Let the heroes speak up!

So I was listening to my power metal...
Not really the Blazing Priest wrote:War of the ghostland take your souls
but give us freedom once and for all
...firestorm!
... and thought it would be nice to have heroes and units say things sometimes to increase the immersion of the game and the epicness of the ultimates -> For now a little shoutout when using an ultimate, and more could be added over time. Rather serious texts would fit the best imo.

I think implementing such a system shouldnt be more work than creating a very simple floating text system/function and a trigger checking for ability casts. Fueled by community suggestions.

AotZ has this afaik if someone wants to see it in a map.


Example ultimate suggestions:
Scarab: *Godname* wont allow me to die here!
BP: May *Godname* cleanse your souls with the holy flame!
RK: I wont let anybody stand between me and the rescue of my race!
AM: Feel the pain of the fallen!
Incarnation: You cannot kill the dead!
Ice Spinner: Shiver in fear!
Fenny: (Can he even speak?)
Garg: The hellfire shall clear our way.

IMO, this is pretty low on the list of priorities, which, thank the LORD, is always very large.

Do you mean text on screen, or some sort of voice acting?

a very simple floating text system
But voice acting ... with the increased map file size limit ... hmm!

Seems kind of annoying... if it spams everyone, or even if it's only above the heroes head.

It must not display everytime you cast.

I don't think Garg or the Lich can speak....

That being said, I don't really see the benefit to this, kinda pointless IMO.

Yeah its just for a bit extra flavor and screen spam.
