    I hope that CA chooses some interesting battle cries, not like "CHAAAARGE!" for every faction. I liked Scotland in M2TW, they were fun on the battlefield.

    CA have confirmed that on the battlefield each faction will respond in it's own native language. That means we should see a nice variety of different battle cries.

    Hopefully the Scots get some interesting battlecries. They better have some to go along with the famous Kamikaze Scotsmen:

    Each faction? Probably just the "playable" factions.

    I would hope they'll at least do regions for the non-playable factions. It would be rather silly for people in Morocco or Persia to speak Turkish, or for people in the Crimean Khannate to speak Russian.

    Silly, but very, very likely given CA's past history with accents. Like Meth said, all the playable factions will have their own language, but I doubt all the the minor ones will do. I expect we'll see one language for all of the Native American tribes, one for all of the Indian factions, one for all the baltic factions, etc.

    But atleast it beats the odd Australian accent popping up here and there.

    I don’t much like to point fingers, but the bad accents we all complain about were out of the Australian facility.

    To a cretin degree that makes it more understandable, but some of it was serious ignorance at the very least. Poland and Denmark sharing the same accent? What was that?

    Being based in the UK, this iteration has access to almost any language or accent. They can even have Bavarians and Austrians different to the rest of the Germans…and the Swiss of course. I doubt that we get each province will have it’s own accent but it would not be so hard to give each faction theirs. Especially Bavarians and Austrians CA!



    It may be that it was safer to go with the native languages so that you didn’t have to worry about the Pole or Lett who had an Irish-English accent vs. just an English one…

    I sure hope they remembered that Washington was from Virginia as opposed to Boston! That would make me scream!
