only for certain factions
barbarians
egypt, and the african-arabian factions
but yeah that is accurate
if you play pure vanilla
i mean i play mostly heavily modded, i tested it out to be sure, with pure vanilla
that seems like it might lead to some issues when playing the game, where even in factions where such generals were somewhat rare, you can unintentionally (or intentionally) end up with a female dominated forced. Which might be some-what immersion breaking. Sounds more like an unintended bug than a feature.
not entirely
unless you willingly just choose men as your candidates and statesmen
you should never be able to just get females
dominated is not only females
unless the RNJesus is against you
RNJesus is always against you, lets be honest lol
yup
however you can choose to not employ them
and, i will say that i'd prefer if CA had not left it to the modders to disable the option
it's bloody fucking common sense
adding an option to disable them in game
and get accused of being sexist?
lol
true
but it would've been easier to "debate" the detractors in that case
guess they could have added "disable males too":
Know what they could have did?
Sorry, it was a bug.
but still it seems like "all wives of male characters in factions which have female generals can then be generals" seems like a real quick way to take a like a 10% spawn rate and make it easily feel like 30% or higher.
But heres a setting that allows you to set it if you want it "realistic"
i don't think its much of a debate to call to CM an idiot who probably should be pulled from PR
true
though apparently the male birth rate is set to 65%
for married couples in the game
strangely enough
so that decreases the chances of female generals even more
does it? or does that actually increase it relative to random spawn pools?
the random spawn pool is different to the birth rate
or so i'm told
well yes, but if the random spawn is only like 10% or something, but the birth rate is up at 35%
does that not mean you have more like a 25% chance or something of getting female generals?
with both combined yes
but you mostly use generals from your own family to increase your own influence
