Non English factions have English voices

Hello.


Playing this wonderful mod as Scotland, so far nearly everything is perfect, but Scots have English voices, (as well as Norway),agents, generals, real time battle troops etc. all have English accents which is immersion breaking and annoying to say the least.

Is this intended? Either way, how do I revert back to original voices?

Thanks, looking forward to your answer :)


Now, I'm off to play Bellum Crucis

welcome!
the problem is that in italian version the sound pack is very poor :( italian m2tw has no scottish, russian or mongolian accent, and also english accent is "normal" as well mediterranean accent. Only french, german and arabic works fine.

however, try this:
1- open Medieval II Total War\mods\BellumCrucis6\data\descr_sounds_accents
2- set the factions in the right place:
- scotland under accent scottish,
- mongols and cumans under mongolian,
- russia and novgorod under east_european;
- poland, hungary, denmark, barons, saxons (that is norway) should also go under east_european, or something else...
3- go to Medieval II Total War\mods\BellumCrucis6\data\sounds and delete (backup first!) the 2 files events
4- start the game
5- report here!

;)

It worked!

Thanks a ton, you rock!

Now I can get into this awesome experience.

A few more questions before I close this thread though.

Some videos(so far only those related to the crusades) are in Italian. Is there a way to make them English again? Thanks :)

And another thing - While the game is mainly in English and very playable, some text is still in Italian, and/or poorly translated. For example, the unique Scottish bowmen, Ceaddighi or something - their description is solely in Italian, and almost every historical proverb in the loading screen is not translated right :P any fix for that?

Still, a huge props to whoever did the translations(so quickly too.) Biographies, walls of historical goodies popping up every game turn...It's just amazing, specially for a history nut. :P

Oh, and one more thing.

Is there a way to start the campaign a bit later than 1155? Or increase the the number of years that pass each turn by 2?

Not that I mind the starting year, but getting to the best parts takes a while, and in the meantime, it's hard not to conquer all your neighbours :P

Oh, and any chance you might add Ragusa/Croatia in the future?

Thanks again and keep up with the brilliant work ;)

- sorry, new videos are italians only, no (easy) way to make them english
- you are using the translation from the TWCenter right? You should ask there, we don't work on translations
- you can start at any date, just open descr_strat of the campaign you want to play (BellumCrucis6\data\world\maps\campaign\custom...) and change the "start_date", but remember that all game-features (characters' age, historic events, etc.) will refer to 1155 as starting date (so if you start from 1300, mongols invasion will happen around 1400)
- sorry, no more faction-slots available! The last two factions have been chosen by the forum: they will be the Volga-Bulgars and the Lithuanians

Awesome. Thanks once more :)

Actually...the videos I've seen were not new ones.(woot, there are new ones) they were the standard jihad & crusade videos, only this time in italian.

will the troops change if I set the game's start to 1300 for example?

no they won't
you must edit export_descr_buildings (changes are no-save compatible), some units have the condition "and event_counter adXXXX", just change the date
