Possible PTW Audio Easter Egg!

[Octavian X]

I'm not very sure about this...

I was making a map for the Democracy Game. The music had stopped, and the various chirping and howling that the games plays was going on. I was alone in the house at the time, the TV was off, and I heard a cough.
There is no other place this coughing could have come from...

Did I just here something? Has this been heard before?

Yes, one of the units coughs, I think when you wake it or put it on sentry. I think it rifleman or infantryman. It freaked me out the first time I heard it.

 

[Emerald Knight]

Yeh, it is either a cough or a wake up sneeze (dust me off) when you activate the rifleman after it being unused or fortified.

 

[farting bob]

no, it was a pychotic murderer standing right behind you with a 12 inch machetti (sp?) ready to disembowel you........

I think the Rifleman sneezes.

 

[Chieftess]

I think I might've heard it once.

Yes it's the Fiddle animation. It's played when a unit is standing still un-fortiefied for a certain time. Only the defenders have this in the original game, I think.

I can see that none of you have ever created your own units. All foot units have a fidget flic (animation) which includes a sound effect. This flic is played every few seconds when the unit is selected. Riflemen cough, Warriors scratch their heads, Infantry reload etc.

Riflemen sneeze. The cough is like the howl or the chirp and comes randomly, I think. First time I heard it i was playing my first game, real late with no lights on cause i didn't want anyone to now i was awake. I got a drink and when i came back I heard a cough and when crazy until i realized it was the game.

It's the Pikeman.

[Cantankerous]

dog is correct.

It's the pikeman's fidget animation/sound effect and it's always been there. It wasn't just added in PTW.

Don't say you install in that location
