I want to just play my cool Roman war game!
I could really care less!
I just care about restoring the empire!

nice try diddy

this comment section makes me pressed, women not being in the game is what killed it for yall? that's sad, like i mean we're all entitled to our feelings but your just pushing a problem-topic into a place it don't belong. but inflated egos along with weak pride make a deadly combo especially when everyone is the main character or some victim of a gruesome crime... People tend to feed the fire they hate.

I mean the guy below this comment called Victorianist is speaking of world wars when the game is about ANCIENT ROME... this sort of comment not only is ridiculous in all ways possible, it is also worthy of a certain finger as you @Darren, suggested. So I am not surprised the devs or community agents lose patience from time to time. It shouldn't have happened, but it did happen, and they aren't totally wrong and it can be understood. Video made on 2018 I know, but still what I said holds true.

I haven't played Rome for ages and while I actually agree with that CA person and what was written in that comment, it shouldn't have been said by a CA person. In either case these comments on this section are all sorts of funny and pathetic. Sure, women did play a role in warfare, but most of these comments in here reflect modern history, not ancient history. In ancient history, only a few cultures allowed women to be a general or lead troops. Or even to serve as soldiers of some sort. We are mostly speaking of a few tribes in here, and the raw numbers were never big to start with.

honestly the worst part about this update was that they made it a base game patch instead of something you could toggle on and off. that and the community manager telling the community to "f off"

im gonna have to agree with these devs. shouldnt give credence to fools just like this comment section shows. so many weird takes in here.

Truth is most of those reviews are because the game sucks shit not because of tits.

@Katsushika
It's the feminist tendancy to portrayed women as either entirely oppressed or "empowered" into the same roles men had.
You are right that historically women have fought in battles. The old total war even showed that. But there were was not a single entire unit ever made up of women. It's purely woke marketing in a franchise, appreciated for its accuracy.
If you want accuracy in this game, women should make up 1 in 1'000 in Barbarian armies at most. Never in Mediterranean or Eastern armies.
It was generally rural tribes where women were allowed to inherit land. They still lived in patriarchal societies where it was the men expected to give up their lives to protect the community & therefore given more responsibilities.
Women also worked too, believe it or not. The nuclear family became the more reliable family model during the industrial period.
The feminist narrative of women being oppressed 2nd classed citizens is utter nonsense & Marxist deconstructionism.

blaghh blaghh, kinda funny ca made a way to cash in on another dlc to solve this non issue.
