I totally agree with you on the flippancy of the quotes. You've just spent ages discovering something for Sean Bean to say "Well, this technology practically caused the end of humanity. And in a way, for discovering this tech, you are partly to blame."

Oh thank god you got rid of the future tech and civic quotes.
you... DID do the civics too, right?

Thank goodness, the vanilla quotes was done by a senseless spermologos.

Thanks for the comments, guys, I appreciate them all. Just to let you know I've released a new version for Gathering Storm. If you're interested you can check it out at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1657562540 although if not this version still worked okay when I tested it.

I really love this and the voiceover work your dad did. Thanks!
burrik Dec 2, 2018 @ 1:53pm 
A very nice mod, thanks for your effort.
Shitdivers Feb 21, 2018 @ 9:14pm 
I like it, but the voiceover could probably be a little louder.
Echo Seven Feb 11, 2018 @ 6:47pm 
Chris, are you doing a Rise and Fall update?
Echo Seven Dec 7, 2017 @ 1:36pm 
I really appreciate the shift away from the cynical default

I don't feel that quote for Telecommunications is that relevant,as it has more to do with tactical submarines than anything else. Granted, that's only thing you unlock with that tech, but I'd prefer if the quote was about, you know, telecommunications.

Hey CharZ. Yes it seems to be a bug introduced during the Summer Patch. There's more about it here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/bug-tech-pop-up-not-appearing.620480/ All I can tell you is to hang tight and that it will probably be fixed in the next patch.
ArtemisBonesVT Oct 16, 2017 @ 12:06pm 
I'm experiencing a bug where I can't hear any quotes. I don't think it's the fault of this mod, but I don't know where else to ask for help.
kingslayer Oct 3, 2017 @ 8:03pm 
I will say that some of the quotes in Civ 6 are awkward, though I for one think Sean Bean's voice is excellent. I never thought the quotes in the game were horrible, but I do agree that previous iterations of civ had MUCH better quotes. A lesson the devs can learn is that what isn't broken, don't fix.

I will check out the mod and give you an opinion.
daft73 Oct 3, 2017 @ 4:05pm 
Class. Well done sir!
Caligula Oct 3, 2017 @ 3:53pm 
'All quotes are positive about their subject'

so...there's a positive quote about the facism civic now(one that isnt from a nazi,preferably)?
Alopen Sep 21, 2017 @ 3:58pm 
Thank you for this.
Chris  [author] Sep 20, 2017 @ 4:46am 
Thanks Tours. It sound work normally with the Summer patch yeah.
Blaskowitz02 Jul 28, 2017 @ 9:26am 
Is this mod compatible with the recent Summer 2017 patch?
Blaskowitz02 Jul 19, 2017 @ 8:38am 
This is the most necessary mods for Civ 6. I hope the creator does Civics quotes too.
John Sparta Jun 27, 2017 @ 4:59pm 
Glad you did better ones. Civ actually quoted Saul Alinsky...
The Former Jun 24, 2017 @ 8:31pm 
Thanks a ton for this! The one thing that really got my goat about Civ VI were these UTTERLY inane quotes. (George Carlin? Heralding my discovery of archery with George Carlin? Seriously?) Absolutely love this mod.

I had started up a game, forgetting that I had downloaded this, and when you spoke, I leapt out of my seat. Pleasing voice, pleasing lines, pleasing mod.
Chris  [author] Jun 4, 2017 @ 5:58am 
Ok cool that sounds good
CMDR Sheploo Jun 4, 2017 @ 5:30am 
Sometime this week I'll look into it and if I find something to make it work, I'll let you know. If you want, of course.
Chris  [author] Jun 4, 2017 @ 5:24am 
Quote selection looks like it's done by the modded TechCivicCompletedPopup.lua in OSN so that would have to be changed in order to include these quotes. But that's beyond my skill level so I can't really help you there.
CMDR Sheploo Jun 4, 2017 @ 5:11am 
Thanks for that. I can handle the coding part, just don't know how to import audio files.

As for OSN, do you have any idea how to make them compatible?
Chris  [author] Jun 4, 2017 @ 5:10am 
I haven't tested it but looking through the files I think if you had OSN installed that would take precedence so you'd get all OSN quotes. I used this guide [forums.civfanatics.com] mainly to import the audio. Others may be more helpful about modding in general but this one is specifically about sound effects.
CMDR Sheploo May 21, 2017 @ 3:21pm 
How's the compatibility with this and Our Sovereign Nation Quotes? Will it be a hodgepodge mix of vanilla and modded quotes that are picked at random?

