Exactly what it says on the tin.

Just a tiny little mod that can spice up Adventure Mode a bit.  It adds race-specific battlecries to the vanilla races (no distracting splash screens, just quotes showing up in the combat log).

So there's one set of quotes for dwarves fighting elves, another for elves fighting humans, etc...

There aren't too many quotes yet (it's just to demonstrate the principle), but I expect some creative types roaming the forums will be able to come up with better variety later.  More importantly, I expect other modders would like to use the same principle to spice up their own mods.  Feel free to do so!

Interesting concept. Would it be possible to implement some form of this for summoning?

Any interaction can be given a set of possible quotes using the [VERBAL] and [VERBAL_SPEECH:filename_in_speech_folder.txt] tags (see the example mummy curse interaction).

I know. But now at least I can implement this somehow.

Oh, cool!

I did a bit of similar research here (for other people who want to do things with flavour interactions), but you've made much better use of the technique.

Those are pretty good!  Using greeting speech interactions could go along nicely with this mod.

Damn humans, they have insults equally derogatory to each race.

Thank you, because thats exactly what I did. I came about this thread a long time ago, but somehow completely forgot about it... I now used the basis of it to integrate this into the MasterworkMod. 41 different civs, with fitting speech files. Will be included in the next release.

VERBAL isn't actually necessary for VERBAL_SPEECH to work, believe it or not.
