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
lets face it, its how things would play out. neither side would be happy
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
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
at least you should
in which case, you tend to try and marry of family members quicly
which does increase the female rate in a way
if you have male family members
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"
of that 65%
though, the marriage functions is independent to the spawn rate
well, females start off as stateswomen
politicians
you have to willingly recruit them
well the problem is not that they are generals, is that they can be generals, is it not?
wait 65% is the birth rate of males of married characters
