well....when you put it in that context
And is it semper 'fee' or semper 'f-i'? and the nuclear reactor quote is 'a nuclear reactor is a lot like a woman' and not 'women' right? The sentence itself isn't grammatically correct, but I don't know if it's a reference to a movie with that direct line so just checking

OK thx, but if you look at Architecture(see pic 1) , it shows the artists name etc etc, if you want the credit that is, all you need to do is open the properties, then details, of each mp3 you make, again its up to you though.

Uh ok so I change the ding I had in my Armored Vehicles quote?
I just thought that Civ Vanilla uses 4 different dings throughout its tech quotes. But if we're using that ding for all the audio quotes then ok I'll put that in.

I think its "fy" like in Sci-Fi.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semper_fidelis
It said "a nuclear reactor is a lot like women." So I assume it is as written with all women. As for grammar, they are quotes after all. The person saying them doesn't always have good grammar (and neither do I).

Well, heck, you don't even need my help any more. Fantastic. I'll do the ones you last requested from me here, Hydromancerx, although it seems Apiculture and perhaps another or two were already handled. Opportunity! Choice!
As with last time, here is StrategyOnly's no spaces compilation:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aold99g5j1t4ckq/C2CBlurbsNoSpaces2.zip
And the individual files if they are desired for whatever reason:

@Grimith
Thanks for these. So do you not want to do any more? Cause there are a LOT of techs as you have seen from the tech tree. You helping out would just get them done quicker. And I do like your voice. But if your done then that's fine too. Your quotes will go to good use.
@BlackDragon2026
Thank you.
However in the Advanced Flight, Aerodynamics should be pronounced like this.
I also like your Russian version of Electronics.
Also you need to try to do an Austrian accent for Vertical Flight.
But seriously if anyone can do a good Arnold Accent we need to have this for the quote.
Here is the next batch.
Hypersonic Flight
The best safety device is the pilot, who, deep down, regardless of the aircraft, retains a sense of fallibility and vulnerability. No system can ever substitute for that.
Stock Brokering
One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute.
Gene Manipulation
The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress.
Artificial Organs
The current organ allocation system is unfair to the patients. You can wait literally 500 days in one part of the country, and walk off a golf course and get a liver in another part of the country.
Automated Traffic
When Solomon said that there was a time and a place for everything he had not encountered the problem of parking an automobile.
Recycling
We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.
Skyroads
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
Cryogenics
Believing cryonics could reanimate somebody who has been frozen is like believing you can turn hamburger back into a cow.
Nanotechnology
The cleanliness is essential to conducting nano-scale research.
Nanoelectronics
Nanoelectronics technology is improving the way that batteries and motors in electric vehicles are controlled, giving them a longer range on each charge.
Nanobiotics
The First Law of Nanobotics: The fusion of nanotechnology and biotechnology, now called nanobiotechnology, will result in the complete elimination of the barrier between living and nonliving materials.
Logistics
Amateurs talk tactics, dilettantes talk strategy, and professionals talk logistics.
DNA Computing
If you can write DNA, you're no longer limited to 'what is' but to what you could make.
Many thanks in advance!

I was waiting to see if strategyonly liked it. He is more picky with Aussie accents. You sound ok to me though.

Are all PH era Quotes remade?

@Grimith
So strategyonly REALLY likes your voice (and so do I) so we are requesting that you do more. Please do more!
Nanomining
When you go to nano-sized dimensions, matter acts differently.
Superstrong Alloys
We are looking for an alternative to platinum, a nickel-cobalt-copper alloy. We want some of its properties, but at a lower cost, and nickel, cobalt and copper alloys are a possible solution.
Quantum Computers
I build quantum computers that store information on individual atoms and then massage the normal interactions between the atoms to make them compute.
Androids
You were made as well as we could make you. But not to last. The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long-- and you have burned so very very brightly, Roy.
Superstring Theory
String theory is 21st-century physics that accidentally found its way into the 20th century
Modern Healthcare
Listen, if you're having trouble finding a vein for an IV, please don't page me. If you're desperate, we're lucky: this is a city hospital, there are plenty of heroin addicts who are quite adept at this.
Carpentry
The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Modern Warfare
We know now that in modern warfare, fought on any considerable scale, there can be no possible economic gain for any side. Win or lose, there is nothing but waste and destruction.
Tourism
The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist see what he has come to see.
3D Modeling
No one who has experienced the intense involvement of computer modeling would deny that the temptation exists to use any data input that will enable one to continue playing what is perhaps the ultimate game of solitaire.
Realism
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
Ion Propulsion (TECH_INTERSTELLAR_TRAVEL)
The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in.
Dualism
Now the two primal Spirits, who reveal themselves in vision as Twins, are the Better and the Bad, in thought and word and action. Between these two the wise ones chose aright; the foolish not so.
Glassblowing
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Invention
Necessity, who is the mother of invention.
Ship Building
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
Political Philosophy
When the prince needs to be deceitful, though, he must not appear that way. Indeed he must always exhibit five virtues in particular: mercy, honesty, humaneness, uprightness, and religiousness.
Free Artistry
A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.
Justprudence
If I didn't have a sense of humor, how could I stand this trial now?
Social Contract
The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.
Explosives
Kaboom?! Yes, Ricco kaboom!
Refining
There's an ocean of oil under our feet, and no one can get to it but me.
Stealth
The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth and have it found out by accident.
Many thanks in advance!
@C2C Team
Some techs have horrible quotes such as ..
- Canal Systems
- Maglev
Please find some new ones for them.

I am not sure. They should be. Since I had all the AstralPhaser quotes remade. However that doesn't mean all Prehistoric Era quotes are made. Just means his quotes were remade. And if anyone else made them they should still be there such as Gnarlo's quotes (which were really good).
On a side note we seem to have both text quotes without techs and audio quotes without techs. The main contributor to the audio quotes without techs are ones from the Realism Invidious. It also is the main source for having the audio not matching the text.
EDIT: Here are some audio that have no techs. They should probably be removed.
- AirSuperiority.mp3
- ArcheryTraining.mp3
- BessemerConverter.mp3
- Blackpowder.mp3
- ChurchArchitecture.mp3
- Cinema.mp3
- CityRights.mp3
- CoalMining.mp3
There are a lot more but its getting tedious. Maybe someone else can find them all.

Eh... I really can't pull off an Austrian accent tbh, but if you want me to try when I give you my batch of reworked quotes then alright.
As for quotes for canal systems:
"O commemorate me where there is water,
Canal water, preferably, so stilly
Greeny at the heart of summer." (http://www.tcd.ie/English/patrickkavanagh/lineswrittenonaseat.html)
or
"And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Bridge_(song))
And there is this (sorta) quote from the Confucious Institute about Yu the Great, the most important guy in East Asian Antiquity(much China pride) when it comes to canal systems:
"It was said that during the 13 years he spent taming the floods, he passed his home three times, but did not enter until his task was completed" (http://people.chinese.cn/en/article/2010-05/24/content_134193.htm)

@ hydromancerx the canal systems quote was meant to be funny, it's from the sitcom "Scrubs"
oh well here a couple more if you don't like it
Canal Systems
"The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer." - John Madden
"The sea is the universal sewer." - Jacques Yves Cousteau
"Life is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it." - Tom Lehrer
and for Magnetic Levitation, there is no actual quote about the maglev, i could find a quote about magnetics or about trains, but it wouldn't be very relevant to the actual tech. I suggest we keep the current one even if it is actually a definition of the maglev, we have another similar quote, the one about corporations.
