Or...

 type { unit_type ; split each entries by "," }

      end

Note: Although sound bank "unit_taunt" is declared in M2TW, there is no sound events assigned to it.

BANK: druid_chants/creeching_women/war_cry (RTW ONLY)

This part below is RTW only, all of these sound banks are disable in M2TW and not declared.

Start with sound bank "druid_chant".

 BANK: druid_chant

 type { unit_type ; split each entries by "," }
      event lod 5 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}

        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end

Follow by sound bank "screeching_women".

 BANK: screeching_women

 type { unit_type ; split each entries by "," }
      event lod 5 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end
      event lod 10 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...

          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end

Then end the file with sound bank "war_cry".

 BANK: war_cry

 type { unit_type ; split each entries by "," }
      event lod 5 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end
      event lod 10 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end
      event lod 30 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end
