I have a question of my own. for the love of God why is every faction in EB1 speaking Greek. Illiriyan's never spoke Greek. neither did romans and what not. No disrespect to the team or anyone who is Greek. but either add some diversity with native tongues or make it all English in game. one of my friends was playing against a Serbian or rather Baltic faction, and they were speaking greek.?

We currently have three voicemods in the game: Greek, Celtic and Latin, on some other we are currently working (protogermanic, phartian, punic).

After the third voicemod (the greek) had been included back in the end of 2005 we realized that all the other factions, which still had the english voices sounded a bit off. So we decided to spread our three voicemods on other factions where it seemd to be the most logical. In the End most factions got the greek voicemod for strategic command because greek was the lingua franca of that time (like in modern day english).

The illyirians are a bit different, being in close contact to greece for several centurys greek is the language to go for them ingame. Of course they might have spoken a different language but most likely many of them have spoken greek too, which is more true to the mercenarys (which the units ingame effectivley are) who fight for different masters of different origin. Greek is definately the correct language for them.

We can't translate the game voices into every languange which was spoken in that time. So we use with the best knowen ones, which we are able to translate and to record and use them for every faction. Of course we look that it fits to the faction.
when the parthian voicemod is finished all steppe factions will get it, even if the sauromatae have spoken something completely different. the pahrtian will always be more accurate than english.
