Battle Speeches

[Manius Julius Prime]

Has anyone noticed any speeches? I haven't seen the more cinematic game play they talked about. It seem to be fairly bland. I was wondering what was missing. Then after play Rome 1. I was like the battle speeches are gone. No singing in the music. No battle speeches from my Generals. No Cinematics for agents.

You know what this game feels like? A paradox game. I don't mind playing them time to time, but I like the normal Total War feel to the game. This game feels so bland. I do hope they put those things back in. It makes the game a bit boring without them.

They need to get the man who did the music for the mod Rome Total Realism 6.0. It was without a doubt far better then what Creative Assembly can seem to manage.

My generals often give speeches but you have to be hovering around them to hear it. I miss the videos too but in all honesty I ended up skipping them more often than listening to them. Speech content is better in R2 in my opinion. If you hear it.

They happen in engine, such as they are - if you're zoomed in, or in cinematic mode, you will hear speeches. I preferred the way the old ones were structured.

Cinematic mode itself is frickin' beautiful sometimes.

There's also a lot more chatter in general. Lots and lots of lines and little details that units say to one another and to the enemy.

Hehe yeah - some of which are quite amusing, and others of which are amusingly cheesy.

I miss the cinematic speeches :(

The speeches are so subpar.

The other Total Wars had fantastic speeches.

what about when your in cinematic mode and you storm a wall on a siege tower? i remember in the gameplay at e3 the centurion turned to his men and said "be brave, and remember... we fight for rome!!!" and then the siege tower opened and they rushed them. was spectacular. where is that?

The battle speeches in previous games were very often skipped, so its no wonder CA cut them out

Did they cut them out or was it one of the many unfinished features.

Is there a way to shut up the general?

The speeches are pretty annoying and it's the same generic crap everytime

Nice necro...

Click on any other unit and the audio bark from that unit will end the speech prematurely.

Plus, honestly, you rarely even hear the speeches if you're not specifically focusing on them oô When a battle starts I'm usually too busy moving my line into a new position to actually zoom in on the General just to hear the speech.

Nothing will ever match the greatness of M2TW general speeches.
