Dude, leave it be. You’re already making wildly ridiculous statements on women in history and you just keep jumping to random points I’m not even talking about, and again, this isn’t the place for it lol this convo has spammed the comments enough as it is

Why does it matter to me? Why does it matter to you? It's an optional mod for a single player game that you don't need to download. You made the choice to make a comment and got push back. You don't get to whine about something and then start complaining when people reply. Do you want to be infantilised or do you want to be treated like an adult?

What? History is not full of women wearing the same armour as men in battles and performing well. That's insane. Who told you that and how you so gullible that you'd believe that? About 99.99999% of all combat in mankind's history is man vs man. The contribution of female soldiery is so insignificant that any and all female combatants couldn't even be considered an outlier. This isn't just something I'm saying, it's historical fact.

No, those people are just being normal guys. Again, this has been the standard of gaming culture since electronic games and games were a thing. People would insult and banter with each other. I don't see why it should change for your delicate sensibilities.

Also idk I just feel kinda bad for you, you got bullied a bunch and you retaliated in kind, and now can’t understand why women (and men) who don’t play csgo understandably don’t like being insulted online.
I am not asking you to adjust your perspective for “my comfort”. I am asking you to change your perspective because I’ve seen people who act like you do inevitably turn into self hating douchebags, this isn’t some weird insult or a moral point I’m genuinely saying you might need to eventually take a step back and think for a bit

Regardless this isn’t the place for us to be talking about this stuff, this’ll just turn into a long ass debate that gets nowhere and spams the comments, so let’s just leave it there,

We cool?

Ugh

Ok so first of all women aren’t even troops, they are high ranking or a companion, second idk why you think women aren’t capable of wearing armour lol there’s a long history of girls wearing the same armour as men in battles and performing well, and again it is a video game, why does it matter to you? Why is everything else fine but women fighting is like, an insane stretch of logic to you lmao

I will not adjust my perspective for your comfort. I am taking the time to be bluntly honest with you and inform you why things are the way they are. In my own way, I am respecting you by not trying to pussy foot around. I'm talking to you in the exact same way I'd speak to my friends.

There are things I can suspend my sense of disbelief like... what would make sense to you... Like She Hulk being able to toss around large boulders or jump incredible distances. I can accept this due to the unique situation. I cannot however, suspend my sense of disbelief at watching a 110lb girl wearing armour that's almost as heavy as she is, plus then fighting against men two to three times her size sporting a whole array of biological advantages over her.

@Bluenina I'm not trying to bar you from playing games. I'm trying to explain why women get push back and why gaming culture appears hostile to you. Initially, we tried treating you as treated male gamers. We insult, we berate and "attack" each others. CoD lobbies were legendary for it. Then in come girls and it's as if you're weak, mewling little things that can't take banter. I remember getting called all manners of near unspeakable things and what did I do? I replied in kind. This was the culture but again, girls started coming into the hobby and that ended.

I mean that's fine if you enjoy the mod honestly, and I don't think the mod creator is terrible it's mostly just the way the mod is worded, I apologize cuz it definitely sounded like I was chewing out the creator, sorry. Regardless yeah not the best place to do conversations about the state of the community even if (cough) over 300 comments (cough) Still, use it if ya want!

Also just to add its a fantasy game with unhistoric boundaries and this would make those boundaries set up in a historic basis to the realisitic time of when combat and wars were made like this and had people with heads falling off and blood going everywhere. in my perspective i'd use this so to have male warriors in a sort of normal height and stacked in roman armour in 1000 vs 1000 battles and it'd feel cooler with a few massive male giants around that dominate the battlefeild and i can incorporate strategies from ttw rome 2 or 3 kingdoms and have fun. but heres the real question: why when i search for ai x2 size battles i get this mod that isnt related to what im looking for at all.

im not sure whats happening here but if you are talking about the person that made the mod they have few thousands of hours at the game so they intitled to make a mod for something maybe they want to play with or enjoy and maybe others may want to play with another machanic for a game too. either way please dont spam the steam mod comments, it makes players have a harder time look for what they want to confirm or know about this mod. either way have a good day thx. ^^

Omg it’s the “WOMEN ARE NOT GAMERS” guy
I hate to break it to you but you literally cannot bar the opposite sex from playing what you like because it’s your “hobby” especially for no other reasons than you just don’t think so and you also believe anybody who says you’re wrong is “brainwashed” or whatever

Yes you are clearly being misogynistic towards women and I truly do advise you to try and adjust your perspective
(+I’ve already said the game is obviously not entirely realistic, if you’re ignoring all the leaps in logic necessary for a game like this except for when women are involved I think that says more about you lol)

To pre-empt you, if you think women constitute a massive part of gaming then you're either brainwashed or looking at massaged statistics. The only way "women gamers" come close to party with male gamers is if you include mobile gaming or Facebook games. These aren't proper games either, comparing them to PC or console games would be like comparing a pebble to a mountain.
If you want to come into gaming and the first thing you start calling for is for gaming to change to suit you, then gaming is not for you. We don't want you in our hobby. If you come into gaming respecting what's already there and the established community the way it is, we will welcome you with open arms.

This isn't misogyny, this is realism. Gaming has always been a male space. It's only very recently with nerdy hobbies becoming mainstream have there been pushes to get women into those hobbies and franchises. Like Star Wars, comics etc, they've tried changing their primary audience from the people that are interested in those hobbies to include women and to target the "modern audience". This typically costs them the established audience for an audience that doesn't exist. So absolutely yes, "It's a space for everybody," is bad. You can look across many traditionally male spaces that have imploded or grown obviously worse for trying to appeal to "everybody".

