News: Your units will speak the nations language.

[vee4473]

I think using the animated advisors from civ2 and applying it to diplomacy sessions would be great.

imagine negotiating with an animated, whimpering chairman mao as he begs for peace before you roll tanks over his final city.

that could be worth the 50 bucks right there.

This is excellent. It was a great plus in Age of Kings IMO, and it probably shows an attention to immersive details superior to previous Civ games

[Tattila the Hun]

Hum, Call to Power had fun voices. It was interesting, how many futuristic units had female voices...

[DerSchwarzfalke]

I approve of this service and/or feature

This more or less guarantees I will be playing as the Germans non-stop.

[Daddy-O]

Oh. Why'd I go and read the article?

Now I think I want this game.

Well, maybe the units will say things with Civ3-style, humoristic gamish stye

OH THE HUMANITY!

I haven't been this excited about a game in a long while. Soren really seems to have a good handle on things. I hope it's not all just an illusion

[Boris Godunov]

Well, I'm cautious on this. EE had units that did this, and it got extremely annoying after a short while. Clicking on German troops and getting the nasal "Mein Commandant!" every single time was grating, to say the least.

Of course, if the voices can be turned off without turning off other sounds, that would be fine.

[FrostyBoy]

Well if each unit has a different sound then it won't be the same right through the game, but if there are 100 units, and what is it 16? 18 civ's, (I'll say 18) then thats 100 x 18 nations = 1800. That's a lot of sounds; but I think there games (GTA:SA? it has 2-3gig worth) have just as many.

*click a pessimistic archer* "Look, maybe the arrow will get there maybe it won't. I think that until we get better arrows, we should just forget this lousy mess."

*click on an archer named Solveriticus* "Listen, don't let your past arrow shots cloud your vision here. Sure they're a mile off hidden under a foot of hardened bronze shields, but your one arrow could turn the tide of this war!"

[First, I have to say that the speech there got me a little riled up, and I was just joking. Second, I'd love to hear that said all in Korean!]

If you can bring yourself to tolerate Firaxis's civ for a while longer, I'd like to see what you can come up with for a unit sound pack

Nice one Yin .

[Nikolai]

I like this; a fun and a bit weird thing that gives the game spirit!

I'm really surprised of this "nations language": do they really mean they will translate in eighteen different Civ languages? (Ok maybe American English and Great English can sound roughly the same).

I'm betting a pizza Firaxis simply mean that they are translating voices for every translated version of the game, and someone on a fan site related too much from reality to an interesting wish...

Maybe I'm wrong, but let me underline I'm *not* ready to eat any manual nor game box at all

[FrostyBoy]

Not a fan site, it is clearly stated on WorthPlaying, and they can be trusted.
