Speeches Music

[Crixus]

Holy damn! When the speeches kicks in becouse of events happens in the world, it's so immersive, i love it!
Personal favorite must be the 'Day in Infamy'-speech, the music makes the speech so freaking powerful!

I think the music is bit too loud, though. At least for the "England is now at War" by Chamberlain it is sometimes bit hard to make it out due to the music.

I agree. At one point during the D-Day I reached for the music player to turn off the music so I could hear the speech better, only to remember that it was the same track. Can we have music volume adjusted a little please?

Yeah, I did the same and also checked the options if there would be options to adjust the speech/music loudness.

Yeah music definitely too loud somewhat. I really like the speeches but....I can't help but feel there's not enough. There are archives online of all the radio broadcasts from the war period. Maybe we need more radio music. Or radio news broadcasts.

Dynamic radio news broadcasts....

Yeah, I kinda felt the same way. Atm they are cool, but way too rare. As USA, the first speech I heard was one I got after finishing the Arsenal of Democracy focus, then 2nd one when UK gives us Checzks and 3rd one when UK joins the war. I definitely think there should be some more before that, like FDR speech about New Deal,, Occupation of Rhineland, US Neutrality act, something about Marco Polo incident, Spanish Civil war, death and abdication of UK king ( (not sure what exist, but I'm sure there something fitting for most of those events)

I'm surprised Charles de Gaulle's June 18 speech is not included given that the Free France tree was just updated. I hope it will be added in the next update.

As that's always USA's sixth focus in an optimal playthrough, I have to say it was a bit weird hearing the speech in 1937...

As for the music, I haven't heard many speeches in-game yet, but in the DLC trailer with Churchill's Their Finest Hour speech, I felt it was too loud.

They ran into copyright issues with de Gaulle's speeches, that with their limited time and resources, they could not resolve. They mention this in one of the dev posts in the latest dev diary.

Thanks, I guess that explains it.

The AI does it a bit later, some time in 1938, which, considering the focus represents something that happened in 1941 (the speech itself happened a bit earlier, on December 29th, 1940), is just plain wrong. The player can beeline for it in 1936, but it's optimal to grab the modifier that reduces the Great Depression malus first, and then the 5th tech slot, before going down Neutrality Act for the 6th slot.

would of been nice to have a couple of Monty's Speeches... maybe this one?

or this one
Here we will stand and fight; there will be no further withdrawal. I have ordered that all plans and instructions dealing with further withdrawal are to be burnt, and at once. We will stand and fight here. If we can't stay here alive, then let us stay here dead.
speech in Cairo, 13 August 1942

I'm all for more speeches, but firstly I don't want there to end up being too many, and secondly, some of them are a bit too specific to fit into a sandbox game. Frankly, even the Day of Infamy speech is way too specific, but I suppose it's also too iconic to not include in the game.

I'm looking forward to seeing lots of speeches for different nations added by modders, though. For Norway, you could have the 17 mai 1940 poem ("Idag står flaggstangen naken...") after the Germans invade, and Oslo has been captured.

The music is way too load! Paradox, please adjust and update.

 

[Hoi Neuling]

Yep, bring in more of these things. There is a Mod which unlocks that Speeches since 1.9. Example: Reichsautobahn, Sudetenland, Spanish Civil War-Things and whatever.

That´s make the Game much more authentic. Paradox get in as you can do and the other Parts which you can´t bring in until Laws etc. will get in from that Modder or other Modders.

 

[Riekopo]

This would be a good speech.

Or just have the game lower the volume of the music while a speech is playing?
