ASININE MORTAL
TEHENHAUIN
Ikit Nuke
Cathayan cannon
total war elysium coming back will be my favourite
The wheeze of artillery as it passes by the camera for battles.
Just the sounds of life in the campaign map.
And overall, I think SEGA should give more money to CA so they can record more VA to have banter and all. 3K banter in WH where you have generals roasting each others real-time in battle would have been cool I think. (Also means general speeches)
Shameful Dispray!
Rome 2's are nice but repetitive
does it include Voicelines?
Anything Great Unclean ones say
End turn in Warhammer for each race.
This one is easy: "Triari"!

FOR GRIMNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR
The startup sound on Total war: Atilla, the horse screeching

The Wilhelm scream in the blood for the blood god trailer
The enemy general lies dead!
The impact of a dreadquake mortar and the entirety of Pit of Shades get my vote, can't choose between them

Mainly artillery, quicklime shots and the organ gun in ETW 🧑🍳 a more recent one would be the chorfs dreadquake
Top two would be both from Rome 1
'Rhodian Sliiiiiiiiiiingeeeeeerrrsssss'
'Creeeetian Arrrrrchers' (for some reason in a oddly scouse accent!)
The ikit nuke is great, but all the explosion effects are great.
Hearing the crackle of gunpowder from Shogun 2
"I will not lie, your chances of survival are slim:"
The Chorfs chanting “Hashut Hashut Hashut”

Paranoid by black sabbath
fots general russian voiceover
The cries of my dying enemy!
I've always really appreciated the sound effect that plays when you have a building demolished that's been in every game since Rome 2
Pit of shades spell has amazing sound design, love it.
For the Bear
"gonna stab em!"
Any of the Skaven's battle comments, but in particukar WARPLIGHTNING CANONS and WARPLOCK JEZZAILS!
THESE DAWI DRINK WEAK ALE!!!!

the noise the tzeentchian eyes make when you cast a spell with the Blue Scribes and they resuffle the spells
The sfx for Ptra's Incantation of Righteous Smiting! I love the intense and haunting way the 'verses' are spoken.
The thundering of Bubebolos on the campaign map
The horn drom rome 1
"Should we run?! FLEE!?" Skavenslaves even while they're winning.
"SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!!!"
the song of the end turn on rome 1 total war ❤️
the sound when ending your turn as dark elfs
Pit of Shades, Sword of Daith, Fiery Convocation, and the Fate of Bjuna for spells
and for voicelines
"SHUT UP DAEMON"
The choir of a thousand voices from an entire line charging another line.
My lord, your units are fleeing the battle, shamefur dispray
The Empire units shouting when clicked upon (spearmen)
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
This three videos shows the sound effects I love to hear every time!;
watch?v=WTTYiU8sCJY
watch?v=xcznBAFZh4U
watch?v=ul53vLirEKo
Total war rome/remaster eastern factions rally horn
The treeman sfx
Skaven fleeing battle "I'M BRAVE, BUT NOT NOW!"
Everything in Pharaoh. So many great lines from the various characters and the average soldiers.
Total War Attila
For Warhammer 1/2/3 - can't recall if it is just Durthu or all treeman units, but their stomping + screaming sounds while in combat 😄
**For Shogun 2 **- honestly all the gunfire sounds are just so nice as they are a bit distinct per unit, especially some of the later game cannons and their reverberating sound that echos across the battlefield.
cathayan grand cannons
YES MY SULTAN!!?!?!??!?!
Dreadquake mortar impact sound
honestly the terrorghiest
Lore master of hoeth
Naval bombardment Fall of the samurai
The end of turn, and start of battle "NORSCA!" yell
Goblin big boss: When i getz there gonna stab!
"Dont trust no-furs. They're sneaky, unlike honorable skaven, yes-yes!"
all chaos dwarf artillery
I do love the sound of the shoot and impact of the "Dreadquake Mortar"
I feel like "sound effects" might not include dialogue lines 🤔
TRIARII
Shogun 2 did it best i think.
The echo of guns from the distance
The sound of battles having multiple layers that make it sound like a real large battle and more then just a few Clink clank sound effects for a few units hitting eachother.
The sounds of exploasions and matchlocks.
