Saka & Sauromatae voices missing?

[Robin112]

I love this mod!

Playing as Saka right now and I noticed that the Generals and family members aren't voiced. Sauromatae has the same issue.
Quite a shame because I find the accurate voice acting a very cool feature of the mod.

Is it my installation of the mod or are they indeed missing?

Thanks

Both factions are allocated to the 'Steppe' accent. The accent exists so you should have voices. Try the following:

Right click the desktop short cut and choose 'open file location'
From there go to the ebii\data\sounds directory and remove (move to desktop) the two events files (dat & idx)
start the mod and check again

Thank you for the quick reply!

I tried it, but unfortunately it didn't work. The 2 files seem to recreate themselves in the sounds folder every time I start the game.

They are supposed to re-create, they do so from the referencing text files. I followed up a bit further and it appears that the sound files that exist are actually mute\place holders. Which means the accent doesn't work.

To alleviate the issue you can try the following:

- locate the descr_sounds_accents.txt file in the ebii\ data directory
- open it with Notepad
- move (cut&paste) the f_sauromatae, f_saka entry in the steppe accent to the end of an accent of your choosing, eg Armenia, put a comma in front of f_sauromatae when doing so, example:

factions f_hayasdan, f_parthia, f_sauromatae, f_saka

now delete the events files again and test

Yes yes thank you!!!

That worked like a charm. Now please excuse me while I'm going to conquer the known world with my Sanskrit speaking Saka armies!

Thanks again for the help!
