Announcer sayings for some of the different things could be, Friendly flag grab - "We have seized the enemy flag" or "We have seized the meatbag's flag" Enemy flag grab - "The meatbags have our flag, retrieve it" Friendly drops enemy flag - "Whichever unit dropped the flag will be scrapped" Enemy drops friendly flag - "The meatbags have foolishly dropped our flag" Friendly generator is destroyed - "We have lost our generator" Enemy generator is destroyed - "The meatbag's have lost their generator" Friendlies have 4 points - "Our dominance shall soon be complete." or "This world will be ours." Enemies have 4 points - "Error. Defeat does not compute." or "If you fail, the punishment will be severe." Victory - "The imperfection of humans will be their downfall" or "The meatbags cannot hope to match the power (perfection?) of the Cybrids (Cybrid Empire?)." Defeat - "All of the surviving units will be reprogrammed for victory." or "Defeat is unacceptable. Prepare for the scrap heap." I loved (still do) playing as the CIS on the old Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefront 2 just because of the awesome announcer voice, so Cybrid would be my top choice. SWBF2's announcer also inspired most of my sayings above (the "error, defeat" is almost a direct quote) _________________ T:A- Dormivi -AEnubis- wrote: It's kinda funny how you can gauge skill level from post content.

I suppose official release was less than a month ago, though, so it's reasonable as much as I may be bored with the lack of additional tribes after 6 months of playing the game... Speaking of which, didn't the Closed Beta start Nov. 4th? I think so, in which case today is the 6 month anniversary! Woot! I wanna buy T:A some flowers. Really, I'd be happy with re-skinned versions of the character models that we already have for the time being until new models can be worked up. Just to represent the other tribes as soon as possible without putting too much of a work-load on the Hi-Rez staffers that work on the game. _________________ "One day I will leave this world and dream myself to reality." -->Chief Crazy Horse
