    The historical accuracy argument is still around?

    ...really?

    Didin't I post mentioning at least three by name before?

    And that link Xeno had with a bunch from the 17th century backwards. Where did that link go?

    But aside from that, the fact that there were women cited as participating and even one or two leading kinda points that, while uncommon, it still happened.

    Statistics aside, if it happened then it happened.

    Not to mention as another put it, if you're playing this an anything other than a recognized noble you'll get lynched for most of your actions during this time any ways.

    I'm actually surprised more people haven't just said "Yes, there weren't a lot of female soldier/leaders... I could be one of those few". Instead, they get embroiled in a side debate of proving whether or not there were actually women in armies back then, etc. etc.

    Nice story, I like it. Only thing is, the IS doesn't really forbid religion like you said here. They just don't busy themselves with it that much.

    Eh, I worded it funny. What I was trying to get across was that NOTHING was more important for them than nationalism, not even religion (and given that it is written by a Swadian, they would of course have taken special care to note that "Not even religion keeps them from being patriotic!")

    TEATRC tribute & universe expansion

    This is based on my own IS TEatRC game, where the Swadians have kept a peace (and sometimes an alliance) with us for a while, and based on the back story of the two nations being the divided remnants of the Ellisians. This is supposed to take place before any major meeting between the Imperial State and other empires/states/nations, with the gunpowder-army strategy still a mystery to the world.

    To the Hand of Emperor Sigismund Augustus

    Journal of Gustav Octavius, General of the Holy Swadian Empire

    Our brothers in arms of the Imperial State, hereafter referred to as the Kaiserlicher (after their own language and idiom), are a most intriguing military force, unlike any with which I have served or, indeed, against which I have fought. They worship, dare I say it so blasphemously, at the foot of technology; their military is a machine built on the gun, and the implications of a force so armed are... terrifying, to say the least. One evening, I asked my host, General Adolph Von Baeseler, about his military's tactics and strategies. After a noticeable hesitation, he gave up a bit of knowledge, which I have included in the addendum to this document. When pressed, however, he fell silent, presumably because I was probing into State secrets; I take special care to write “State” as such, as the Kaiserlicher nation is one that is wholly nationalistic, not even allowing religious worship in the way of their utter pride for their homeland. Despite Your Grace's likely interest in this matter, I do not push the issue of religion when speaking with my hosts; I quite enjoy having them in a hospitable mood.

    I was fortunate enough, if that is the right word, to witness my hosts' combat prowess when they engaged a formation of Ellisian deserters. The enemy was nothing to ignore; their hundred-some footmen and horsemen outnumbered my host's primarily-infantry numbers two-to-one, and I will be the first to admit that I feared for our safety. I was none-too-pleased when I remarked that there was nothing to be ashamed of with regards to a tactical retreat, when faced with numbers twice one's own; I will say, though, the bruise Von Baeseler left on my ego was not insignificant, as he literally laughed away my concerns. “With these numbers,” he said dryly, “the Ellisians should be running from us”. Realizing I would not sway him, I acquiesced and told my bodyguard to be ready to ride at the first sign of weakness on the Kaiserlicher troops' part.

    Folly, in retrospect, to make such a declaration; my men likely think me a coward, especially with the way in which Von Baeseler's men crushed the opposition. Of course, at the time, we didn't know what we do now. The battle began much like any other would, except Von Baeseler pointed out the nearest hill and directed his men atop it. My allies consisted almost completely of the elite Kaiserlicher Guard, veteran soldiers whose service was long and successful, and they were consequently armed with well-honed double-barreled rifled guns. Their accuracy was unlike anything I have ever seen; through their crafting skills, the Kaiserlicher gunsmiths were able to manufacture weapons of uncanny precision, as I would find out.

