An Interesting Thought

[Atrocities]

Would it not be an interesting thing to be able to send an ally a Voice Message or an Enemy a voice response to a surrender demand?

Response to Surrender Demand
Advice to an Allie

Think of what you could say. The added feature of VOICE contact.

It would be great but the turn files would be too large.

Now that is a good way to respond to a surrender demand.

I think you are gettng at a feature being worked on for MOO 3. There will be a characteristic 'alien speech' sound associated with the diplomatic screen for each race. Whether this will extended to special sounds for the 'mood' of the race or even specific diplomatic options I don't clearly know. It would be a possible enhancement to the mood of SE IV to at least get a special 'characteristic' sound played when you click on that race in the diplomacy window. It could be either a 'national anthem' or a simulated alien speech sound. Specific Messages for each diplomatic option for each race could add up to quite a lot of .wav files, though. I also agree that being able to send specific files as 'message' in a game could add up to far too much data associated with a save game.

Why not associate the Race sounds with the shipset? Download it as a package. The sending player could then click a dropdown box to automatically append "[sound=surrenderresponse1.wav]" to his political message.

convert them to mp3. Smaller size.
