[Request] Make Tuetonic Knights use HRE German Accent

[Graphic]

I was kind of disappointed that the Tuetons use the Russian accented voice. Even if it's somehow historically accurate, I'd rather they use the HRE German accented voice. I'm sure its a small matter of editing a text file but I do not know how to do it.

Anyone up to it?

[Posca]

I agree. Its funny how little things like yur Teutonic knight speaking w/ a Russia accent can ruin it for you. It seems like simple sound swap, which is beyonf my expertise. Could someone please adress thi? <BUMP> <BUMP>

It seems like they didn't use it simply because on the campaign map, your units go "Ja, mein kaiser?" when the Teutons don't have kaisers. Kaiser I can live with, Germans sounding like they're from Moscow, I cannot.

you need the unpacked sound files, then make the change in the descr_sounds_accents file, then rebuild the sound files m by deleting the events.dat and events.idx. But there wil be possible side effects like the units no longer shouting 'heavy infantry' ect. This can be fixed by changing the export_descr_sounds_units_voice.

If you are inexperenced modding wise I would wait, someone will release it shortly , if it isnt done within a week or so I wiill prb do it myself ( did a similar mod for SS 4.0)

Yeah I manage to edit text files but what you described is beyond the scope of my skills. I await the release from someone

It's a temporary fix and there are some problems with missing sounds, but at least the Teutonic characters do not say 'da' when you click on them

You have no idea how annoying the german speech files are to a german native.
First of all there was no Germany until 1871. The people in the empire considered themself as Hessian, Bavarian etc. It was the Holy Roman Empire allright, but "of german nation" was added very much later by german nationalists, in the 19th century I believe. Adressing the troops as germans, a general firing up his troops by shouting "fight like true germans" belongs in a WWII movie. Playing the empire really was no fun at times, the response "Mein Kaiser" sounds like "mein Führer" to my ears. Make the troops shout "Sieg Heil", this would make the game famous among a certain group of people.
Now I play France and this fake french accent is at least fun and the speeches of the French are sometimes witty.
But I would prefer the original language anyway. I only understand english and german and only a little french, but this does not bother me.
Is there a way to make the international sound files available for download?
My wish for a future gold version of MTW2: include international sound files please. "Close Combat" had this option in the game menu which created a great atmosphere.

I agree completely as one of german heritage, this is *very* annoying and historically inaccurate.

How is "Mein Kaiser" historically inaccurate?

It wasn't the phrase, but the accent.
