The greek was the main leanguage in the byzantine empire before Herakelios, he just replace the latin from the administration.

Βασίλειος ΄Β I dont remeber any one sayng other wise in here.

Byzantines spoke Greek because they were Greeks. If you want to rewrite history, do it to another planet.

No update is needed, just copy and paste the Mod files into the directory in the description.

Is it updated?

rasputin666 Yes they are. After installing the mod with out changing the volume i could barely hear their voices. I also tested this by comparing them with the britons. I think you could increase the volume up to 10% or 15% more. But either way thank you for your work I appreciate it!

For some reason the female-Byz-fish-sound is located totally at random away from all the other Greek files and I couldn't find it, bar spending all day listening to thousands of sound-files individually.
I used Chiron's death grunt because there weren't enough sound files otherwise to replace the originals. Yeah it seems they got native Greeks for villagers and used Americans for all the NPCs.

But otherwise it works as intended no? So many users gave this mod downvotes because they didn't read description explaining that sound-mods have to be installed manually now.

^0|KLC| ^4E^7L^8oyros - Is it that low? I manually lowered it because AoM sounds are more than 5 times louder than AoE sounds and that fitted in much worse.

Well, at least someone finally attempted to tackle this issue! A decent attempt, but still slightly faulty. Apart from the already pointed out issue of Italians also speaking Greek with this shared mod, villagers still use the Latin 'capto' when fishing. Also, monks use Chiron's dying grunt as one of their normal 'speech' sounds - the person who voiced Chiron in AOM was clearly an Anglophone and not a native Greek speaker.
But at least you did "something"! Even the official AOE2 Greek language patch STILL has our people speaking in Vulgar Latin, which is as much an anachronism for us as it is for mediaeval Italian states. While the Italians are portrayed as looking even more like East Romans than the so-called "Byzantines".... which is pretty ironic, eh?

Volume is too low, like too low, like VERY LOW

Probably because they took the sounds from Age of Mythology as well. I don't like aoe3 though.

The words and voices sound really simillar to the ones of the wars of liberty mod in aoe3

Thank you for making this in any event! It's at least good to have the choice if nothing else.

So the Italians and Byzantines both have to share the same sound files, regardless of if the language is Latin or Greek? That's a genuine pity. I wonder if some audio equivalent of IA can be made, although it would really only be just for one civ.

No, it is hardcoded. That's why I left a backup folder.

Is that any possibility that we cas separate sounds file for Byzantines from Italians?

Is that a question? You have to install the files manually because the latest updates disabled Mods that use WAV. files.

UPDATE!!!

Проверьте инструкции. Вам нужно скопировать файлы в папку.

steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\drs\sounds

Да, че-то не сработала мне. Гуд мод в любом случие, буду подписан все равно.

Да, не знаю почему нет.

Alright, it works fine now. :) Well done and thank you!

Should it work with Vanilla version of game?

Fixed that, I copied my PC's 'Latin' folder that had actual Latin exercises my mistake.

Great mod, this is something that's always kind of bugged me when playing Byz.

I found the Latin (backup) folder, but there are only some pdf files inside. Did I miss something?
Sorry for the amount of questions :P

Yes just overwrite when copypasting the Mod's Greek files over the Latin ones in the directory listed above or vice-versa.

I see. So I just have to copy paste the latin dialogue files right?

I added a Latin backup folder if you want to reverse it.

By installing it and by doing the copy-paste thing, the latin dialogue is completely removed right?

Byzantion?

That called themselves Ρωμαιοι ye smartarse.

Lol at 'byzantium'. Should be 'byzantos' if it's greek. ;)

@Gabrielino77 Ah I see. Should write to Cysion & convince him to make this mod official for the Byzantines. Not like it'll upset anyone since it's not a balance change or anything.

excaliber45, that is because they both initially spoke latin, so when you change one of their languages, it changes both.

Now here's an interesting problem: when playing as the Italians, I get Greek-speaking Italians. Hmm... disabling does nothing.

It's not working since the Steam Workshop no longer supports .WAV files since Rajas.

@Fenomeno, it was actually official. As the creator states, Heraclius made it official in the 6th century since nobody spoke Latin to begin with. Greek was the Lingua Franca of the Eastern Mediterranean since Alexander the Great. The Romans never bothered to change it since they also knew Greek. When the seat of the empire was transfered from Rome to Constantinople, Latin became the court language to keep a sense of political continuity. 300 years later it became obsolete as it didn't catch on with the people (especially the Greek core of the Empire) and there was never an attempt to do so.

I finally got it to work by manually copying the files into the location as you said. It took a couple tries but it's fixed. Thank you :)

Well, It was correct. Greek for Byzantines was not official. But mod is nice.
