[BtS] DIPLOMACY: a mod for Diplogames!

[IgorS]

Very nice.

It uses Boudica's animations.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

What about these lines for Santa Anna of Mexico?

First Contact Text:
Welcome to the [OUR_EMPIRE]. I am [CT_NAME], savior of the motherland and conqueror of the west! If you want to be friends, I am willing to comply. Challenge me and I shall slit your throat!

Refuse to Talk:
Call me when you've lost half your land to [OUR_CIV_SHORT]. Then we shall talk.

No Peace:
I'm on the winning side of the battle here, so no thanks. I prefer to slit your throat.

Friendly Greeting:
Welcome again, [CT_NAME]! What do you say we bring our strongest, bravest prize roosters her and have a good old-fashioned cockfight!

Annoyed Greeting:
Well? Out with it! I've got a bunch of pesos on my rooster tonight!

Demand Tribute Weaker:
[CT_NAME], I won our last cockfight! I believe you owe me something here.

Demand Tribute Equal:
Drop the chalupa, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Stronger:
My sword is perilously close to your neck, [CT_NAME]. Wouldn't it be wise to give me this?

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I've got an idea for the Deluxe Pack that pertains to music.

Give Ronald Reagan "Stars and Stripes Forever" as his music. Change Lincoln's music to the Battle Hymn of the Republic, and give his old music to another leader, say King or Trudeau.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

What do you think of this for Menzies of Australia?

First Contact Text:
G'day, mate, and welcome to [OUR_CIV_SHORT]. My name is [OUR_NAME] and I'm glad to meet you. What do you say we celebrate this occasion by having a pint?

Refuse to Talk:
Why don't you shoot through like a Bondi tram, [CT_NAME]?

No Peace:
There will be no peace until you're hit for six, [CT_NAME].

Friendly Greeting:
G'day again, [CT_NAME]. You're really the cat's pyjamas! Care for a vegemite sandwich?

Annoyed Greeting:
What do you want, you dingo?

Demand Tribute Weaker:
I'll be really cut if you don't give me this, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Equal:
I recommend you give me this, [CT_NAME]. You don't want to get into a biffo with me.

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Give me this or you'll be all bunged up from getting your bum kicked!

If we ever start adding optional music, I think I have something that could be useful for Stalin (or for the Soviets in the just for fun pack.)
I have a couple of Red Army Choir CDs. I tend to pop them in when I play as Stalin, neat experience.
I just wish I could do the same for other civs. Closest I've come is Flogging Molly & The Pogues for Ireland and Rush for Canada. ...then again, I listen to Rush for -most- video games as it is.

You need to get some Chieftains.

Got Chieftains and Dubliners as well.

This all leads me to something I have been thinking about but haven't mentioned yet; won't all of this music and select/order sounds make the mod way too large? Just a thought.

That's why I'd just make it an optional add-on.
I'd imagine a good chunk of Civ4 players just play with their own music as it is.


Also, did some thinking over.
The only leaders I'd -really- suggest changing the traits of to reflect historical accuracy:
Mao (Phi/Org, which I believe he used to be)
Washington (Cha/Org or Fin/Org as he used to be)
Ahmadinejad (Ind/Cha)
Saladin (Spi/Cha. One of the things Saladin is best known for is being a leader so diplomatic that his enemies saw him more as European than Arab.)

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Maybe we should have a thread for select/order sounds for this mod, telling people specifically what we need.

 

[strategyonly]

1st Module Pack, Module Pack II, The Americas, Europe I, Europe II files are not there anymore??

 

[The Capo]

1st Module Pack, Module Pack II, The Americas, Europe I, Europe II files are not there anymore??

The Americas is (are?) back up. The others will follow suit.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Here's our select/order sound status:

American Civs:

Apache- Apache speaker needed.

Argentina- Porteño speaker needed.

Brazil- Brazilian Portugueses speaker needed.

Canada- Canadian English speaker needed. We can accept Québécois French, but English language sounds are a must. If we get both sounds, we'll pair them together.

Chile- Chilean Spanish speaker needed.

Cuba- Cuban Spanish speaker needed. If you live in Florida and are Cuban, or you have friends who are Cuban, this is your chance.

Gran Colombia- Colombian or Venezuelan Spanish speaker needed.

Haiti- Haitian creole speaker needed.

Iroquois- Onondaga, Mohawk, etc. speaker needed.

Mexico- Mexican Spanish speaker needed. I wonder why this has been a problem, seeing how many Mexicans there are in the world.

Puerto Rico- Coming soon

African Civs:

Berbers- Berber speaker needed.

Congo- Kongo speaker needed.

Nubia- Not sure.

Songhai- Songhai speaker needed.

