    Default Best Speech you ever heard.

    Whats the best speech you ever heard a general give? describe whatever he said as best as you can and what faction you where playing as and fighting against.
    I check into small hotel a few kilometers from Kiev. It is late. I am tired. I tell woman at desk I want a room. She tells me room number and give key. "But one more thing comrade; there is one room without number and always lock. Don't even peek in there." I take key and go to room to sleep. Night comes and I hear trickling of water. It comes from the room across. I cannot sleep so I open door. It is coming from room with no number. I pound on door. No response. I look in keyhole. I see nothing except red. Water still trickling. I go down to front desk to complain. "By the way who is in that room?" She look at me and begin to tell story. There was woman in there. Murdered by her husband. Skin all white, except her eyes, which were red. I tell her I don't give a . Stop the water trickling or give me refund. She gave me 100 ruble credit and free breakfast. Such is life in Moscow

    The one were the man is like, "No need for words, KILL THEM ALLL!!!!"Then oddly he goes into a speech. He was venetian. Sadly, i have only heard this once, and the man died on a wall of pikes later during the battle.

    I'd like to implement a simple speech into my game that all the generals use...

    "Kill or be killed".

    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
    yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
    but the union makes us strong.

    A Scottish general against an English army:

    'Before you are nothing but a bunch of moon-faced zanies and English sheep!...' and some other stuff I can't remember. I'm not sure what a zany is, but I need to use it more often.
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

    It's a tie between "God help us if my mother in law is on their side" and "SNAAAAAAAAKE!"

    In second video, there is man who made speeches for Napoleon Total War too. I didnt notice him at start, but if you are hearing closely then you listen that it is him.But when he stops that child accent then you hear goodly that it is him. I like that man voice.

    OMG, I was wondering if I should get this game, and these speeches may have tipped the balance for me. I think the reference to the enemy as 'goat fondling ass-monkeys' did the trick!

    In my experience, it's high dread, low piety, and hilarious traits.

Their task never has been, and never will be easy, because the two contrary elements, of which our existence and the nature of society is composed, demand the employment of different means. In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.
