Speech for Darloks??

I had been told they would speak... but have been playing for two hours and have them wiped out except for their home planet... they have sent me diplomatic Messages (mostly hateful ;o) but no speech. ??

Jason....those Messages are the "speech" :-)

no, there aren't any .wav files to give true "speech"

Is there a way to make it true speech through .wav files and if so is anyone working on adding this to the game?

SunDevil-

Although I would love something similar to that (see IG2), but I think at this point that is more along the lines of SE5. What I did suggest to MM was that a distinct .wav file play (national anthem, few chimes or whatever) when (a) you select each race's portrait in the diplomatic screen to initiate a message or (b) you select the "circle button" on the log screen to bring up a message that the race has sent to you. For now they put placebo empty .wav files in there until a have time to create music/sounds. In the meantime us modders can easily come up with 20 distinct sounds for each of the races. I think this little change could add a lot of additional depth to each race.
