In my opinion, Don't make them speak!, even if you can! The reason I say this is that if the leaderhead speaks, then we're forced to use that (or remove the sound, and then he's just mouthing to the air). Many different modders probably want many different uses for each leaderhead, and making them speak English would defeat that purpose (Example: Hi! I'm King Arthur from England) but...I'm using you as a leaderhead for my...uh...German civilization.
It's a fair point. The initial version will definitely not have speech anyway because it'll be a fair bit of additional work. So there could always be two versions - one basic leader without speech, and one full-on King Alfred of the Anglo-Saxons civ mod with speech (if I can get non-awful sounding voices )
