missing campaign/battle voices

Hello,

after quite some time I came back to playing some M2TW and found myself quite interested in playing EB II (2.3)

However upon starting the campaign some of my units/agents/generals as sauromatae seem to be "muted" as in they dont say anything when I click on them, give them commands or the order them to move. Meanwhile when I do this to other units, like greek mercenaries and rebel generals they respond. its probably not unique to sauromatae but I couldnt test all factions yet.

I remembered this was an issue for SS 6.4 too, since I play with a german M2TW Kingdoms gold version, however there was a translation mod who had a workaround (I also had to delete the event files in data/sounds as part of the workaround...however upon trying this on EB II it didnt help, neither do I really understand how the translation mod fixed the issue, so I cant help myself.

I am fluent in english, I dont really care if the game has german or english voices, texts etc - but as someone who likes the immersion its kinda awful to have muted units.

Is there a workaround or do I need to purchase maybe the steam M2TW version to fix this? (maybe reduced during steam summer sale)

This isn't a "bug", not everything has audio. We don't use vanilla files for sound, so until we get our own voice-work done, those things will remain silent.

oh well, when I think about it this makes sense....

I assumed the units/generals/agents would at the least have generic voices.

I didnt think of this as a bug, just a problem due to me having the german m2tw version.

Audio is one of those areas that has fallen behind other progress. Though we have recently picked up some voice acting, so expect this to change.
