How to Turn OFF Female Soldiers?

[muu suu nuu]

Hello

I recently reinstalled the game. I was having fun playing the Grand Campaign as the Huns, when I noticed something bizarre. Half of my own troops and the enemy troops were women. Why are half of the units women? Also the "roar" of battle has been changed to include female screams and battlecries. This is historically inaccurate and weird to play. I don't want to kill women in this game, that's wrong and makes me uncomfortable.

It is not historically accurate to depict female soldiers in 4th century steppe warfare. This was a primitive and cruel time period where women were not allowed to become soldiers. I checked for some of the other civilizations, women have been added to other tribes as well. The Vandals did not have female warriors hahaha. They were brutal barbarians who raped and slaughtered women en masse -- is there any historian who thinks that women were fighting so commonly back then? And if you say "it's just a computer game -- it's not about historical realism", then how did this new feature improve the game at all? Is anyone having more fun now that women are being massacred on the battlefield?

When was this added? Was there a patch or dlc that changed this?

Is there a way to turn it OFF? I like playing this game and wondering what life was like in times of the past, but this addition is strangely jarring and pulls me out of immersion.

TL;DR what's with all the female soldiers and can i turn this unrealistic option off?

When there are no women units in the game like in Rome1 the Attila girls on battlefield are a result of the designs. There is no way to switch off. You have to exchange the designs. Maybe there are mods available.

Rome 2 is even worse in this regards, they even added Women Generals to it.

Though that mod probably doesn't work now, you can check out its file, and edit them yourself with PackFileManager

Not yet. You cannot recruit female generals yet. Now obviously that is Misogyny of the highest kind.

You can do it for certain factions. One was Egypt I believe, and one faction was close to Rome, you can see the leader is female

Woke culture, woman power and empowerment replacing historical facts and accuracies.

It's not as historically inaccurate as you might think.

The reason this era of history is sometimes called the Migration Period is because entire tribes were leaving behind their homes to escape from worsening climate and encroaching Huns.

When you see a Germanic band on the battlefield, remember that those aren't professional warriors - they're regular civilians who took up an ax or club because necessity demanded it. That's why a lot of horde buildings are civil in nature - because these warriors and pillagers are bringing their families with them.

Women did not fight in this time period. This is a historically inaccurate portrayal of the time period.

and to proove its not just europe

now whilst the numbers of women warriors is exaggerated for political correctness but enough ancient material talks about them in just about every nation to make it more than possible, and Roman Generals do have diary entries that specifically talk about fighting women warriors. now the same level of womens remains on battlefiels in Germany exist from Roman times but it has always been disputed that they were with the army as camp followers rather than fighting forces, but they were found at the heart of the battles not in a camp area behind the battle lines.

Now both sexes vary in size and have all through history, that your size and strength argument is laughable.

The way I look at it is enough proof exists for a few nations that definitely had warrior women that I would argue that the accounts of women warriors in orther nations is not beyond belief.
