Its not CA fucking up, its only the CM
I think people are blowing this out of proportions
Quite frankly, once you tweet "If you don't like it, don't buy it." You deserve all blow back you get.
i mean yes
but as long as it's true
and a lot of people are blowing this out of proportion and lying about it
the female general thing
eg
you cannot, for a fact, in the game
People are very on edge and its getting akward
recruiting female roman generals is impossible
so too for the greeks (except egyopt cause of cleo) and the persian/eastern zoriantist faction (pontus, parthia, armenia)
so while on the subject
know any great females in history specifically millitary ones
Besides joan of arc. Shes more of a figurehead in my opinion
only the barbarians can recruit them, and the african-arabians
i mean
Teuta for the illyrians
Boadica?
Was she one?
than a warrior
I love myself a cute woman in armour.
Just not in a "authentic" sim
and i do remember there being a famous warrior queen for the indo-european saka tribe that defeated one of the persian kings
can't remember the name
o shit
who dat ?
@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.
okay
sorry bout that then
i've just seen enough people lying about this whole thing
it's just pissing me off

understandable
@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
only for certain factions
barbarians
egypt, and the african-arabian factions
but yeah that is accurate
