NOTES ON THIS EPISODE: - Apparently the stereotypical vampire accent is Hungarian or Romanian, not Slavic. My apologies. Should've researched that more. - Sorry about the Raid image *bug* - I forgot to include the Lich's "Dead man walking" quote. It's a movie title from 1995. - The Crypt Fiend also says "I like chicks who are into bandage," a BDSM pun on "bondage" - "The sleeper awakes" is more likely a reference to the 1910 novel of the same name by H. G. Wells.

You forgot the best Acolyte - *All i see is darkness... ohh my hood's down* .

10:28 Crypt Lord: “Raid!” Me: “Shadow Legends haha . . ha . . ha . . .” *dies inside*

I love the Crypt Lord's voice, I'll never forget his "my might cannot be matched" line.

"FIFTY THOUSAND GOLD A YEAR IN CHILDCARE AND THEY CALL IT A CULT? " -Kel'thuzad

Crypt Lord in Warcraft 3 is actually so great

You forgot to mention the Dread Lord joke: I'm a Dread Lord not a drug Lord

Oh man, that "I'm the ghost of Warcraft past" unit bark aged real well

the Shade has attack lines, because if you selected multiple unit types and made the shade the selected "group leader" (as to determine which units' abilities to be displayed for use), and you issued an attack order to that group, the shade would say those lines.

_"Oblivion awaits."_ is one of my favorite lines in WC3. His voice is just so good.

7:54 Fun fact: The real historical Dracula (Vlad the impaler) was Wallachian (predecessor of Romania) and Béla Lugosi (who played Dracula in the famous movie) was Hungarian. Both of these countries are mostly surrounded by Slavic countries but neither of them are actually Slavic.

I think the crypt fiend’s “the sleeper awakes” is a reference to the Gothic 1 game, where you would try to awaken the sleeper, which is a god that looks very much like the crypt fiend (both look like weird spider-ant hybrids)

"it's evil, don't touch it!" *immediatly sticks their hands into it at same time*

10:49 The Russian version actually changed this line a little bit! It goes like this: "Just look at what this Arthas did! Killed tons of people, turned me into some kind of monster!" She still complains, but she emotes more while doing so.

"Us hear and obey" is referring one of the "Omen" movies, the third one I believe

I love the Crypt Lord voice in WC3 it more deeper and isn't over the top unlike WOW

Hands down, the Undead used to be my favorite preferred choice when I played WC3 all those years ago as a teen. And then when I transitioned to WoW, I picked Undead Warrior as my first character.

The Sylvanas quote is taken out of a conversation she has in the campaign, it makes a lot more sense in context. Random Banshee: "I thought you would be overjoyed to be free." (or something along those lines) Sylvanas: "What joy is there in this curse?"

fun fact: in the german version of the game the shade still uses english voice line when attacking xD

The big reason for the 'units having lines despite being non-playable' I would assume is because of the map editor, kind of a bonus for people creating map content and giving more lines to work with. Why this doesn't extend to every character (Manneroth, Archimonde) I'm unsure.

"You are the weakest Lich" seriously killed me, had to pause the video for a second.

Maybe I should consider going down the dark path. Dental sounds nice

8:13 “standard uniform” could be a reference to the breakfast club; “tights” scene

