Elpea, you win the fabled, golden coconut for posting the the blog entry so quickly.
Nice to see that they have gone to measures to correct the dodgy Dutch voices.

Sometimes I hate those Dutch patriotics, even though I am a Dutch (and was a somewhat patriot in these things). Why do we all need to whine about these simple things.

I used to use the apple theme, but then I realised it was crep.

@ VAL_The_Speaker: I was the first to suggest the change to "Ruyter" for the cav, and I wasn't being patriotic, I was being perfectionist
although I might not have said it, if it hadn't been my "own civ"...
EDIT: and the improvement of the Dutch voices is nothing but good work, you have to admit that. We wouldn't want them to speak Limburgs, now would we?

I don't think there's anything wrong with people supposedly 'whining' that the voices are wrong, because at the end of the day, it'll be us Joe Publics buying and playing this game, so we should want the best that ES can produce.
I just want to see them re-record all the Middle-English(Anglo-Norman!) to (early)Modern English, for the British.

Ah, I think I know who you mean...
Still, it's great that ES listens to their fanbase this well. All the gameplay feedback from previous games and suggestions for the new one must be a great help in creating the game everyone dreams of. The ideal game should be Age of Wiki

Well they certainly are doing a better job than at AoM... But I didn't see any of the Supertr00pers here.

A small change it may be, but its still a good change. When this game goes live in Europe, the Dutch should be that much more happy with their own civ.

Yeah, that's why I kinda feel for the Portuguese and Germans whose UUs have an anglicized name...

They'd have to pay for the name (well, actually, no.. )

Well, hopefully that Dutch journalist is someone who speaks ABN Dutch (Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands: normal Dutch) and not some kind of accent, although it would be funny to hear them having an accent from Rotterdam with all the "ij"'s being "aai"'s or the Amsterdam accent with all the "z"'s being "s"'s or some kind of farmer accent

Yes, it's good that they changed the Ruyter's name, but I think they also should change the names of the German and Portuguese UU's, because it isn't only more correct to have these UU's names in their own language, but it would also looks much cooler and more authentic and more special.

Seriously, since a third of the latest blog centers on the Dutch language, I really see no problem at all in the fact that gorbac orc is providing us with additional information on the subject. After all, as a native speaker, he is somewhat of an expert compared to the rest of us

Well a lot of people here on the forums are Dutch, and I don't know about them, but I am irritated when other Dutch people brag about things that are normal here.
