General's Speech

[Feather]

Earlier today my sister ran across something very unusual when playing the Julii campaign:
After moving up to attack an army of Greeks the general opens up with this REALLY weird speech...



I've noticed the subtitles aren't in their usual position. Normally they appear at the bottom of the screen in a black box.

Neither of us has the slightest clue of what might be causing it, and we were hoping someone here would know.

Try updating the drivers for your graphics card? That tends to fix things like this.

Wow. I just noticed I worded my post all wrong.

We were actually wondering about the odd speech. A quick google search of the words in that speech showed that this was due to one of the General's traits.

Your will to help is still greatly appreciated though.

Med2 has some silly ones for generals gone mad!

On my search I found this one hilarious speech for mad generals here in Rome:

""And remember, they may have the moon people on their side, but we have lovely HATS! These hats will shield us from their fearsome gaze!""

It really got me going.

Generals in RTW have some really cool and funny speeches, based on their traits... You can find all of them in "Rome Total War/Data/text" folder in the prebattle_speeches_subtitles.txt file...

"Well ride me sideways and whip me with a winkle fork, lads! There's a lot of the bastards, aren't there? Those arseweasels are here to get away from their unfulfilled, shrill wives. Hardly surprising, as they all have tiny little manhoods! Smaller than a flea on a cockroach's bum! "

or

"My brave men! Victory shall be ours, by grace of my inspired leadership. But this means I cannot risk myself in the front line. I must remain safe, guarded by you, my loyal warriors! This is not cowardice, oh no. It is prudence, the handmaiden of victory!"

OR
"You're probably wondering why I've called you here today. I was wondering myself. Oh, yes…"

Man, I miss these so bad.
