Maybe civ specific with a reference to their mythology?

e.g. greek:

<ColoredPlayerName>'s Hero <HeroName> has crossed River Styx to meet Hades.

e.g. britons

The valkyries led <ColoredPlayerName>'s Hero <HeroName> to valhalla.

Neither is english my mother tongue nor am I a historian but I hope you get the Idea:)

I love the idea! It's quite easy to implement too. And it could be turned it off in the game options, just like the native names can.

nice, maybe @Ultimate Aurelian @Genava55 have some ideas?

Here's an option using a shell trumpet-

I like the sound but I'm not sure if it's for this.

But it is interesting for sound in combat.

I agree with @Lion.Kanzen . It sounds good and fits in the game well. But, in my opinion, when a hero dies one would expect a "stronger" and "darker" sound. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Could the sound be tweaked in a couple of ways to sound a bit more mournful/solemn?

In AOM, there's a special death sound Arkantos makes @0:14 

 

Then a V.O. says to everyone:

The problem with VO , you will need multi language.

I'll prefer a lament from beyond the grave.

Nobody jumped on the sad trombone, but how about a sad shell trumpet?

I actually think the descending tones, drawing out the last, deepest tone would be a good structure. Do have something deeper than a shell trumpet? I feel it should stand out and sound meaningful, and if it is played only a couple of times per game we don't have to restrain ourselves too much.

That's a challenge, for sure, but not insurmountable.

The first versions are easy to launch, you only need English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

Then the problem is Asia and the rest of Europe.

Hey, if we have a translator for that language, I'm sure they can pronounce it.

It's not the same as having a professional voice.

While now having a professional voice may involve using AI.

It’s one short sentence I don’t think think they could bungle it that much.

(and let’s NOT use AI for voices, that’s even worse than unprofessional voice acting)

That won't always be the case.