@Bluenina Because women are physically weaker than men. Women are not cut out for soldiery, particularly in a medieval setting. Despite what decades of feminist claptrap would have you believe, the average woman is not able to knock out or overpower the average man with single punches or kicks. Watching a woman being able to wear armour, wield a weapon and be as effective as a man is nonsensical.

@ChaosMarineguyidklol Idk how it “breaks your immersion” that a woman can put on armour and kill you with a sword that’s pretty basic logic (or even normal troops in this game lol) and idk why being sad for the state of misogyny in the community is a sign that “gaming isn’t for me” or whatever, and no, gaming isn’t a male space, it’s a space for everybody. Not sure why that’s a bad thing…?

@Jhonidkthename Even tho I didn’t enjoy the feature in warband I can get where you’re coming from and I don’t mind if the mod is just for that feature, it’s just the “realistic genders” and the description + the weird misogyny in the comments, it all feels very slimy. I apologise if I came off too harsh on it

Thanks for the mod, its nice not having my immersion broken every time i go to a tournament to have a nice duel in front of a cheering crowd just to have my immersion shattered by meeting the noble lady's of court in the melee

@Bleninja This mod is wanted because women are too physically weak to match men even their own size in physical combat. It breaks emersion for a lot of people.

Regardless of that though, there's nothing stopping you from subscribing to a women only mod. If this mod "offends" you or makes you sad or whatever, gaming isn't for you. Gaming is a male majority space and despite outliers existing, it will always a majority male space.

@Blueninja idk about u, but I wholeheartedly love the struggle of playing a female character in a world that does not favor them in the slightest, Warband has this feature, it feels immersive, the grind became more enjoyable & the rise to power became more meaningful in the end.

Genuinely this feels like such a disgusting mod, obviously nobody can stop you from modding what you want, but it’s just so weird. You’re already playing an unrealistic video game with a fake country with fake factions and cultures, but the bit that crossed the line is… women? Like I don’t care if you’re offended somebody disapproves, can you imagine being a woman and looking for cool mods, and all the mods you see of women are either s*x mods, mods to make them more “beautiful” and this… thing. It’s genuinely disgusting

Does this come with a kitchen mod?

Maybe this is a silly question but I haven't played bannerlord for a long time, will this still work on the beta 1.3.0 ?

Finally no more empire girlbosses

@Dugunthi The left are so smooth-brained that I genuinely cannot tell if you're making a satirical post or not.

It's evil to oppress women. We should instead create a mod to include queer folk in the game. WHy can't I have a black disabled male-presenting trans-queen as a player character? Shame on this sexist mod and the sexist game makers for excluding non-binary and differently abled folk.

@Femboy Appreciator Your name is Femboy Appreciator...

Is there a way to get this without nerfing women? I only have this because i found the NPCs get more children when one of the possible parents dont move around so they can be together in peacetime so clans dont get exterminated

The twinks and sword sisters are seething.

Is it compatible with 'no sword sisters'?

It's bad enough that the base game forces a modernistic agenda down our throats, but people get mad if we want to install a mod that affects our singleplayer experience?
We're just not allowed to have a choice or an opinion because you think it's the wrong choice or opinion?

Im in here just to read the comments.

youre a weakwilled bitch and i hope you never get a gf

people get mad over having realism in a video game. is really funny

if the PC is a woman does it also affect them?

@Femboy Appreciator Why are you throwing a temper tantrum about how other people play their game?

BRO WILL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO REMOVE WOMEN FROM A GAME CUZ IT'S HE'S SUPER HEALTHY AND MATURE

Does this break saves?

Even as someone who wouldn't use it because that's not the game I want to play, and I like my power fantasy, I find the people bashing this mod rather confusing. It's a mod. It's not the base game. You don't have to install it. See that subscribe button? You never had to click it. Just don't use it? This isn't a core game feature. It's a mod. Lighten up.

based mod

If you could also rewrite the feminist sob stories that female companions (mercenaries) tell you about why they left home, that would be great.

I always get neutral or enemy disbanding ladies' parties depositing their troops in my towns and overflowing my garrisons because the town is considered their 'home' by the game. Couldn't they be fully deleted as soon as they are created instead if having them disband? The game keeps creating new parties with them cyclically just to disband them.

is this mod works in 1.2.12...?

Redditors forgot Mount and Blade is supposed to be a game set in Medieval times

very based

Look at all these equality nerds here....

@The Balla Koala buddy the game is based on realism and history, doesn't require much intelligence to figure that out

"historical accuracy" buddy I got some bad news... Bannerlord isnt set in real life history.. Caldaria isnt even a real continent :(

Perfect mod

Is this mod going to work with the newest patch of the game?

I clicked on this cause I am a fan of historical accuracy. I really clicked on this cause I wanted to see the fiery war raging in the comments, brothers and sisters torn in twain in a battle of ideologies. Jests treated as facts, lies treated as truth, and history being forgotten and neglected. Woe are the men and women who declare each other wrong for something that is largely opinion. "How dare thou say such a thing", "OMG!1!111!!!!!", "Based", all are words used by such combatants, whether they mean to be or not. But let us not forget, The Idiot in the comments who was just reporting a crash, for they are smarter than us and so they do not fight.

Don't take anything I said previously seriously, I just wanted y'all to take a step back and decide, is it really worth it to fight a random stranger on the internet?

Have a good one y'all.

based mod.

Is there a version with a kitchen? My troops are craving a delightful sammich.
