Ah, so it's kind of like what your civil war is to non-americans then? As for battlecries, there's so many to choose from. Hakka pälle! really only applies to the finns. It's their signum, and a sign that the badasses have come to help out their allies (in sweden's case any way). för kung och fosterland! (for king and country) fits rather badly in MWO's Rasalhaug lore. Needs something universal, that everyone can understand. after all anyone, no matter their creed are welcome to join the good fight for the republic. Either a translated hakka pälle: "Cut them down!" Or a "For the republic!" but i guess some yanks might have issues with that. failing all else, just a simple "BEEEEEEEER!" should get the message across

I'm going to have to go and say, generally nobody cares about anyone's civil wars, except the country in which it occurs, the American civil war is not unique in this

Isn't "Frihet" Freedom in Swedish?

If so, we should just use FRIHETTTT. =D

Indeed it is, but multiple E:s make alot more sence then alot of T:s.
In the form you have suggested, it almost sounds like you are trying to say "free heat".

[Magnus Grimm]

Despite the fact it isn't really that nordic, the cry "For the Republic!" seems like a nice rallying cry to me.

[Damion Sparhawk]

I like "for the Meadery!"

The valkyries harvest our dead, I'd rather not give them the opportunity to do their jobs.

I don't know man, it sounded cool.

Haha! That was my thought aswell....

How about: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOOD GAWWWWD!!!

hmmm

[Cartographer7]

"Hakkaa päälle!" ("Hack them down") Sounds great to me. Short and agressive. Hey, could someone tell me how it's pronounced? Just in case I want to yell it some time?

Also, since we're on the subject of viking spirit:

For MEADE! ...and nachos, but mostly for meade!

I vote for THIS.

Not bad, but I favor this.

Please forgive me, but my ancestors were Norwegian, not Swedes.

”hakkaa päälle (pohjan poika)”, ordagrant ”hugg på (nordens son)”.

english: Keep striking nordic son / cut them down nordic son

Its simple and its from the finnish-swedish cavalry in the 1600's

Tyr hjälpe

is great to as it is more from the whole north rather than two parts of it..

[Rexipher Evergrey]

"Until all are Free"

"Men are Free"




Just took some inpiration from this song, as it to me feels like a fight for freedom.

[Alexander Steel]

How about...

"Fear our Aerospace Fighters."

[Damon Howe]

Nah, that's Outworlds Alliance you're talking. WAY different.

[Ulfried Tohrsson]

Here some things in very very old german language :

Heruderac nie Forta must be in english: We are not afraid slaughtering death

Well the video highlights of "Greatest Victories of the FRR military" basically is a repeating tape of a lone FRR aerospace fighter ramming the command deck of a clan warship.....

I'm not making light of it, no other Single House can claim that their military forces forced the clans to stop the invasion for as long as that moment did.

[Acenan]

Some Norse mottos and battlecrys:

Bitit Fyrst - Old norse
"Strike First" (Also the motto for the Norwegian armored battalion i believe)

Gamla lombungr, sugandi toti tik madr. - Old norse
"Thou art morons, sucking at the teat of your ***** dog mother"

Kringlaugd wierd, ein spadi for qvoki ne skeifr drpr munni ne svinhqfdi! - Old norse
"Gaze upon thy destiny, with this sword I will cleave your lying maggot mouth from your swine head!"

Hon varr Draconian(FRR), gamla vis Hruga uskit'r - Old norse
"I am a Draconian(FRR) and thou art less than a heap of s__t"

[Booran]

"Du är körd, nörd"

"You're screwed, geek"

[Luke Perkele]

For victory or death!
Valhall awaits!
We're the guardians of Asgård!
Free will sacrifice!
As free men we are born, and free we shall die!
...and pretty much anything from Amon Amarth.

Drunk jokes also works. I liked *hic, Ragnarök, mead and Tyr, but for the Rebublic is great too!
