i agree that the community manager should be fired

2018-09-25 12:02:01 UTC  

but the whole female general thing is completely overblow out of proportions

2018-09-25 12:05:52 UTC  

Its not CA fucking up, its only the CM

2018-09-25 12:06:02 UTC  

I think people are blowing this out of proportions

2018-09-25 12:08:12 UTC  

Quite frankly, once you tweet "If you don't like it, don't buy it." You deserve all blow back you get.

2018-09-25 12:08:20 UTC  

i mean yes

2018-09-25 12:08:26 UTC  

but as long as it's true

2018-09-25 12:08:50 UTC  

and a lot of people are blowing this out of proportion and lying about it

2018-09-25 12:08:59 UTC  

the female general thing

2018-09-25 12:09:01 UTC  

eg

2018-09-25 12:09:09 UTC  

you cannot, for a fact, in the game

2018-09-25 12:09:55 UTC  

People are very on edge and its getting akward

2018-09-25 12:10:07 UTC  

recruiting female roman generals is impossible

2018-09-25 12:10:57 UTC  

so too for the greeks (except egyopt cause of cleo) and the persian/eastern zoriantist faction (pontus, parthia, armenia)

2018-09-25 12:11:10 UTC  

so while on the subject

2018-09-25 12:11:23 UTC  

know any great females in history specifically millitary ones

2018-09-25 12:11:34 UTC  

Besides joan of arc. Shes more of a figurehead in my opinion

2018-09-25 12:11:38 UTC  

only the barbarians can recruit them, and the african-arabians

2018-09-25 12:12:03 UTC  

i mean

2018-09-25 12:12:12 UTC  

Teuta for the illyrians

2018-09-25 12:13:28 UTC  

Boadica?

2018-09-25 12:13:31 UTC  

Was she one?

2018-09-25 12:13:39 UTC  

more of a queen

2018-09-25 12:13:44 UTC  

than a warrior

2018-09-25 12:13:44 UTC  

I love myself a cute woman in armour.

2018-09-25 12:13:50 UTC  

Just not in a "authentic" sim

2018-09-25 12:14:06 UTC  

and i do remember there being a famous warrior queen for the indo-european saka tribe that defeated one of the persian kings

2018-09-25 12:14:20 UTC  

can't remember the name

2018-09-25 12:25:59 UTC  

o shit

2018-09-25 12:26:38 UTC  

who dat ?

2018-09-25 12:36:34 UTC  

@ThePoshBarbarian I did research? Its news, the event is a game a few years old suddenly getting review bombed. Looking at the reviews, they blame female generals where they are not supposed to be, suddenly and out of the blue, or the CM's response. It being overblown in a patter of opinion. Believing Kotaku's take is anything other than hot garbage is on you, its just the first i saw reporting on it, then linked the steam page to confirm that yes: they are review bombing and blaming random female generals and the CM's response.

2018-09-25 12:37:06 UTC  

okay

2018-09-25 12:37:13 UTC  

sorry bout that then

2018-09-25 12:37:29 UTC  

i've just seen enough people lying about this whole thing

2018-09-25 12:37:36 UTC  

it's just pissing me off

2018-09-25 12:37:41 UTC  

<a:boi:412870909712400394>

2018-09-25 12:41:21 UTC  

understandable

2018-09-25 13:37:10 UTC  

@ThePoshBarbarian
this seems like it might have been what makes people see a much higher female general rate than what the spawn tables suggest. Idk how accurate this is since i don't play the game: "The reason for the frequency of female generals despite the low pool rate is that all wives of male characters in factions which have female generals can then be generals, which means that they get far more women than they receive as candidates. This is likely also how the screenshot which shows all women candidates for generalship was created. In reality, all of these candidates are likely the numerous wives of his male characters."

found that in the comments of the video you linked

2018-09-25 13:37:37 UTC  

only for certain factions

2018-09-25 13:37:43 UTC
