Battle Speeches?

[NoQuarter]

I remember back on RTW and BI there were speeches when you went to battle. Why'd they take them out, or do I have them turned off or something? I always liked those speeches.

Most factions do still get speeches. Some though, like the Turks, hardly ever get them. Others, such as the Scots, only get very short speeches.

EDIT: Welcome to the Guild!

Thanks. Ive only played Poland and Spain so far, and I haven't had one yet. I'll check the options next time to see if they're off or something.

Most factions get speeches, but only the big factions get the long/good speeches (such as England, France, and Milan).

They give the speach before you hit the "start deployment" button, so make sure to wait before deploying if you want to hear the speech.

Hmmm, well Spain at least should have had speeches, since they use the Latin voices (along with Milan, Venice, Sicily, and Byzantium). I haven't heard of an option to turn off speeches though.

Are you playing with any mods, unofficial patches etc?

my guess is ur just not waiting long enough, when the start deployment button comes up wait a while, the camera pans a bit to look at ur army then eventually it settles on your general who starts his speech
