Wow, these are some good lines. I hope you have some in mind for the Haradrim Lancers. (cavalry) I hated how EA made a mix of Haradrim and Easterling quotes.

[Myrdin]

lol . . .


well i dunno, i basically like what they say - though they were roughly added to Rotwk as modor cawa. i liked those lines.
i ll listen to it, and think about some changes, but not promising anything.
first, the lines for absolutely new units must be done, then i look what i could do ( if needed ) for the units like this

[tylerman29]

maybe you might get beta tester:P

[Devon]

It's always possible.


Though I'm surprised with your drawing skills you haven't attempted to make any elf banners, which is one thing we need.

[Fyro11]

as for the " our arrows will darker the sun "

im making small change.
This line goes to the Haradrim Archers, and ( as for Rhun units are my next target ), the line " The sky will rain death " goes to the only Rhun ranged they have - theyre basic archers.

for the mellee, im planing on using some line that quote things like " Sauron will rule ! " or " We are the hounds of darkness " and soo on - as far i know ( correct me pls, if im wrong, soo i can change the lines if needed ) sauron had bigger influence in Rhun than Harad ( though it was nicely influenced too ) . . . ?

though the corsairs are coming after the Rhun, i already have some nice stuff ( though it may be changed ), for the new brigand unit

Corsair Brigands : " Silent blade cuts am best " , " Tell me when that hurts . . . hahaha too late " " Eye for eye and stab for you " "Backstab them ! " and few when attackthe building, retreat and fear speeches : " Chop and slash, hit and dash " " pull back to the shadows " " Im a bad boy, but ooo that ones EVIL ! "
when you imagine it with the funny corsair voices, its not that bad

The grammar's kinda messed up, please, usually you take offence very quickly, so I don't intend to cause any offence to you. Just saying this so the sentences make sense. I like your imagination, btw. Make sure you have plenty of saliva in your mouth when you're doing the Corsairs since they are basically pirate raiders, haha.

"The sky will rain death"- fine
"Sauron will rule"- fine
"We are the hounds of darkness"- hounds sounds kind of silly imo, maybe "We tread the path of darkness!"?

"Silent blade cuts am best"- rephrase to "Silent blades cut the best"
"Tell me when that hurts... hahaha too late"- fine
"Eye for eye and stab for you"- rephrase to "Eye for an eye" - should not include the stab part in the same voice, trust me it doesn't work properly
"Backstab them"- doesn't make sense, could change to "Stab them in the backs if you can!" or "We are backstabbers muhahaha" -or have both!
"Chop and slash, hit and dash"- fine
"Pull back to the shadows"- I love this one
"I'm a bad boy, but ooo that one's EVIL"- wow I totally love this, though bad 'boy' has two meanings: either gangster, or a naughty little kid. So you could change to 'bad person' or 'bad man'. But yeh, otherwise this is totally cool and original thinking.

[Myrdin]

well thx yoda, but you saw the horrible quality of the pics. i posted, maybe i could use a scanner this time, instead of camera, but the one i got is pretty old soo dunno if the value of the pictures would improve.

more or less, im not much into elfs, but well yeh maybe i could try to do the baner ( though i have enough work for now ).
Is there a date till when it needs be done ?

and which of the subfactions, needs banner ?

[mike_]

Great job so far Myrdin. Some really original lines in there - I for one see the Corsairs as being the closest non-Easter Egg thing to comic relief in the mod.
Please, continue.

[Devon]

All three of them need unique banners

We don't care about quality, shikari or someone will most likely rework them any we. We just want concepts

[Myrdin]

ok i see what ideas i get in school . . . . . lol what to tell you, some classes are boring, soo its good thing that i can spend time on " usefull " things

as for the elfs : though i know its written somewhere, would take too long to search : can you plaese tell me ( shortly ) the subfactions name and what are they like ? soo i can get the proper banner for them

something like

"Rivendell - heavy units, no stealth, relly on strong combat unis"
i could then maybe imlement some of the " philosophy " of the factoin into the banner
thx, i know its nuisance to you guys, i appriciate it

well budies and m8
some time ago, i took the chance, to create new speeches for MotE.
right now, i was able ( as few remember, had to start again, - reainstalled windows = empty PC ), to get the speeches in again, and send them already to our skilled skinner - shikary

