Will there be unique voice acting for each civ like in the later Age titles? It’s a bit weird to hear Choson and Romans speaking the same language for example.
Having unique voices for all civs is unlikely, as according to the information we have so far they are going to stick to the original sounds as closely as possible. Also, it would not be very easy to do, as I’m not sure if anyone knows what many of the ancient languages sounded like.
rogan ?
What,no more rogan? No way. Absolute tragedy.
They will probably have high quality versions of the old sounds or new sounds that are very close to the originals. Music got the remix treatment so voices and sounds might get the same but cant be sure. Lets hope a developer answers.
That’s a thing wildfire games are doing with 0"A.D.
But many languages were lost by test of time.
Would be nice if they gave the option to enable new languages at least. You’d think for Egyptians, Romans and Greeks at least it would be easy to get the archaic languages right. (And you could have Palmyrans speaking Latin/Aramaic, Persians speaking old Farsi, Choson speaking some form of ancient Korean, etc. A lot of these languages are known, even Sumerian, but perhaps recreating languages for the units is not what Microsoft wants to spend its resources on.)

So the Carthage or Punic language?
We’re sticking to the old gibberish, too much nostalgic value in them.
Zokanta?
They said something about 350 character emotes - would this be unit sounds?

Canaanite/Punic can be used for the Phoenicians and Carthaginians. In Civilization V, this is what Queen Dido speaks in her leader screen (see https://youtube.com/watch?v=uunBJbVfRVo )
