== Lines ==
Suleiman is voiced by Yavuz Vatansever. He speaks Ottoman Turkish using late 19th/early 20th century Ottoman pronunciation rather than the pronunciation of Suleiman's time. For example, when declaring war he pronounces the word "your" as "sizin" with n as the final consonant sound, while in Suleiman's time it was pronounced as "sizüng" with ng as the final consonant sound. Also, almost all of the sentences have broken grammar and incorrect vocabulary. Despite all of this it's a huge improvement in historical accuracy from the previous installment, where Suleiman spoke plain modern Turkish.

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (Ottoman Turkish)	Notes
Attacked 	Good. The world shall witness the incontestable might of my armies and the glory of the Empire. (lit. "Oh, good. The world shall witness the incontestable might of my armies and the glory of The Sublime Ottoman State.")	ها، اعلی! جهان، اردولرمڭ غیرقابل انكار قدرتی و دولت علیۀ عثمانڭ احتشامنه شاهد اولیجقدر

Ha, âlâ! Cihan, ordularımın gayrikābil inkâr kudreti ve Devlet-i Alîye-i Osmân’ın ihtişamına şâhit olacaktır.	He actually says the official name of the Ottoman Empire ("Devlet-i Alîye-i Osmâniye") but says it as "Devlet-i Aliye-i Osman," which literally translates as "The Sublime Osman's State." This is obviously either a mispronunciation or mistranslation, because it was never referred to as such. The correct way to say this part would be "Devlet-i Alîye-i Osmâniye'nın ihtişamına." The word "Ottoman" is a historical anglicization of the name of Osman I, the founder of the Empire and of the ruling House of Osman (also known as the Ottoman dynasty). Osman's name in turn was the Turkish form of the Arabic name ʿUthmān (عثمان‎).
Declares War 	Your continued insolence and failure to recognize any preeminence leads us to war. (lit. "Your continued insolence and lack of perception aside from my preeminence, we did battle.") 	سزڭ ممتد كستاخلغكز و بی‌ادراك عزتمزدن ماعدا دار و كوب ایلدك
----
Sizin mümted küstâhlığınız vü bî-idrak izzetimizden mâ'adâ, dâr u kûb eyledük.	
Defeated 	Ruin! Ruin! Istanbul becomes Iram of the Pillars, remembered only by the melancholy poets. (lit. "You ruined it! You ruined it! Istanbul becomes the city of Iram, remembered only by poets suffering from melancholy.") 	خراب ایتدڭ! خراب ایتدڭ! استانبول، شمدی یالکز ﻣﺎﻟﻴﺨﻮﻟﻴﺎدن مضطرب شعرانڭ خاطرلادیکی ارم شهرنه دونمشدر
----
Harab etdun! Harab etdun! İstanbul, şimdi yalnız mâlihulyâdan mustarip şuarânın hatırladığı İrem şehrine dönmüştür.	
Greeting 	From the magnificence of Topkapi, I, Suleiman, Kayser-I Rum, bestow upon you my welcome. 	عظمت طوپقپودن بن سلیمان، قیصر روم، سلاممزی احسان ایدرز
----
Azamet-ü Topkapu'dan ben Süleyman, Kaysar-i Rûm, selâmımızı ihsan ederiz.	The name "Topkapu" is anachronistic for the time of Suleiman; the palace wouldn't acquire that name until much later. It was called Yeni Saray or Saray-ı Cedid (New Palace), as opposed to the Eski Saray (Old Palace) which was the first palace built by Mehmed II after 1453, and subsequently became the residence of the imperial women. Most of the time they would use more abstract terms when referring to the palace, like "âsitâne" (doorstep). So a more historically accurate translation for this line would be something in line with "Âsitâne-i saâdetden ben Süleyman..." ("From the Doorstep of Felicity, I, Suleiman...")
Quote from Civilopedia	My companion, my everything, my shiny moon. 	? 	This is a line from a poem written by Suleiman to his wife Hürrem Sultan.http://acta.bibl.u-szeged.hu/72839/1/altaic_and_chagatay_lectures.pdf

Agenda-based Approval: Our poets and philosophers hold up your civilization as the light of the world, and I must agree with them.
Agenda-based Disapproval: Aspire to be a worthier example to the rest of the world! Your people will love you if you lead them to glory.
Delegation: I send you gifts of rubies, emeralds, goldwork, and many delicacies, as well as a chesnidjibashi who will taste them for poison on your behalf.
Accepts Delegation From Player: We have received the gifts from your delegation. They have been placed in the treasury with those of the others.
Rejects Delegation From Player: If you send a delegation, they will be turned back at the gate. Spare them - and yourself - the shame.
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: God has given you wisdom to see the alignment of our interests.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: Who are you to claim friendship with me? You are not my equal, merely an ardent admirer.
Denounced by Player: You are the liege of the viper, the jackal, the vulture, the hyena, the rat—all things hateful and spiteful claim you as their ruler.
Denounces Player: Your insolence and effrontery are permitted only inasmuch as they are a lesson to the world in how not to treat me.
Invitation to Capital: If you tell me of the location of your capital, I shall make a gift of my capital's location, as a sign of my generous intent.
Invitation to City: I would welcome your representatives to take in the sight of my palace and my capital, that they may be awed by its majesty.
