Unit Sound Pack For Canada

[purplexus]

This is A first that I have seen so far... A sound pack for the Selection / Order of units unique to Canada as a Civ.

The First procedure is to have you come up with ideas unique to Canada (the hard part)

The second procedure is to wait for a day or two for me to come up with a sound pack.

I will pick the Top 10 for what a unit says when you select it (selection)
And I will pick the 10 for what a unit says once ordered to do something (order)

example.... Selection
... Unit replies "EH?" (Stereotypical response for anything.)
... Unit replies "Did you Watch coach's corner last night?" (Everyone knows that all Canadians ever do is play or watch hockey!!!)

example.... Order
........ Unit replies "I'll get the duct tape" (Red/Green Show)
........ Unit replies "Better then having to go on pogey." (Pogey... Canadian Slang for unemployment)

Lets have a lot of fun with this. Think of things that we are stereotyped as saying all the time.

For unit comments, I think "eh" is a must, and I love the "pogey" expression. Somehow the concepts of snow and hockey have to make the cut.

I'm going to search around for a list of Canadian expression and post some here.

What do you think of Selection.... "Santa caved in my igloo trying to come through the chimney last christmas."????

 

[LAnkou]

Selection:
"two minutes please, i'm feeding my pet beaver..."

 

[Nazmazh]

Maybe when given an order:

"Ok, but it'd better be worth sitting out for 5"

Or some other, better worded reference to the penalty box.

These Are good ideas... keep 'em coming.. as I am constantly checking this site and this thread.

"Lard tunderin' Jesus" is a Newfoundland expression, as is "Hows she gettin' on, bay?"
