    Civ leaders talk funny!

    How many like the wise cracks the civ leaders make during diplomacy, like catherine the great saying "increase your medication!"?

    At first it is kinda cute but now I get annoyed by it. I wish the civ leaders talked more like real life leaders, it would make diplomacy feel more real. The civ2 and SMAC leaders spoke normally and diplomacy felt much more real. Why do the civ3 leaders have be constantly sarcastic and funny all the time?

    Is there a way to edit the diplomacy messages by any chances?
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

    I honestly don't care either way. I think it's funny, but I focus on the deal and not what is being said to me.
    Lime roots and treachery!

      The leaders responses are in a text file somewhere. AFAIK it is possible to edit it but you would have to be careful.

        Try the Diplomacy.txt file.

          Making Cleo say: "You're goddamn stupid!" everytime you seek for a fair deal would be pretty amusing
          I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

            Sometimes i think that is the way it is in real life. You know, in public they make elaborfate speeches and such, and then they go into a closed door meeting and cuss each other out. Well, maybe not, but I imagine they are not overly formal.

              I actually find it funny, and it goes with their cartoonish faces. It just makes me laugh seeing Hammurabi plead for mercy when I'm about to capture his last city.

              Especially hilarious was the occasioal "All your base are belong to us!" by Tokugawa of the Japanese. I was cracking up the first time I saw it.

                I like some of Hannibals comments. He's got something like "Buck the System!" or thereabouts.

                  Some of them are really good, but to be honest I harly notice them anymore. I would be nice to have a more variety of answers I suppose
                  Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                    I fully agree. Four or five different answers for each situation would make the diplomatic dialogues less tiresome.
                    I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                      If the leaders wouldn't talk funny, the diplomatic negotiations would have been boring from the beginning.

                      Funny talk is spice, not rice.

                        Those were the days, when I still read this stuff...

                          I disagree: civ2 did not have funny stuff in diplomacy and it't diplomacy was not boring! SMAC did not do this either and it's diplomacy was far from boring! It is possible to have serious diplomacy that is not boring. You don't have to make the leaders sound like idiots to make things interesting.
