What about the combat voices? Could the troops have been made to speak?
In general, it seems that at first, one team worked on the game, and a very professional one at that, and then some talentless people with their pseudo-creative ideas got involved... So much was cut, of course... I won't even mention the Kappa; they had 3 abilities (by the way, they could have been used as a basis for an alternate upgrade in the future), but there are also sounds for the removed abilities in the folders for the Snow Maidens and Deep Naga... In short, what we have now is not at all the masterpiece that the world should have seen. The original, I'm sure, was a brilliant project. And this... This is just a product of commerce, nothing more.