    I watched as the Ellisian Footmen pushed forward, screaming a war cry; they rapidly pushed past the point where an archer contingent would have engaged, and I shifted nervously on my horse. Were the Kaiserlicher gunmen not going to fire on the enemy? Was their a method to their madness? The enemy infantry had slowed from a full jog to a labored hike up the incline upon which we were situated, but nonetheless they were far too close for comfort. I was just about to tell the horsemen with whom I trusted my life to follow me off the battlefield, when I heard Von Baeseler's voice ring out. “Front rank... take aim!” Half of the Kaiserlicher Guard presented their arms, sighting targets; I was told that, unlike any other army, the Imperial State taught its soldiers to aim at individual targets, as their weapons were accurate enough to engage whatever targets the shooters chose. And so it came to pass that, at perhaps 60 paces, Von Baeseler cried “FIRE!” The crack of the many guns fused into one loud cacophony of sound, and the enemy line crumpled; at least half of the opposing soldiers fell, the survivors' screams overpowering the gunfire.

    The wounds these weapons rend are not insignificant.

    The standing enemies wavered, looking around for their commanding officer; but the few horses that had been in the charge were riderless, thrown from their saddles by the hail of metal. Von Baeseler gave them no chance to recover, though, giving an order for the Kaiserlicher Guard to “Fire at will!” The gunfire was much less concentrated, the disciplined soldiers firing one at a time in a ripple down the line, each waiting to see that their target was not taken down by the previous shooter; the Kaiserlicher military is nothing if not efficient. As quickly as it began, the 'battle' was over; the captain of the Kaiserlicher Dragoons gave a charge order and they ran down the routed enemies that remained, shooting from horseback with their pistols rather than sully their pristine cavalry sabres. Von Baeseler rode over, the battle over so far as he was concerned; his hand swept the battlefield, the moans of the dying men only serving to make the butcher's yard that much more horrifying. “So, Gustav,” he said familiarly to me, and I nodded in acknowledgment. He caught my eye, and the look in his was nothing short of frightening; he enjoyed this slaughter. “Now, you know, what the Imperial State is capable of. May our two empires be strong, together, and we will wipe these scourge from Calradia.”

    May God forbid we ever war with them, Your Grace.

    At your service,

    General Gustav Octavius

    Sınce they shot or slashed (depending on the time and weapon) women after wars or during raids (let us remember the crusades and native american slaughter for a moment), i dont think an army would hesisate to shoot women at all especially if they were armed. But i dont think women were joining battle in disguise... I mean COME ON! They camp, they talk, they get inspected for discipline, supplies and equipment. This is not lord of the rings wake up. Women might have definately fought in sieges ( defending) or maybe defending their village againist raids or perhaps defending caravans etc. but i dont think women fought officially in army in those times. If there was a single female commander in those times and regions, i think you would definately have a female character creation option. Btw im not saying those to defend fire and sword, i think fire and sword sucks (especially compared to warband) and i dont understand why you want to play it while you have warband.

    Actually, the game is set roughly during the 17th century, if not the 16th.

    So... we have a single Swedish cavalry(wo)man, and a Spaniard -- the former would be the only that has any bearing on the question of history in WF&S.

    Some of you sexist trolls are hilarious, and obviously hate strong women, probably because we hurt your fragile little egos. Try living in the real world instead of the delusional one you've made up that think you guys are superior to women. Nothing I've said is untrue, as a google search will reveal if you know, are too afraid to leave your PC and look around the real world. I, like Boudica are stronger then most men despite what ever delusions you harbor over it being impossible.

    Thankfully at least there are some good guys around here that dont believe the nonsense being spewed. Right now, in real life, women are doing 'guy jobs', and fighting terrorists, on a front line no less, DEAL WITH IT. No amount of your sexist whining is going to change this, theres so many news articles to prove women are fighting and winning in war.
    点击展开...

    See, this is why feminists will always be given ****, even if what their underlying message is is true, that 'strong woman' ****. There's a difference between equality and this apparent god-complex you feminists have. Women can be socially equal to guys, I'm not going to refute that, but the way feminists come across, women deserve MORE than men.

