I've done the religion ones.

Thanks, I made those back in July and figured that I'd get quotes for them soon, but totally forgot.

 

[SilentConfusion]

I've done the religion ones.

Thank you Yudishtira and DH.

 

[Yudishtira]

Any more that need doing?

 

[SilentConfusion]

Any more that need doing?

Those are the ones that said TBD. I'll look for others.

[Yudishtira]

Pictographs currently (v29 vanilla) has the same quote as Writing. I suggest you have something from this instead.


Link to video.

For example:
"Everyone needs their ABC,
It's as simple as 'vulture, foot, basket'."

 

[MagnusIlluminus]

As I'm building my spreadsheet, I've found a few techs that have the same quote.

Carving and Simple Wood Working have the same one (the one saying that "History teaches us that war is a bad way to carve out peace" or words along those lines). That seems slightly appropriate for Carving as the word 'carve' is used, but SWW doesn't deal with war in any direct way. If someone could find something better for SWW, I'd be happy to record it.

Similarly, Weaving, Binding, and Adhesives all use: "Man does not weave this web of life. He is merly a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." Again, reasonable for Weaving as it uses the word, but really not for the others. I'm reasonably certain that quote is also used for a few other techs as well, but can't recall which ones offhand. Again, if someone who is good at figuring out quotes could find unique ones for Binding and Adhesives, I'll be happy to record them.

I did! I will post the whole file with

-Techs with no written Quote
-Techs with redundant Quote
-Techs with a different written and audio Quote

here on saturday! [Techs up to the TH era]

(also, keep in mind that there are some Techs I might missed. But still its a very long list)

Glad you do this!

 

[MagnusIlluminus]

Great, I look forward to seeing your file. Just one request, do please use spellcheck, as the partial list you posted in the Audio Quotes thread had a lot of misspellings. No offense intended, and thanks for doing all that work.

but which spelling checker UK or US?

 

[MagnusIlluminus]

I don't mind UK spellings for things (armour, colour, etc) but things like Sacrufice and Elefant just bother me. Typing instructors hate me as I have to change my typos as I make them. Alright, perhaps his list didn't have 'a lot' of mistakes, but it had more than it should have.

 

[Thunderbrd]

but which spelling checker UK or US?

I've often wondered if we should have a differentiation between British English and US English language settings.

 

[Faustmouse]

Here are almost all redundant quotes up to the TH era. Some are even in the TH or Galactic era, but in those two eras are most definetly some more.
And sorry if there are many typos. While I can't stand typos in my own language, keep in mind that english isn't my native language and I don't have time to look up every word I'm unsure about.

I keep finding new ones. I'll keep adding those here.
Once those have new quotes I'll go trough all quotes again while playing and look for more.

 

[MagnusIlluminus]

The current quote on Druidism is "I didn't know she was Druish!" and attributed to Spaceballs. I've seen the movie, but couldn't remember that line. Research online also fails to turn up that line, but does turn up: "Funny, she doesn't look Druish." The latter was said by Barf the mog shortly after they first met the princess. Does anyone mind if the quote is changed to the latter?

It's still a terrible quote for the purpose. I suggest not 'fixing' a quote until we have something better to replace it with.

Such as possibly:
"The Druids hold nothing more sacred than the mistletoe and the tree on which it grows... They worship only in oak groves and will perform no sacred rites unless a branch of that tree is present."
From Pliny's "Natural History" (quoted on this site)

 

[MagnusIlluminus]

Good point. The quote really should have something to do with the actual religion, not with a movie loosely parodying it. I'll have to look into that.

Edit: This reminds me that I also find the various quotes from other movies somewhat out of place. Especially the ones from the penguins from Madagascar.

If no one complains I will make this change to the Druid tech quote.

 

[Hydromancerx]

Sounds fine to me.

 

[MagnusIlluminus]

Change noted, looks good to me.

Noooooooo!!!! That's my favourite quote in the game
What really needs a new quote is Drugtrade!
