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.

Honestly don't know why you idiots even argued about it in the first place, who gives an f what type of general you control, if you bitch about females being in this game go play DEI or don't play as that faction. If you're complaining about people bitching, then you're bitching too. If you care about people being "incels" you need to go out into the real world, Not everyone is so nice.

Not woke to add women into TW:Rome 2. Women did fight, and lead. That is something we know.
The people are cry over it are incels, manchildren, and the likes.

Am sure if any mention or unit in a world war two game, like the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (all women all black regiment) been used, folk will reeeee for it been woke because, tis all women and all black. The Corps des Volontaires françaises, all women again. Swedish Women's Voluntary Defence Organization. Ye know cause these people somehow feel threatened by women been in games in any military sense. Most forget in the two recent world wars of History, women played massive roles, keeping countries and economies afloat.

For wokeness, I think it is backwards. It is the woke sociopaths who are desperate for reasons to be offended all the time that are raging mad about adding in nice female generals and warriors. They are screaming their hatred of women just to fuel their need to be offended. I am sure if you investigate the far left radicals who review bombed Rome TW2, you will find they are always upset about a lot of "problems" that don't exist and work hard at being offended to push their woke agenda.

Normal decent people have no reason to complain about females in games because they realize females are half the people in the world so they should be in games too to keep it real.

I like having female generals and warriors in all games. They were historical, just not in every army like Romans had no females in the army. But it is perfectly normal to have females in armies like the modern IDF, USA and Ukraine. This game has some nice African units with females mixed in which is really good and female mercenaries, and Empire TW has a cool female African musket unit.

That's really not it. Basically it's two things;
1) When it comes to Historical Games, there's a lot of people that want historical accuracy and immersion.
2) There's an anti-woke crowd that don't want the injection of politics in games. They feel women being added in an upadte long after release is a reflection of the company becoming more mainstream and cow-towing to journalists / the media to earn brownie points. Basically virtue signalling.

I'm not saying these are the reasons CA added this stuff - but that's the reason certain people get mad. Blanketing all the anger with "they don't know what a women is really like" or whatever, or calling people incels, manchilds etc. only drives a further wedge between the "two sides" rather than helping eachother understand both perspectives.
