Me too mate, I'm sick of getting "ha-ha-ha" when I told people I want to become a dictator
Despite this the game is still historical impossible because it is still too liberal in regards with treatment of women. For example Cota the Cleopatra option for female main chars should never consider any kind of peaceful relationship with a female main character. He was historically the definition of arch conservative beyond reason. So that choice of romance is weird as hell.
But they've managed to get a semi-plausible way a woman can become dictator for life.
Romans and Greeks were especially patriarchal in comparison with other civilizations of their time.
So be prepared for a lot snide remarks and mysogeny towards a female main character if you plan to play as a woman even in the end you achieve the same endings like a male main character.
*Cries about misogyny that was prevalent in ancient rome*
I mean honestly that just makes the rise to power as a woman in the game even more satisfying, you get to show up all those gutless idiots.
If everyone treated you with respect it would be like playing as a man with different genitals. No adversity, no hoops to jump through, no satisfaction.
And, in such case, you shouldn't check achievements page before you finish this game.
What I mean is, if gender would actually affect such significant parts of game, the game should warn us during character creation, instead of (not in this case, obviously) telling you that you can't have such and such in the middle of a walk-through.
Gender just affects alliances and party members.
It doesn't change the endings. Which for me personally is kind of disappointing, takes all the ooompf of character creation for me.
Sausage fest it is then.
I also played 2 previous games and enjoyed gender equality in them. So I was really surprised about changes in this game.
It is interesting because gender inequality is there for players to witness, and I'm very curious about how a woman in ancient rome would become a dictator...
I thought that is only some sort of naming issue...
She wouldn't be able to own property or be head of family. Think modern Saudi Arabia and you will find out how women were treated in Rome. Or women had it worst in Rome than modern Saudi Arabia.
The fact is the game takes massive liberties with historic truth.
