Even if you listen to our beloved casters, Luvnest for example, despite speaking English fluently, you can guess he's German based on subtle differences in word stress, and also small pronunciation differences like the constant V. For example, "Strategy" and "Strategic", almost all non-natives pronounce them the same "ES-TERAA-TEGEE/ ES-TERAA-TEGEEC" which is incorrect.


If you want a good sounding "accent", you have to change the stress. I think the major factor in the accent is not the pronunciation of Ch, Sh, R or other vowels and constant, but the stress on any given word. This is true, my uncle's wife was a German flight attendant, she could speak with 100% American accent (north). It is probably true the stereotypical German accent isn't common anymore, because with the world so inter-connected they now learn the language, and the accents, by copying natural speakers rather than exclusively from books and educators. Relics next generation engine, dubbed Essence, was introduced with this game, succeeding the aging Impossible Creatures Engine used by Dawn of War.It was ported to the Apple Macintosh in May 2013 as Company of Heroes. One a result of learning English with the aid of British media, and the other a result of the person moving to Australia. Company of Heroes is a Real-Time Strategy PC game set on the Western Front of World War II.It was created by Relic Entertainment, the developers of the Dawn of War series. I know 2 Germans, one speaks with a very British sounding accent, and one with a very Australian sounding accent.