So, "Russian localization part 3". About the Alliance: SoftClub tried to give dwarves a caucasian accent (well you know - mountain people like the scots) but only gryphon rider has this accent. Dwarf was translated like "Гном"/"Gnome" because from the time of translation of Tolkien we have problem with dwarves and gnomes. "Dragohawk" is just "Hawk". And he also say "Glory to the hight elves" not "the blood elves". But Speall Breaker became cooler because he was translated like "Witcher" (yes after 2015 it is really funny). And some quotes of course: "My sword - plus one dead orc." (Footman) "Not gonna give in my life my gun or my wife. *Laugh*" (Rifleman) "Good, bad... The main thing is who has a gun." (Rifleman) "Who comes with a sword to us, those easier to shoot." (Rifleman) - reference to Alexander Nevskiy "He laughs best who shoots first." (Rifleman) "-You, me and mortar. -That's all what we need to win." (Mortar team) "-Sight 15 tube 120. -Bang bang and missed." (Mortar team) - reference to film "Marriage in Malinovka"/"Свадьба в Малиновке "-Tell me, uncle. it was not for nothing? -Of course not. (Mortar team) - reference to Lermontov's "Borodino"/"Бородино" "-Hey, old man, how it was in Warcraft II? -The sun shone brighter, the sky was bluer and orcs were no match for todays." (Mortar team) "Guess in which ear i hear the buzz." (Gyrocopter) - reference to cartoon "Carlson has returned!"/"Карлсон вернулся!" "I see an unknown flying object." (Gyrocopter) "Crew requires flight attendant." (Gyrocopter) "Scalpel, sponge, magic wand. Oh, alcohol." (Priest) "An autopsy revealed: the patient was asleep." (Priest) "So we heal or let him live? (Priest) "Time cures, but the priest is faster." (Priest) "Whant to make the end of the world? Press the "reset" button." (Sorceress) "I am a born magician. Does anyone disagree?!" (Witcher) "I stole it! Precious! Gollum, Gollum. (Witcher) - reference to "The Lord of the Rings" (is also funny because this voice actor will be the voice of Gollum in "Hobbit") "Stealing spells is vulgar. You need to do everythnig yourself." (Witcher) "*Inhales like a drug* Goood magic. Strong." (Witcher) "That's right: armed and very dangerous." (Hawk) - reference to "Armed and dangerous" "*Sob* Blizzards will make my action figure... posthumously." (Hawk) "We build, you rest. That's the motto of "Union of the elven builders". So rest and don't interrupt my work." (Elf worker) "I hit twice: first on head, later on the coffin lid." (Paladin) "Goblin in armor: canned dragon breakfast." (Paladin) "Good, good! .. The gods are watching favorably. The world is clearing of filth." (Archmage) - reference to Yuri Nikita's "Three from the forest"/"Трое из леса" "The real war will be tomorrow with a hangover." (Mountain king) "As our dear chef says: "Even sobers and people with an ulcer drink at someone else's expense." (Mountain king) - reference to film "The Diamond Arm"/"Бриллиантовая рука" "Wings, legs, tails... The main thing is blood." (Blood mage) - reference to cartoon "Wings, legs and tails"/"Крылья, ноги и хвосты" "Hello, my name is Roy. And i got hooked on magic. It all started a long time ago and at first I didn’t think it would be a problem. Well you know: conjure before the work, cast some spells at lunch and relax a little before bedtime. But later I began to realize that I really could no longer live without magic. And now i don't know what to do." (Blood mage) "I sense...changings in magic of the world of warcraft." (Jaina) "Alright, let's play by your rules. But i will ask questions. So, what was name of Gloin's father? Time runs!" (Muradin) "Well, audience assistance? Calling a friend? Last wish?" (Muradin) "And now the right answer! No, after commercial break." (Muradin) "It's like my nimbus tarnish. Please, look at it." (Uther)

I remember one time as a young boy, I made a custom map and placed every unit down so I could listen to all their custom voices. Aaah back in the day.

0:59 typing on single player mode to see all enemies xD

The goul will say "my precious" if you press f1 more

It really helps me to understand some references from my language version of the game. Some quotes are different (so they are easier to understand for players from my country) but a lot of them are just translated from English, and hard to understand (because can have not so popular sources or never translated sources)

"Wake up time to die" could also be a reference to dreadlord's sleep skill

2:10 In spanish this line is literally translated as: I always get moody during my period.

Mannoroth's sound set is superbly useful for all Eredar for all the maps. Archimonde soundset is probably just a bugged left over, it should use mannoroth lines. On creep units especially from TFT you should take a look at sounds that tuskars and other northrend units added in it have. They dont use their own but changed versions of existing wolf sounds which arent in the files. Which probably means that they are mixing the existing sound on the go or that its baked in somewhere inaccessible like ambient sounds from maps.

Literally abelhawk videos come out I dont need sleep i need answers

Holy shit that "I'm the fifth beetle" from anub got me 3😂😂😂

Abelhawk you are making me feel like a child waiting for the next episode of his favorite show being released I really appreciate all the passion and time you put into this

2:26 Took me like 16 years to find out what he says.

Funny thing about Shade. In czech version his regular voice lines are obviously translated in czech but his attack lines aren't. The localization didn't think anybody would try to give Shade's voice to some other unit in World editor. It's funny to hear his regular speech and suddenly he starts speak in english with completely different voice.

I love the fact that ablehawk still makes w3 contents after all these years of subscribing

You know the biggest necromancy achievement ever ? I don't know...Maybe darkness know...

Another bit of evidence that Tichondrius must've been controlled at some point: the Dreadlord is the only hero you don't get to control in a single mission of RoC. The same later applied to the Pit Lord in TFT, but Blizzard must have realized this and made Varimathras a mixed Dread/Pit Lord hero.

Famous use of "No guts, no glory" is in Die Hard 3: With a Vengeance". The ghoul may be referencing that. Splendid work!

Just realizing how amazing some of these Puns are: "every man lives, but not every man truly dies" - necromancer LOL thats dark...

To everyone getting confused and saying that the Warcraft 3 Crypt Lord is way better: Abelhawk agrees. That's what he said. He was saying that the voice actor from WoW failed to really capture the awesomeness of the Warcraft 3 voice, which was done by Steve Blum iirc.

