Age of Empires II, released in 1999, includes numbered voice taunts that players can trigger during multiplayer matches. Taunt 08 is known in English as the “all hail” insult, while this version delivers the joke in French. These compact lines became familiar through repeated online play, recorded matches, and community videos. The clip remains useful because its mock-royal delivery communicates ridicule immediately, even outside the game, while longtime players recognize the numbered-taunt format and its connection to competitive banter.
About this sound
The French Age of Empires II taunt says “Roi des perdants, nous te saluons,” a mocking salute used after defeats, failed attacks, or bad plays.
This short French voice clip is taunt number 08 from Age of Empires II. The speaker delivers “Roi des perdants, nous te saluons,” addressing someone as the king of losers with a mock-ceremonial salute. Its formal wording contrasts with the blunt insult, giving the line a playful, theatrical sting. Lasting just over a second, it lands quickly without interrupting the action. The taunt works especially well after a failed rush, a lopsided defeat, or any moment when a player’s confident strategy collapses.