as for a little taste of is done, the unit and few speeeches :
MotE builder : "I build for East" " Through the Sands " " Im listening "
Haradrim Wariors : " Back to Desert " " Chieftan calls " " Your comand ? "
Haradrim Guards :
( also name the - Hardrim Guardians of Black serpent ) : " Serpent Guide us " " Protect the Citadel " " Serpent Comands "
Haradrim Archers : " The fangs of serpent come to your biding " " Sky will rain Arrows/Death " " We shall shot from there "
and lastly mhh Black Serpent Guard : " We are one with desert " " Not even dust will remain " " Hung begins ! "

next ill be doing the Rhun speeches, more concentrated around sauron, after that the Corsairs brigands ll be next, and lastly the Sorcerrers

Just thought I'd kinda guide you here as well.

"I build for East"- change to "I build for the East"
"Through the sands"- change to "Through the sand"
"I'm listening"- fine

"Back to desert"- change to "Back to the desert"
"Chieftain calls"- change to "The chieftain calls"
"Your command"- fine

"Serpent guide us"- change to "Guide us, Serpent"
"Protect the citadel"- fine
"Serpent commands"- change to "The Serpent commands us"

"The fangs of serpent come to your biding"- change to "The fangs of the Serpent come to our bidding"
"Sky will rain Arrows/Death"- "The sky will rain arrows/death"
"We shall shot from there"- change to "We shall shoot from here"

"We are one with desert"- "We are at one with the desert"
"Not even dust will remain"- "Not even their dust shall remain!"
"Hung begins"- not sure what is meant by this

Anyhow you're doing good, man. It's a huge task recording so many voices, sooo...yeh, I hope it goes well.

[Devon]

A couple of those are questionable fyro They work grammatically, even if it's not perfect english, they would likely speak in a dialect.


Through the sands is fine for example.

The fangs of the serpent come to your bidding would be better imo.

We are one with the desert is fine also.

Not even dust will remain is fine.

The hunt begins.

Imo...those are just dialect and style things, and don't need to be changed.


Rivendell is the heaviest faction, strong armor, swordsmen, and cav.

Lorien is the middle faction, more of an all around faction.

Mirkwood is lightest, fast units, stealth based, strong attack but weak armor.

Fair enough, I guess. Just ignore my posts Myrdin, I like the originality.

[Devon]

Most of your corrections were good...don't just ignore them

[Myrdin]

well thx guys, - as fot the " The ", i kicked it out few times, to give it the feeling of dialect, and the few lines where the words followed each other in " abnormal " way, i got inspired there by the forefathers, and how they used to speak ( like in Braveheart )

thank you yoda, for thoose short infos. this may souns stupid - would it be bad, to use elemental sighn in the erb ?
as much as i know there are three " siege " sorcerrer guys, who use Earth, Fire and Water ( dunno which one is for each subf. )


as for now i done all the lines for Brigands ( swapped them with Rhun, after all brigands are only one " unit ", while rhun needs new speeches for like 4-5 units ).

started with the War chariots ( or how they are called )
little taste of whats there - alert, move, and attack: ( each unit has for thoose action around 2-3 lines, as ussuall i post just one )
" Riders of Doom ! ", " Crack the ribbons ! (nott sure about this, could find better word in my vocab) ", " Death on wheels " - now dont imagine Grim reaper on motorcycle , if you do it too often ill propably change it to something diferent.

[Devon]

It would be crack the reigns....pronounced rains.

[Myrdin]

ahh wait, thats not what i meant - i mean the thing that has the horse bound to his head, and the rider holds it " rings " or how its called
vocab told be ribbons, soo now i dont raelly know

[TowerGuard418]

I think those are reins, like Yoda said. But I think it's spelled reins.

Edited by TowerGuard418, 31 May 2008 - 06:52 PM.

[Fyro11]

Rein

• noun 1 a long, narrow strap attached at one end to a horse’s bit, used in pairs to guide or check a horse. 2 (reins) the power to direct and control.

[Myrdin]

cool, soo after all this i can correct the line - " Crack te reins ! "

thx for the help people, the vocab i have will propably end in junk
ill ask you for help again, if i have some problems

Edited by Myrdin, 31 May 2008 - 07:53 PM.

[Fyro11]

Correction: Crack teh reins! Hehe..
