minutes! I think I'll have a hunt around the sound files and delete his ass.

Yep, for some reason it wasn't happening in custom battles yesterday for me but today its back to happening all the time.

Just tried a quick single battle with archers vs archers and sure enough he must have said that line like 10 tens during the shootout... I wonder what the trigger is??
