@Jaeger No, you are correct. If you check the ai sound files, they have A TON of voicelines which most of them never get used,because there are so many. Dont know why they put so much effort in these.

there are hundreds of them

Btw. my favorites are Suliman (polite elderly gentleman) Henry the Navigator (the bro) and Maurice de Nassau (smartest of all bots). Sometimes I also played with Ivan, because he is so savage. Still, it is a tight one...
In the Polish dub Suliman is voiced by Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh / Emperor Palpatine, Maurice de Nassau by Governor from Pocahontas, Tokugawa by Scar from The Lion King, Ivan by... Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story (significantly more savage in our version) and Isabela by Triss Merigold from The Witcher games

Yeah, quite a lot actually.
Here I picked out some probably unused that I haven't heard:

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Give a man a boatload of fish and he will eat for a damn long time.
So ... drink any good ale lately?
You must be one of the strong silent types.
Checking your email?
It seems my long hours at the taverns have caused our defeat.
Wish I could have been more helpful. My apologies.
This is all your fault!
Alas. This will always be remembered as the war you lost for us.
Ha! We have the upper hand, despite your blunderings. Go make me a sandwich.
While I'm off winning the campaign you're off looking at all the pretty graphics.
Excellent. You truly are the master of getting booty.
Playing defensive are we? Well then I expect you to come wall around my base too.
By building walls around my base I hope to keep the enemy out. Your forces, of course, are welcome inside.
Welcome back to the battlefield, sir. I trust your time away was productive.
Nice try. Try again.
Did I give you permission to kill my villagers? Prepare to die.
Killing my defenseless settlers I see ... do not think I'll have mercy on your women and children now!
Your army is huge. I'm afraid of the number of graves I'll have to dig for them.
Charge! Cut them down and let them drown in their own blood! Charge!
I have not seen any activity from you in a while. Clearly you have taken up gardening.
Been letting your kid sister play lately?
Sooo ... which cheat codes have you been using?
Where is your artillery, pet?
Madness! You send your men to death!
Your inexperience as a commander is obvious.
Whoever put you in charge should have his head examined.
You need to do better this game if you want to keep from making me cry.
Did that wood make you smile? You will get another surprise soon.
Tell me you love me.
Such quiet. Are you mad at me?
I must think of some way to thank you.
I have let you down.
I had hoped you would be strong for me.
You are very forward to be nosing around here.
I will thank you to keep your hands off my treasures.
There is no stopping me once I get started.
If you are nice, some of this could be yours.
Mmmm. Yummy food.
Don't be mad at me, pet.
See how the warriors flock to me? Are you jealous?
Look at the wood!
I like to think it was me that made you so powerful.
Choke on your ransom, you dogs.
Hello there, little man. Are you looking for treasure?
I would love to get to know your men better, but I won't have time before they are annihilated.
Hello. Don't get too comfortable in those buildings.
You are so kind to let a lady go first.
Your kindness will not go unpunished.
Let me know when you have finished your snack.
It was nice of you to let me get some beauty sleep.
Who wouldn't want to join a queen as lovely as I am?
Whatever happened to you? I thought you used to be somebody.
Don't worry. That happens to lots of people. I guess.
Looks like couple of the first ones are Henry, rest Isabella.
I could go on, there are like thousands of lines there...

Thank you EAGLEMUT for this list haha. Also about orders like "x..., train infantry" there are messages like "You are right. Infantry backed by artillery is a very strong combination" which exist but are never said

Loool so do you guys know what determines the choice of lines, and why some lines are never said? Is it like “if ally has built 5 towers, say one of these 3 lines”?

@EAGLEMUT are these just strings or are there actually recorded audio for them?

If there's audio, I have two questions:
  • How much disk space could be saved by eliminating unused ones?
  • Could a bunch of the unused ones be enabled on EP?

@Jaeger here is an example:

      <Sentence>
        <String>I recommend you bring more cavalry to bear in this battle at once.</String>

No idea, I was only looking at the strings and guessing which aren't used from my own memory.

I think they take quite a lot of unnecessary disk space. If you install the game via disk, the progress bar stays very long at these voice lines. Most people download it with steam nowhere days, but to switch out the 3 disks during the installation is annyoing.

I really like playing Fredrick the Great tbh. He rushes hard and actually upgrades his units (some will throw colonial pikes at you 45 minutes into the game ugh)

Also his soundbytes are hilarious

Soon all you'll have to eat is sourkraut!
The outcome of this battle has filled me with Wilsmertz!
I hope that battle will not be one for the history books


I think him and dutch are the 2 best ai, but it really depends on whats in the saloon sometimes. If Maurice gets manchu or highlanders with his artillery spamming it can be very difficult- and his fully upgraded outposts are very difficult to fight under.

Generally the ai is very bad but those two i find the most challenging.

Isabella can be a bit feisty too and her pike rodelero mayan allies rush is decent sometimes

"I see you like it rough"

I think the hardest challenge you can face vs ai without just cranking up the handicap to absurd levels is to play as sioux vs Maurice on expert IMO

You mean dog soldier box vs his few villagers, dense city and artillery? That is easy @pecelot

I killed all his villagers and TCs once, using 10 shinobi and 2 monks. The real pain is Cuauhtemoc. He can surround and swarm all of your units and can produce units from 6 fortified noble huts with fertility dance on :shock:

How... how do you get a dog box when he has 10 cannon in your base at The
the 9 minute mark (and no, playing on amazonia doesnt count). Im not saying you cant beat Maurice as sioux (ive done it but its the hardest matchup imo) but its not that simple. Really depends on saloon units though

Yeah cuatamoc is brutal too because he actually uses those big buttons but fortunately only really makes meelee units so skirm art is just fine. I think ive see the ai make eagle rinners once but i would guess its just the farm button ones

I always thought including something like this in EP would be a nice addition to our existing "quality of life changes"
