Hi,

First of all, I've been playing this mod for about a week now and apart from the huge waits in between turns (5 mins atm) I am very impressed with this mod.

I noticed something the other day when i clicked on a Norwegian fleet (I'm england), the captain spoke back, but something in his voice sounded familiar... Then it hit me, meerkats!!!

Seriously the scandinavian voices sound like the meerkats off the comparethemarket ads. Don't believe me? Try yourself.

But seriously I realy love this mod. The only thing I ask is is there a way to edit the campaign AI to attack different areas. Atm in my campaign Venice is charging through Germany, whereas they should be going for the eastern med islands like crete and cyprus. Could I edit it in the victory conditions?

What do you mean by meerkats?
Do u mean Merkit?(Mongolian tribe).

[Kye]

You know Meerkats. Cute, social and lovable desert rats.

Youtube "compare the meerkat" to find out what he means.

Kye.

Ok thanks for letting me know.

voice artist for Merkat Orlov is:

and if you look in your medieval 2 total war manual you'll see that Simon was indeed one of the voice artists used for M2TW.

wow what an uncanny coincidence, i expect the advert producer for that is a huge M2TW fan and decided to use the voice for the meerkat!
