It wa supposed to be Olde English, I presume.
The Vikings spoke Icelandic, and iirc it was quite good too.

Ah, the Teuton vocals went for the Goths as well? Then that at least is clearly wrong. Strange, because it's not hard at all to find out about Gothic as it's the only East Germanic language.

I also recall (for as far as I can tell) AOM had some not so convincing voice acting. I wonder why they do it like that, they might as well pick a modern native and hardly anyone would notice the difference, so why they come up with fakes...

Whatever you do, don't

yeah the language of the Teutons had something German to it, but nothing recognizable...

The Teutonic/Gothic one was weird. It sounded German, and some things were somewhat recognizeable (Bereite, Das ich soll) but other things weren't. Perhaps it was Old German or so).
The Franks just spoke Franglish (Fisheo, Mineo).
The British spoke a very weird language as well ("Ik willem"?)
The Aztecs spoke outright nonsense ("Bantilwong"?)
The Spanish was indeed authentical.

However, maybe they will all be dead silent like in Rise of Nations

That would be a shame, but I don't think they will.

It would probably be fake Dutch
the units of AOEII mainly spoke fake languages as well.

Then I'd be even more delighted to hear

But did they really? I thought they just picked some modern languages instead of the authentical ones, but still real ones (spanish, turkish, chinese, japanese), for what I can remember the Teutons sounded more authentical, and the Vikings did at least have some old norse (fiskr-mar etc ).

However, maybe they will all be dead silent like in Rise of Nations

Hmm on 2nd thought, my processor would melt away by a mere glimpse of the cd(s)

I wonder who does know about history. The Austrians didn't have that much to do with the colonization of the New World...
Those who did were these:
Spain
Britain
France
Portugal
Netherlands
Sweden
Denmark
Russia (only some trading posts along the NW part, no contact or interaction with the others though)

It's set in the Americas. Austrians did never had a colony in the Americas

Historical or not, that flag's on several screenshots. I believe a German nation of some kind will be in.

 Prussia without any doubt. And if they don't include the Austrian, they certainly don't know about history.

 So

France

Britain

Spain

Prussia

Austria

Portugal

These are for sure.

yeah, it already makes no sense that the Germans are in it, it would make even less sense if the Turks were too

 It wouldn't make any sense if a power like Prussia isn't represented. And worst if the austrian empire isn't in it, the game isn't worth buying. Austria was a military superpower at the time.

Funny, I thought the first one was an absolute classic.....heck I still play it to this day, now and then (ie random battles). The second one I did not care for at all. Yes it was more realistic with the people/building size ratios, and the AI was better, etc.....but it was way, way too "busy" looking. Just did nothing for me. The first one has me wondering what could've been if they'd spent more time making the AI better/less predictable (for ex. when you have units destroying a structure and getting attacked, yet they don't automatically counter-attack), but it's still quite playable.

But the Turks were never in the Americas, and that's where the game is about.

What a marketing ploy, they're going to put only 8 all European civs in the game, and come out with an expansion pack a few months later featuring "extra" civs (civs that should have already been in the game).

I think Tobodai is right, and yeah, random maps will just be weird... Because that's what all rts are like... AOE2 also had some pretty incredible combinations in random maps.