Thank you, brother! I've been waiting this for days!

4:14 If you have the shade in a group and attack with it as a whole while having the shade selected you get those attack voice lines.

Dreadlord: And then...after i overthrow this fool.. oh! Hello! I-I didnt know you were t-there! I think this is my favourite. I think he breaks the 4th wall and refers to the player that hes gonna overthrow you 😂

"I hope you're not sick of death puns..." Brah I started listening when you said "Scourge".

Cryptlord "And they say Blizzard games Dont have Bugs".

Regarding shade, you can just group him up with attacking units and tab his unit card and then send them on attack thats when his attack quotes comes to play..

Darkness? I haven't found the Demon Hunter number yet! Yes , yes. We will meet at the merchant in Sunken Ruins. Oh you in Kalimdor now? I'll meet you soon, i'm in Ashenvale. Just talking with Malfurion, nothing else. Ah yeah, i have visited Cenarius' grave. Alright, alright. Wait for me at the Tauren's camp, ok?

you are doing great job. glad to see people who are still devoted to this masterpiece. best regards :-)

My might cannot be matched! - Anub'arak's best line

Thanks for doing these! Love it!

I love every damn Abelhawk video

Just found your stuff buddy, don't stop doing this it was some of the best watch i've ever had... thanks ^^'

Great work! Always wanted to see what was actually referenced. Thanks for that :)

These are great thanks for all the hard work.

I will say this to the day I die: Pierra Copolla did Sylvanas better than PJ “nasally growl” Matheson

Nicely done, much appreciated.

Great video. Im too drunk right now to write anything else. So good job man.

So glad I found this channel.

These videos are awesome, thanks for bringing it to us. Ive played all blizz games sine Warcraft 1 and still there are easter eggs that i never got to know about.

I love these videos keep em coming!

This was interesting and fun to hear this units again. It's been like 10 years since I played wc3.

Awesome video!!! I had no idea there was so many refrences !!

really good video I like how you are quick and to the point and dont take one minute per quote going into pedantic time filler.

Another great episode. Hey by the way, on your orc video I think you forgot to mention that Grom's "I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Has Gone" is (in addition to being the song reference) playing on our expectation that they'd just pull "I can see clearly now." from his line from the campaign when he is cured of the blood rage, like how they lifted Sylvanas' line you mention here.

4:51 Always thought that one was a reference to the song Just A Gigolo by Louie Prima. Its a hit.

The video ive been waiting for

4:20 that's the devs being nice to map makers

The Arthas quote eference, I only found out yesterday, while i was snooping around my war 3 editor. Long before I knew about this video. Anyway, great job!

I love these, keep'em coming! :D And dont forget to answer when Darkness calls ^_^

Love the videos. Small note, if you boot up reign of Chaos, then archimonde actually have lines, i believe they are snippets of what he says during the campaign

Thank you , this was a good video!

5:21 *MY GOD KNIGHT RIDER’S THEME HAS BECOME AN IPHONE RINGTONE*

I absolutely love Michael McConnohie as Kel'Thuzad. sends chills up my spine.

This is ive been waiting for

"I Love The Dead" is likely a reference to the Alice Cooper song , "I love the dead"

Damn it, Abelhawk! This entire video must be liked!

I love the research that happens for these videos!

9:11 - *THE HERO HAS FALLEN*

I NEED MOAR ABLEHAWK!

6:48 Cannot believe the Weakest Link custom game didn't have you all be Lichs and use this line. Devastated

I am so excited for the night elf voice keep up the good work!

these videos are amazing, keep it up you earned a sub

How to Sylvanas: Complaining and complaining and you will be warchief soon!

HERE'S ANOTHER ABELHAWK VIDEO SO HERE I AM

thank for doin this man

The "rip" might also reference a fart because of the poison cloud of the unit.

Such a cool video. Just amazing. Thank you

you forgot about Pit lord Azgalors voice, he is hilarious.

This channel is like a time machine to a simpler times.

The Sleeper Awakes is also a 1910 sci fi novel by H.G. Wells

The abomination talks like that because he was stiched together with multiple corpses

Thanks. Your series are great. As big of fan i were, never imagined all v these quetes xD

That line about Darkness could be a foretelling of KonoSuba!

I love it when a video compiles together

6:30 Never been so accurate now.

“You are the weakest lich” has always been one of my favorites. It’s so unexpected.

1:26 is also referenced several times in WoW and Hearthstone with C'Thun being referred to as "The Sleeper." First one that comes to mind is the Hearthstone card "Skeram Cultist." He says "The Sleeper has awoken!" when he's first played.

Lovely great work
