    Icon3 Speech Crafters of Middle-Earth

    Hi all,

    Daradain and I are trying to make a Speeches SubMod. But we need to get a team together. We are recruiting for the following roles:

    - Speech Writers

    - Modders/Codders - who know how to mod Third Age Total War and will know how the speeches system works.

    - Voice Artists - you will need a decent microphone:

    Rohan x2
    Gondor x2
    Dwarfs x2
    Silvan Elves x2
    High Elves x2
    Eriador x2
    Dale x2
    Mordor x2
    Orcs of the Misty Mountains x2
    Isengard x2
    Rhun x2
    Harad x2

    Possible Orc Speeches:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Let's at 'em, lads! There's butcher's work to be done!

    So this is their army, huh? That's not an army! Someone get my carving knife, that's a bunch of ruddy little runts waitin' to be on MY dinner plate! And if you fight good 'n' well, laddys, maybe I'll leave you all some of the scraps! Heh huh!

    Right here, this is half the orcs we can muster! That means we CAN'T lose! Those imbeciles over there, they don't stand a CHANCE! We'll swarm over 'em! We'll rip 'em new backsides! They're going to have so many swords up their asses, there isn't gonna be enough room for the ones we're gonna stick in their dicks!

    Agh, no sleepers here! No whiny little lazy bastards in these ranks! If I see one of you lot turn his grimy little tail and run off, it'll be his head on a pike on a row with the rest of those thick-headed dopes on the other side of the field!

    Oh, they've got TROLLS in their ranks, do they? Useless dolts with big hammers, ain't nothin' we can't handle! Hold your ground and let the bowmen do their work, and we'll string 'em up all the same!

    Our scouts have *snort* FEARFULLY informed me, that those desert dogs over there have brought oliphaunts to the fight! Peh! Just think'a the steaks we'll rip outta those things! Oliphaunt ribs, lads, and hunks'a meat bigger than your heads apiece! I'm slobberin' just THINKIN' about it! Bring those oversized cattle down!

    We're fightin' DWARVES, men! Raaaagh! Thinka Azog and Bolg and all those other good orcs these chubby bearded dimwits managed to stab in the ass! I say let's send 'em runnin right back to their pits!

    Elves, eh? Elves! All prancin' about, all fancy and cheery with their bows and shiny gold armor and pointy little ears... A bunch'a bloody cute fairies! The first orc to bring me one of their heads on a platter, DOESN'T get fed to the wargs! HaHA!

    Gondor! We're fightin' GONDOR? Oh, my, lads, I'm sorry - I thought I organized a proper fight for you today! Looks like we'll just have to deal with these scraps and move on to killin' somethin' that doesn't look like I just sha.t it out a bit later! (forum censored it?)

    I see the enemy has horsemen! Who needs 'em when you've got trolls on your side?

    The Master wants this job done, and he wants it done well! So your heads' on the line, lads! Get it done or we're ALL gonna answer to him!

    And the bad news, boys - we outnumber these blokes half near ten ta' one! That means less meat for the lot of you, so best beat each other to the kill, eh!?

    There's more of them than us, but we got CUNNIN'! Ha HA! And I got that good ol' sense in my head that tells me they're gonna have swords in theirs! ADVANCE!

    So let's get 'em! Slice 'em to pieces! hack 'em to bits! Crush 'em to dust! Give 'em a proper beatin'! Kill 'em! KILL 'EM ALL!

    And I say to you - the age of men is over! The age of dwarves is over! The age of elves - OVER! There is no age left for ANY of them... no life... no mercy! The age of the ORC has begun!

    (and of course, the COWARDLY orc general...) We don't stand a chance! A BLOODY CHANCE! Lookit 'em! They're gonna hack us to pieces! I'm getting out of 'ere the first chance I get!


    Please reply or PM us if you are interested in working with us.

    I may help doing some speeches though they are hard, get back to me about where to submit them and - oh just pm me.

    By the way, has everyone heard:

    Patch 1.3 currently under construction:
    - a completely overhauled Dale faction
    - several new units and some new skins
    - map improvements
    - better battle map balancing
    - more realistic Elves: smaller/stronger units, more expensive, longer build times
    - more features and bug fixes

    Greetings!

    I will be happy to do as many speeches as I can. I have a talent for imitating different types of speech, so I should be able to do quite a few. However, my voice does not exactly have a very elvish sound, so I might have some trouble with them. However, I can do orcs, dwarves, men of different regions, what ever.

    I can also do a bit of writing myself, though I would prefer others do that.

    I just wanted to leave it in gen. discussion for a while so it gets noticed (not that the submod section isn't active). Who knows maybe something will come of it.

    In any case moving now. Though I've left a long redirect notification so it should linger in gen. discussion for quite a while.

    Lol honestly, this makes no sense, it'd be a lot easier and a lot more professional if someone just nicks the speeches straight out of the movies.
    Spoilers are evil, read spoiler below to find out why.

    You want to hear Theoden's DEATH DEATH DEATH!!! speech every time you attack a 1 unit stack of orcs as Rohan? - Beside there won't be enough for every faction anyway!

    The ones from the movie can be used if they ever get historical battles implemented...

    Sounds like a good idea

    As long as the accents are good.

    You could always steal soundbytes from the films...

    Yes.

    So do you need speech writers AT ALL?

    I'm sure there are plenty of clips that can be used for variety.
    And from other LotR games too..
    I've seen things taken from Battle for Middle Earth already. The Elves saying 'It is not honourable to be hiding like this' is frankly wrong.

    I don't see that it breaks copyright if you don't earn anything.

    Technically, it does break copyright law. Even though you aren't profiting from it, New Line is potentailly losing profits (I know it's rediculous, but that's how these things work...).

    Here's some great orc speeches (in written form) from on old thread. I remembered it when I saw you're doing this: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=254811&highlight=speeches

    Would be great if they could finally be used.