Also, how did you get the audio files working for this? I'm interested in bringing any compatible quotes from Civ 4 and 5 but my skills end at coding it.
Chris  [author] May 2, 2017 @ 1:39pm 
It would have been your handle at the time I replied. I'm not privy to any jokes about you and Mirasmus sadly.
Sirisma™ May 1, 2017 @ 6:20pm 
Was really fucking confused as to why you called me Mirasmus. It's an inside joke with people I play TBS games with.
Chris  [author] May 1, 2017 @ 4:47am 
Thanks for liking, Wooly, I appreciate your comments too. It's just quotes for technologies so far, Tours. That's quite a good idea, Mirasmus. I think that's worth doing. Cheers, straylight, I'm glad you like it.
straylight Apr 27, 2017 @ 2:46pm 
Excellent mod, very pleasant voice, fixed one of the things that irked me the most with this game. Congrats!
Sirisma™ Apr 25, 2017 @ 2:50am 
You should make a video showcasing some of the quotes as they're read off.
Blaskowitz02 Apr 24, 2017 @ 5:31pm 
Are there Civics quotes too?
Blaskowitz02 Apr 24, 2017 @ 5:30pm 
Great mod. Makes the game more historical in feeling
Wooly Sheep Apr 24, 2017 @ 3:20pm 
Giving this a like, even though I haven't tried it out yet. Regardless of implementation, I like the idea a lot. Also, voiced? Really going the extra mile there, bud.
Chris  [author] Apr 8, 2017 @ 6:23am 
I'm glad you had fun with it, sheiky. I wasn't originally planning to do the civics as it was the tech quotes that really stood out to me but if I get the time and think I can do a good job of it I might work on that next. It is a bit quiet you're not the only one who's mentioned. I'm looking into increasing the volume a bit without introducing too many artifacts. Thanks again, Reffy. Yeah that was a memorable one.
Reffy Apr 7, 2017 @ 12:56pm 
The narration is sometimes a bit quiet, but only when there's loud themes or sounds going on. Anyway, the quotes are better than what the vanilla game came up with.

Though I miss the pleasantly depressing quote: "Thousands have lived without love, not one without water." :p
sheiky Apr 4, 2017 @ 12:01pm 
Just so you know, I am enjoying this mod. Are you planning on doing the civic tree quotes as well? One thing I've noticed is that the narration seems to be a little quiet next to the other sounds in the game although that could be my settings.
Chris  [author] Apr 3, 2017 @ 2:11am 
I might look into that, ITcore. "Nemoy for Civ VI" or something. Thanks, scottkbeers I'll pass that onto him. He'll like that. That's pretty cool about meeting Morgan Shepard, sheiky. Thanks for giving my mod a spin. You too, Reffy.
Reffy Apr 2, 2017 @ 3:19am 
The worst quote in the original game was something about her mom not figuring out a car quidance system. Which is just a dumb joke.
I believe it was for a tech in the information era.

Will check this mod out.
sheiky Apr 2, 2017 @ 12:11am 
I'm going to try this out. What annoys me most about the Civ 6 quotes is that several of the comedy ones are either quoted incorrectly or misatrributed. That drives me nuts. I'm sure it must be true of the more serious quotes as well. Plus I just miss the quotes from Civ 5. (I got to meet Morgan Sheperd, who did the narration for Civ 5, at convention a couple of years ago and it was a major geek out moment for me)
scottkbeers Apr 1, 2017 @ 10:58pm 
Wow this is the BEST mod EVER... Your dad has a gr8 voice!!! It's so PERFECT... :steamhappy:
CMDR Sheploo Apr 1, 2017 @ 6:29pm 
Have you thought about bringing over any Civ 4 or 5 tech/civic quotes and voice over that have a matching tech/civic? I'd love to hear Leonard Nemoy's voice again.
Chris  [author] Apr 1, 2017 @ 3:33am 
Thanks for the comments guys, very kind of you. I hadn't thought of leader quotes but it's a good idea. If I made something for that I think I'd make it as a separate mod so people could pick if they wanted both or just one.
#mybunny Mar 31, 2017 @ 4:23pm 
This is really great! I'm curious if you'll ever plan on doing this for leader quotes during the loading time? They feel so underwhelming compared to civ 5 leader quotes and honestly they feel like a "hey we don't wanna go too in depth about the history and accomplishments for this leader so let's just talk about what they have for abilities and units"
Kehallos Mar 31, 2017 @ 3:21pm 
Thank you so much! Restores a proper sense of history and gravitas - much better than the flippant, cheap shots in the original.
Kid Viking Mar 31, 2017 @ 5:46am 
Nicely done! Great quote choices and nice recording!
Caligula Mar 29, 2017 @ 3:16pm 
'fictional characters'...

ive never seen a civ quote so far that's nto from a real person :P
Chris  [author] Mar 29, 2017 @ 1:55pm 
haha thanks :steamhappy:
