"AK-47s... FOR EVERYONE!"

This video should have been 20 min of the best voice lines from RTS.

The lack of a Homeworld: Cataclysm mention is extremely sad. That had some of the best (and scariest) voice lines in any RTS. From the Hive Frigate's terrified "IT'S COMING THROUGH THE HULL!" upon infection, to the Resource Controller's "Copy command, uhh... can you speak up?" over the sound of heavy machinery when you select it

Scud launcher giggling is a balm for the soul. Special shoutout to the nuke cannon as well

Greetings from the creator of the One Vision mod for Kane's Wrath.
Something that always stuck with me were that the most ridiculous units tended to have the best voice lines. Scud Launchers, Desolators, Toxin Tractors are objectively horrifying weapon, but the VAs make it sound like they are the ones having the most fun at work. I coined the term "Rifle Cultist", named after the unit from Battleforge/Skylords Reborn that literally worships its own weapon.

You should do more videos on RTS games, this one felt incredibly refreshing and hits quite a nerve with me.

“Armor superiority” and “Kirov reporting” are two of my most favorite lines. They just got that weight and reporting that dread and pain will be brought upon your opponents.

Honestly, the hammy voicelines is what makes warhammer games work so especially well. With how different the factions are, you can get all the fun with it. Especially since commissars and priests are dedicated HAM IT UP units.

My favorite quote by you for the voiceover segment is "Counterweight or traction." It just an incredibly witty way to mention its ability to transform between a stable weapons platform, or a tracked vehicle. This is shared by the Terran Viking from SCII "Fight or flight? Yeah right..."