    No one argued that it's possible for women to be stronger than men; Bruce Lee was only about 5 foot 7 inches, and he was stronger than men many times bigger than him. No one is arguing that special cases exist; but to ignore the biology of musculature and the human physiology is silly. The average man is stronger than the average woman, fact. As such, women (and unfit men) don't belong in fields that require great physical power unless they can prove that they belong there. Feminists seem to believe that women should get a free pass to do 'men's' jobs. If you are a woman that can carry 100-pound loads all day, then by all means, enlist in the military. But like a poster pointed out a few pages ago, the women's fitness requirements for the U.S. military (and, unless I'm mistaken, militaries around the world) is lower -- they need to do less work to qualify. That's hardly equal -- you want to prove you can do all a man can, say in the U.S. Marines, than you damned well better be able to run 3 miles in 28 minutes and do 3 pull-ups (not 'flexed arm hangs'). Unfortunately, that is not the case.

    You want equal rights to serve in the military and do manual labor? Then you have to do an equal amount of work. Most women can't (again, ***** at me all you want, it's basic human physiology), so until the human genome rewrites itself so that women produce lean muscle as easily and readily as men, they won't appear in those fields.

    Actually, that 4.2 on Metacritic is one of the reasons I didn't buy it.  I figure if it's that low, there's probably a reason.

    No, that wouldn't actually be appropriate or even logical, considering that you get female Companions.  I love how you guys just skip that little detail, like all of the rest of the inconvenient facts that get ignored.

    I think it's also extremely notable that you can play as a woman online, but not in SP.  That coder must not have gotten the memo.

    Hey, guess what? The RUSSIAN modders who created the original WF&S mod didn't want you to play as a woman! Obviously, they don't think it fit!

    So if you want to complain about the lack of female PCs, brush up on your Russian and go ***** to them. Until then, you're making a massive fuss about nothing. As you repeatedly said, being female in the game doesn't change your combat abilities -- you won't aim better, or run faster, or any of that, compared to playing a male character. This is a basic RPG, hardly worth the title, so -- wow, a few TEXT-ONLY lines saying "You fight well for a woman" don't appear! Whoop-dee-****ING-doo!

    You make it seem like not having female PCs changes anything. Well, it doesn't affect gameplay (unless you want to take back your whole "women can be just as strong as men!" bit), and if you really think a few lines of dialogue changes anything, then you're playing video games for all the wrong reasons.

    I don't get pissed at a game with a female PC because it doesn't 'represent' me. I play the ****ing game. If having to play as a male character upsets you so much, then don't play. I know, "WARBAND HAD IT FFFFFFUUUUUU" but THIS IS NOT WARBAND. Hell, this wasn't even TW, except to publish it for international release. This is basically a mod you can purchase, and the modding team has free reign to add or remove 'features' as they see fit.

    I love when feminists ignore basic human physiological trends.

    No matter what you say or do, no matter how hard you complain or how much you protest, the baseline human male will always surpass the baseline human female. Men simply are hormonally driven to have more lean muscle mass.

    Socially, yes, women can be equals. Physically, two people, one male and one female, doing the exact same workout regimen will always end with the man being stronger.

    点击展开...

    Care to devise the difference of the different guns?
    点击展开...

    In order of general adoption and usage:

    Matchlock = A burning match cord (like a little rope) is held by a spring that you cock back (like the hammer in modern firearms). You dump a little powder into a flash pan (which is connected by a little tube to the barrel) and the rest into the barrel's muzzle. When you pull the trigger, the match hits the powder, ignites it, and fires. The match and powder are open to the elements at all times, thus rain WOULD make matchlock weapons inoperable.

    Wheellock = A sort of tangent improvement, this basically was an internalized mechanism using a wheel that, when ground by the pull of the trigger, would generate sparks and ignite the powder in the pan (same firing mechanism). This had the advantage of being completely covered once you closed the powder chamber, but the mechanism was expensive and complex, requiring a well-trained gunsmith.

    Flintlock = A simplified wheellock, taking all the conveniences while integrating a matchlock's simplicity. The mechanism is a bit more complex than the matchlock; the flash pan is covered by a 'frizzen', which includes a metal piece that rises up. The hammer, in this case, holds a piece of flint; when you pull the trigger, the hammer snaps forward, pushing the frizzen forward (and thus exposing the gunpowder when needed to fire), and the flint striking the steel piece (I'm unsure of the term) generates sparks as it drives downward, thus removing the elemental concerns (flint and steel can be struck for sparks even when wet).