Everything is just cheff's kiss there
"Bug off you WAZZOK!"
oh right speaking of chaos dwarfs pretty much all their voice lines are awesome
Hooves when charging, rifles firing, artillery, and the dying echoes of the enemy
When you cast pit of shades and the sound turns off for half a second 
Any Napoleon line
The post battle sound effects from Troy and Pharaoh, the bashing of metal sounds so satisfying.
Troy and pharaoh hve the worst melee sounds imo
I am very close to just counting how many mentions are there for Shameful Display and Summon the Elector Counts to see who wins 😄
Do it!
Any Gelt lines
we must summon the elector counts
Belthazar is baller
SHAMEFUR DISPLAY
It's a toss up between a line of handgunners firing a Volley, or listening to groups of units being microwaved by tzeentch magic.
absolutely
AHH~
I miss the sound effect of bows from Medieval II on the shot. They were so meaty and satisfying compared to the more recent titles.
I like snikitch dealing with Tzarkan
love the horn when you order a unit to attack in attila 
Ogres My Lord !
"The Throng is Mustard!"
"Ogres, my lord."
the sound of sling stones hitting an armored target. rome 2 especially
Hearing the Etruscans "Fight, remember the omens" and "For the Dona Capilis"
Gelt really is always one of the top 3 things I hear in my head though when someone asks about sounds/voice lines from the warhammer games - he is just too memorable 😄
I AM SUPREME
also war mammoths trumpeting while they charge
Me milk Centigor once. Good boy e woz
The Snotling screams are hard to beat.:')
I really like the Dreadquack Mortar impact too.
Witch Elves and Sisters of Slaughter charging is also terrifying.
"Lihaa! Uuh!" or what ever the tomb kings say. It would mean "Meat! Uuh!" in finnish. 
It doesn't really happen anymore, but in Warhammer 1 when you attacked with Chaos Marauders/Norscan Marauders, right as they start to charge they scream out an elongated "Blood for the Blood God" that usually ends right at the moment when the two opposing forces clash.
Perfection in symmetry and action.
ogre kingdoms trailer song
gods be praised! the enemy general has been killed!
handgunner firing line
The "psssht!" sound of opening Clan Moulder's Flesh Lab and adding mutations
WE'Z GONNA GETCHA!
100% Cathay Great cannons
Tamurkhans Stomps
tree units noises
Shameful Display !
Cathay cannon firing sound
its been a while since I played but the idle sounds of greenskin units are very fun, from goblins to orcs
(also of note, I remember the stomping noise of Toad Dragons being so load compared to everything else in the game)
Our men are running from the battlefield! A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY!
In Pharaoh the weapon clashes sound.
“Imperator SIR” “Yes Strategos” “age cap’n” “VICTORYYYYYYYYYEEE” “ambush in place” (all the rtw voice lines slap)
"Ready to charge Knights!"
triarii!
Shogun 2 getting trade or diplo deals
The sound of Cathay cannons being fired.
SHAMEFUL DISPWAY
the Drums of Shogun a atmosphere let me for acempel Dawn of war was creat an massif sound. createt by what you are do fight on the battle field. more action== more drumes more powerfull epic music comes in to it
Ogres my lord
YOU KNOW WHO I AM
When you command a unit to attack in Medieval II
The sound of your far-away cannons when you hover near the enemy army to see the carnage from your artillery
OUR MEN ARE RUNNING, SIR
Also can we get a similar thread for music tracks 👀
never heard that one 😎
whenever some fantasy race speaks in a fantasy language in TTW Warhammer series, its just hillarious to think how somone goes into a cabin and records it. Especially Skinks from the Lizardmen
He headbutted me in the groin!
there is music in these games?
Did somebody say The Music of Coast Artillery
All of Grimgors Diplomacy lines.
"We are gonna shake hands den, like humies? Ha! You'll be lucky to still be breathing in a moment."
The sound of doomspheres completely razing a full continent.
EYE OF THE GODS
I really enjoy the sound of firearms and (gunpowder) artillery. The booms and cracks do things to me. It's why i enjoy Cathay, The Empire, (Chaos) Dwarfs etc :D
NOW IS OUR TIME
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!
Perhaps a more subtle one, but I really like the metallic clangs that play when I right click an enemy unit to order an attack. That, and the low-ish grumbles of using menu buttons.
Gun powder
SHAMFUR DISPRAY 
TIME TO WAAAAGH
WAAAAAAAGH
"PUMP THOSE DWARVEN LEGS"
SERENE NAESTRA, TEMPESTUOUS ARAHAN 
Grey Seers when they say: Rakatel Rakata
Medieval 3?
