ETWs in game languages

[Marten]

I do have a question:

CA has promised us that soldiers in the game will speak the language of their factions.

Only in battles or does it mean also on campaign map? No more "cheap porn movie talk" from a french general (in german with a daffy accent)?

My biggest concern is that this from of address will get lost in the localization, just read the mission description: "You are requested and required to ..."

Could I see a larger version of that please?

There are some fantastic screenshots if you follow that link.

There a screenshot of the diplomatic option. 'Present State Gift'. You can give money costing 2500. A horse for 5000, and what looks like crown jewels for 10000.

The Huron Confederacy and the Iroquois Confederacy are definitely in the game. At least in the RTI campaign.

You can name forts!

Sweet, thanks. Several things that I saw scare me, but I will not say anything till I get the game and see...


EDIT: I heard lots of people saying that they wanted it in M2TW, so I am not sure if anyone knows, but you can rename Cities, Castles, and Factions ingame in M2TW.

Looks like CA is attempting to do some cool things here with Language - but - given the many factions and dialect possibilities, they are bound to disappoint.

For example - although the troops will shout out commands in the most common native tongues (Engish, French, German, Spanish, Russian??) I doubt that there will be Magyar or native american languages included.

And, there is really no getting away from the "movie language" issue as we all don't speak these languages and the - admittedly cheesy -"flavor" is better than no accent at all.

I have never played the German version and so far as I know the voices my only be in the English version.

The Prussians could easily sound like they came from the Allguä or the Austrians came from Hanover.

I am sure they will still have funny things to say however…we will just see…