Asian Civs:

Australia- Australian English Speakers needed.

Philippines- Tagalog speaker needed.

Polynesia- Hawaiian or Samoan speaker needed.

Siam- Thai speaker needed.

Timurids- Uzbek speaker needed.

Vietnam- Vietnamese speaker needed.

European Civs:

Armenia- Armenian speaker needed.

Austria- Bavarian or Austrian German speaker needed.

Denmark- Danish speaker needed.

Bulgaria- Bulgarian speaker needed.

Finland- Finnish speaker needed.

Hungary- Already have.

Ireland- Irish English speaker needed.

Italy- Already have.

Lithuania- Lithuanian speaker needed.

Minoa- Not quite sure, but Cretan Greek might be a good idea.

Poland- Already have.

Romania- Romanian speaker needed.

Scotland- Scottish English speaker needed

Serbia- Already have.

Sweden- Already have, but if any Swedes are willing to do them, great.

Switzerland- Swiss German speaker needed.

Teutonic Order- We need a German speaker from the East, preferably from the Pomeranian region.

Ukraine- Already have.

Middle Eastern Civs:

Assyria- Already have.

Hittites- Not sure.

Iran- Not quite sure.

Israel- Already have sounds in Hebrew.

Phoenicia- Not sure.

 

[IgorS]

Here's our select/order sound status:

First of all, why did you put Australia and Polynesia under "asian civs"?
Anyway, I can do even more select/order sounds if you provide me with sentences. I can do many European languages and also Uzbek (I am from Uzbekistan, I just don't speak the language unfortunately). If you can find me some Uzbek sentences I can record them, too bad Uzbek is not yet in the Google translator. I will take a look at your order/select thread sentence list and I'll see what I can do with what you've already collected.

 

[IgorS]

Ireland- Irish English speaker needed.

What's wrong with Irish Irish?

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Australian and Polynesia are in the Asian list because I couldn't bring myself to make an Oceanian list with only two civs.

And well, we already have Celtic tongues for the Celts. I think the Irish brogue is so ubitquitous that we have to do the sounds in Irish.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I took some Garibaldi quotes from a mod. Do you like that?

First Contact Text:
Saluti! I am [OUR_NAME] of the [OUR_EMPIRE]. I would be honored to be your friend, but he who wrongs someone has to expect something in retaliation. Please keep that in mind.

Refuse to Talk:
Mamma mia! What the heck are you doing here?

No Peace:
Real power can not be given. It must be taken, [CT_NAME]! And the [OUR_EMPIRE] intends to do that!

Friendly Greeting:
CT_NAME]! What would you like? Wine? Spaghetti? Pasta? Pizza?

Annoyed Greeting:
[CT_NAME]... well, would you like to eat some poisoned pizza?

Demand Tribute Weaker:
If you help me a bit, [CT_NAME], maybe I'll try to get you some free pizzas sometime, all right?

Demand Tribute Equal:
My friends are few, but those few that I have, [CT_NAME], I find generous.

Demand Tribute Stronger:
The [OUR_EMPIRE] is strong and mighty, our armies able to defend our beloved nation to the last man. I believe that [CT_CIV_SHORT] should acknowledge that somehow. Do you agree, [CT_NAME]?

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I wrote these quotes for Nabuchadnezzar. I made him very arrogant and tyrannical, like he's protrayed in the Bible, as well as fit in some references from the Bible, like the furnace and the idol.

First Contact Text:
The most magnificent and not-at-all-bad looking king of the [OUR_EMPIRE] welcomes you, lowly mortal, to his domain. Let us go to my palace and discuss many important things - in particular, me.

Refuse to Talk:
You are a lowly clod in the ground who does not deserve to talk to a ruler of my stature. Get out before the guards execute you!

No Peace:
There is no god who will deliver you from my hands, [CT_NAME]. You shall most surely perish!

Friendly Greeting:
Good day, [CT_NAME]. Have you come to bow down to this marvelous golden statue of myself? I think it reflects my flawless profile, don't you think so?

Annoyed Greeting:
Whatever you have to say, [CT_NAME], say it quickly, before your yammering drives me crazy and reduces me to eating grass off the fields like an ox.

Demand Tribute Weaker:
I think a king as glorious as me deserves a little gift from time to time. Don't you agree, [CT_NAME]?

Demand Tribute Equal:
My furnace is fired up and ready to burn you. I advise you to give me this if you don't want the flames to consume you.

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Give me the magnificent king what he wants or he will cut you into pieces and turn your home into a dunghill!

I'd help with the sounds if I could, since I -can- speak a handful of languages, but sadly I'm cursed with a very, very bad voice. I alternate between Mitch Hedberg and Jerry Seinfeld, depending on mood.