🗣️ CHAOS MARAUDERS
🗣️🗣️🗣️ NORSCA!!!
Pit of Shades
When you command a Carthaginian fleet to move on land in Rome 1 the admiral will sometimes say "THE SHIPS CANNOT GOOO THERE!" and I think about that a lot.
Ladies and Gentlemen; "OGRES, MY LORD!!!"
Dwarven cannons firing in the distance, with the echo and everything is awesome. All cannon sound effects are perfect I'd say. Pair it with the smoke particle mod and oof chefs kiss 👨🍳
The whips when you get your camera close to a Slaanesh city
"SETTRA THE IMPEEERISHEBLE"
THE GODS HAVE ABANDONED US!!!!
ASININE MORTAL
OUR MEN ARE RUNNING FROM THE BATTLEFIELD
A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY
The sound of a doom rocket in the morning killing a lot of knife-ears and even more skaven slaves holding them in place.
"Form a ring of Steel!"
"Don't let the zombies bite!"
"As long as we draw breath, they will die!"
"I control Tzeench's gifts too!"
Sickly, sinful, specatacles stand, shuffle, shamble and saunter shamelessly in mine scandalized sight! I suggest a solution - Surely such sedition should sour and succumb to Sigvald, the salacious, scandalous, and sensational servant of Slaanesh! Son of succubi, scion of sordid acts and slayer of squalid serfs! - See how I tstroll strike, swagger and swirl, slash and stab at stupid senseless scum! Soon they shall swoon, shall seek solace and death from sundry torments wrought on them by my strategic, severing, scintillaring shower of shimmering strikes! --- Send for the sword, SUMMON SILVERSLASH!
the yelling sounds in Medieval 2 Total War from units who are charging at each other and you hear the sound of screams building up just before they clash. And then they do clash and there's that heavy impact sound when they slam against each other. There hasn't been that kind of sfx in any total war game since. I reallyyyyy hope sfx detail like that returns for M3TW.
In recent titles, in WH3 i do enjoy the battle chants that are shouted every now and then. If those 2 were combined for M3TW it would be a soundscape dream
I enjoy all the monster sounds in TW:W
Random chatter between soldiers relevant to the context of battle, like the chatter added for the chaos warriors in the champions of chaos
Cannons in NTW3
Napoleon total war intro, it is simply perfect
Medieval 2 Battle Clatter from combat units (Swords clashing, war cries, arrows being loosed)
Medieval 2 Gunpowder Units (Muskets and Cannons)
Rome 1 Adaptive Music
Medieval 2 Music
Khazukan Kazakit-ha
I wish the Warhammer series had music like Med 2 and Rome 1 had.
Jeff was a master artist
WE'RE GONNA GETCHA! WE'RE GONNA GETCHA! WE'RE GONNA GETCHA! There's just such a sisnister glee to it! barring that, as a straight up sound effect, it would be the roar the khadai destroy unleashes at the end of the chaos dwarfs trailer
close second is the heirotitan roar in the tomb kings trailer
RAGE! MURDER11!
I need more minions!
Basically ANYthing that Be'lakor says.
WITNESS MY CRUELTY!
BLACK IS DA NEW GREEN!
Bring back naval combat!!
Anything orks say
Is that actually a voiceline?
I also really like the sound effects of chiv 3 and empire 2 (all jokes) oh and maybe Victoria tw
Anything out of Settra's mouth-
"Save my own fur!"- My own Clanrats being incinerated by 'ill placed' warpfire throwers.
“SOCII EQUITES EXTRAORDINARII”
“HOPLITES, FORM PHALANX!”
- Rome 2
“HERCULIANI SENIORES”
“COMITATENSES!”
“SCOUT EQUITES!”
“FOR GOD IN HEAVEN!”
“FOR THE SAVIOR!”
- Attila
“KNIGHTS OF THE REALM!”
“THE GRAIL IS FULL!”
“SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!”
“HALBERDIERS!”
“CROSSBOWS READY, GENERAL!”
“FOR KISLEV!”
“FREE COMPANY MILITIA!”
