Battle sounds

[Kniggit]

I was browsing an armour site (im a bit of an armourer) and someone posted this game on the off topic post for the site.

They love the game, and these guys are armour freaks and for most of them, if the armour isnt historical or cool, it ruins it for them, i have only heard one complaint out of the 40 posts on the topic.

One guy mentioned having screams and stuff for battle, not just the OHH when you hit someone, bu.....well, here is what someone said

It it just me or does it seem like snap shots with the bow are more accurate than ones you carefully aim?

Personally I'd also like to hear some screams & pleading for mercy from my victims... ummm opponents

EG: head shot to river pirate, pirare screams "Oh God My Eye!!" heh heh

Would make it really entertaineing to throw a javilin and it hits them in the arm, and the guys says "oh croike me arm!" like that moron steve erwin the croc hunter

feel free to chip in you own screams lol

Like famous quotes

"tis but a scratch"

"Its just a fleswound"

Maybe have an ocasional moron who is totally clueless

"hey, is that my arm over there? AHHHH"

"i cant feel my leg. WHERE DID THAT JAVILIN COMEFROM?"

you NEED to have flamin arrows and shoot a guy. It would be hilarious to see some screamin maniac runnin around the battle field and he is a living human fireball


You can have people stub thier toes on a rock

"Bloddy hell!" then you peg a jarid at him...

Any more ideas?

I was thinking about this while playing earlier. Some voice work for the game could be a great addition. The problem is that quite often voice acting in a game can be...bad and do more harm than good.

One thing worth looking into, in my opinion, would be voices for units when charging. I like to play with a party of knights. When I use the 'hold ground' or 'follow me' commands at the beginning of battle, wait for the moment, then press the 'charge' command, I would love to hear a great yell go up from my troops. There's something disheartening and disappionting hearing nothing and charging towards the enemy in silence. A battlecry would be most welcome, or perhaps even just a "RAAARGH!"

Sword sisters could have the classic Xena: Warrior Princess warcry.

As hilarious as adding monty python quotes to the game might be, I doubt it is going to happen. The ability to lose a limb or cut one off from your enemy would be entertaining.

Yeah. Twenty women screaming 'AYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYYIII!' as hard as they can is really a dream come true. I'd shoot them myself.

I fully agree with this, I have seen several games that had really great gameplay have the illusion that great music, atmosphere and graphics strive to create come shattering to the ground because of bad voice acting. I think the sounds in the game now are pretty great, so if that quality can be maintained then I'm all for it.
