Has anyone noticed how comical the original RTW intros were?

[Crymson]

Sheesh. How bloody melodramatic..

The Carthaginian narrator sounds like he's being repeatedly kicked in the groin.

I watched them again yesterday after a year or so. The carthaginian voice-over was pure gold. I can guess they tried to make him sound different from the Eastern narrator, but that was so bloody over-the-top. Otherwise the intros are fine, except maybe the pink pyjamas, but that's not the intros fault, especially the barbarian and roman intros are plain awesome. I still get goosebumbs from the Sons of Mars-intro.

Nice point, Crymson. I still hear in my head the narrator saying "we, the Parthians, love money" (or something similar, I had the Spanish version).
And we you finally played with Parthia you were bankrupt in turn 2.

Ya know I love Gladiator and the opening battle is fantastic! BUT I think the roman army looks to small, like when there advanceing it looks like 1000 men in small thin lines advanceing.

Bloody foreigners! They have the cheek to go to war against us - or worse, get the other people to do it for them - and they expect to be treated like men. Well, I say this: treat them all like cattle to be butchered!

[Crymson]

Just FYI, I was talking about the campaign introductions.

I.E. the Carthaginian, in a ludicrously high voice, "last night, I had a DREAM! There were children screaming and I saw the destruction of our city! Why would Ba'al send me this dream? He is not a cruel god.." etc. The guy gets a bit emphatic. Sorry, buddy, but dreams are neurons bouncing around in your head.
