RNJesus is always against you, lets be honest lol

2018-09-25 13:43:41 UTC  

yup

2018-09-25 13:43:57 UTC  

however you can choose to not employ them

2018-09-25 13:44:33 UTC  

and, i will say that i'd prefer if CA had not left it to the modders to disable the option

2018-09-25 13:44:41 UTC  

it's bloody fucking common sense

2018-09-25 13:45:03 UTC  

adding an option to disable them in game

2018-09-25 13:45:15 UTC  

and get accused of being sexist?

2018-09-25 13:45:16 UTC  

lol

2018-09-25 13:45:28 UTC  

lets face it, its how things would play out. neither side would be happy

2018-09-25 13:46:12 UTC  

true

2018-09-25 13:46:44 UTC  

but it would've been easier to "debate" the detractors in that case

2018-09-25 13:46:47 UTC  

guess they could have added "disable males too":

2018-09-25 13:46:48 UTC  

Know what they could have did?

2018-09-25 13:46:53 UTC  

Sorry, it was a bug.

2018-09-25 13:47:00 UTC  

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.

2018-09-25 13:47:04 UTC  

But heres a setting that allows you to set it if you want it "realistic"

2018-09-25 13:47:35 UTC  

i don't think its much of a debate to call to CM an idiot who probably should be pulled from PR

2018-09-25 13:47:40 UTC  

true

2018-09-25 13:48:00 UTC  

though apparently the male birth rate is set to 65%

2018-09-25 13:48:09 UTC  

for married couples in the game

2018-09-25 13:48:17 UTC  

strangely enough

2018-09-25 13:48:34 UTC  

so that decreases the chances of female generals even more

2018-09-25 13:49:09 UTC  

does it? or does that actually increase it relative to random spawn pools?

2018-09-25 13:49:29 UTC  

the random spawn pool is different to the birth rate

2018-09-25 13:49:34 UTC  

or so i'm told

2018-09-25 13:49:54 UTC  

well yes, but if the random spawn is only like 10% or something, but the birth rate is up at 35%

2018-09-25 13:50:11 UTC  

does that not mean you have more like a 25% chance or something of getting female generals?

2018-09-25 13:50:31 UTC  

with both combined yes

2018-09-25 13:50:59 UTC  

but you mostly use generals from your own family to increase your own influence

2018-09-25 13:51:09 UTC  

at least you should

2018-09-25 13:51:48 UTC  

in which case, you tend to try and marry of family members quicly

2018-09-25 13:52:08 UTC  

which does increase the female rate in a way

2018-09-25 13:52:19 UTC  

if you have male family members

2018-09-25 13:52:34 UTC  

hold on, if you have 65% males, and you marry them off, suddenly you now have at least 50/50 possible generals no? "all wives of male characters in factions which have female generals can then be generals"

2018-09-25 13:52:41 UTC  

of that 65%

2018-09-25 13:52:47 UTC  

though, the marriage functions is independent to the spawn rate

2018-09-25 13:53:08 UTC  

well, females start off as stateswomen

2018-09-25 13:53:11 UTC  

politicians

2018-09-25 13:53:21 UTC  

you have to willingly recruit them

2018-09-25 13:53:59 UTC  

well the problem is not that they are generals, is that they can be generals, is it not?

2018-09-25 13:54:02 UTC  

wait 65% is the birth rate of males of married characters