- Warhammer
All in all, the voice lines! 🫶🔥
''CHAOS WARRIOR OF KHORNE'' The more fierce voice version of the chaos warrior of Khorne
''ARMIES OF THE DARK GODS !'' The more fierce version of the chaos warrior of Khorne
''ERADICATE THEM !'' Skarbrand
''I MUST... MY DUTY !'' Skarbrand
''BLACK IS DA NEW GREEN !'' Black orc
''DESTROY ALL !'' Bloodreaper
''BLOODREAPER !!'' Bloodreaper
''GRIMGOR'S TIME'' Grimgor
''COME ON !!'' Grimgor
''SMASH THE GITS !'' Grimgor
''WAAAAAAAGH !'' EVERY DAMN ORC !
... I love too much quotes, I will post half game sounds if I continue.
Yeah, Dwarfs have a headbutting in the groin animation.
“SACRIFICE THEM!!!!”
Also, I love the ambient sfx in pharaoh (campaign and battle maps) and how it changes during the day/night cycle. I could fall asleep to it
the throng is mustard
Mix of musket and canon fire from ETW and NTW
Total War: Warhammer 3;
Sound which start play every time you choose Legendary Lord in the start campain menu
The sound when you add skillpoints to any lord, is like asmr.
Summon the Elector Counts!
Achilles is champion
"I AM KING AND EMPEROR!"
total war shogun 2
"A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY"
shameful display
NORSCA
Everything khalida says
Because it's so cringe, I LMAO'd the first time I heard it: "EASTERN HILLMEN!!" from Rome 2.
State troops have some of my favorite voicelines if you zoom down into their combat
"KUSHITE SHOTELAI"
From Attila
Large and in charge!
Slay everything without a beard!
WARLOCK MASTER
Nothing beats the first rome total war where you heard a charging unit scream in combination with the combat ost (melee cafe)
Close second would be the treeman voice ost (including durthu)
gun sounds in shogun 2/ FOTS
The norscan end turn
The clash of metal and stomping of feet when you pressed the button to begin a battle in Rome 1
Wololo
Wait wrong game
I do like the generals smack talking the other side during the battle. I love that kind of detail
Battle speech
all gunfire in FOTS (cannon, naval gun, gatling, rifles, etc) its all so good. Could use more of a CRACK than a Boomf, but its still damn good
i loved the "BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD!" and "SKULLS FOR THE SKULLTHRONE!" charge crys of the warriors of chaos, before they got their sound rework. Ich realy hope the Khorne factions/units will get them one day again.
Infernal Gateway that mulching sound, is so good.
"Thundereeeeers !!!" (Dwarf)
Don't see shogun 2 mentioned nearaly enough here aside from Shamfur dispray, so ill say it again.
The echo of guns and cannons from the distance
The sound of melee battles
The sounds of exploasions and matchlocks.
cheff's kiss 
The battle shouts as the battle progresses, and the intricacies of firing weapons, such as the sound of reloading or pulling a bowstring back.
honestly all the sound effects and voice lines of the nurgle faction are top notch, my only complaint being that the LL voicelines are lacklustre
SHAMEFUL DISPRAY!
Karl Franz mid-battle shouting "I WILL NOT STAND IDLE!"
Cathayan cannons, mid-battle troops screams (especially the Empire ones specified against the faction you are fighting, like "Kill the necromancer"), Vampire Coast battle shanty ablilties and Vangheist Revenge evaporaring a whole enemy unit. And of course "Summon the elector counts" and "Welcome to Estalia Gentleman".
TRIARII!
NAGASH WAS WEAK, WITNESS TRUE POWER
The Empire Endures!
“You may look upon me”
when you start reikland campaign number 736382826372826 and the fellas are going "AH-OOH! AH-OOH! AH!" while Karl looks up at Siggy
Grom da Fat!
the wispering goblin from the orc diplomatic event
"bli blong brrrriiiii"
The haunting violin that sometimes shows up in the Wissenland & Nuln background music. Beautiful perfection.
Artillery or rifle infantry shooting in rythm, si satisfying. And Skaven machinery, they are the best yes-yes
We may not be the Empire, but our land has wealth and strength in equal measure. 🥶
Based
activating the lost sea shanty
all keeper of secrets noises
QUICK LEE, SWIFT LEE
Every khalida voice line
That badass pendulum spell
The effects of the cannon sounds from Napoleon
they sound so damn satisfying
and that volley fire from your infantry units just is smooth
Also I love in Rome II how individual units react, how they fight and the voice actors did an incredible job
please keep making more awesome sound effects
OGRE MY LORDS
Hittites and Canaanites saying "I'm getting out of here".
"COOL DREADLORD"
LEGGIT
