Fine. The alternative as stolen from Ben Webb is

I would add "this may be found in your distribution's gettext or
gettext-devel package" for extra clarity. This message makes no difference for
people without packages.

Okay, there seem to be a few distinct sounds needed for land combat
 
Land Combat Attacking

Ancient legion/pikemen/etc 
Horsemen/knights 
Catapaults

The current combat sound is fine for muskets/riflemen/marines etc.

I found a lot of appropriate sounds at www.meanrabbit.com. The problem lies in
their license. It sounds rather draconian and I do not believe it to be GPL
compatible.
