You have to make an incredible amount of compromises for a game, and it will never be as close to realistic as you want -- why insist, out of all things, that gender should become uncompromisingly realistic*?
*a rigid conception of 'realistic' that somehow claims to be such even after preventing outliers that truly existed from being possible

You are a sexist.
If women were unrealistic in the 19th century, I guess we'd never have been born, eh? And your towns will be full only of men, eh? No, sir, thank you very much.

Well, don't add female troops... How simple is that?Thvle said:
Also, some fixes in your post, I'm a grammar nazi and can't help it.
Or perhaps you're making an MP mod. In which case my professional advise would be - don't make an MP mod.
But seriously, I understand his point. If you want to get rid of them, without REALLY changing code, just replace the female body,head, etc meshes with the male. Overwrite female sounds with male sounds. etc. Until they do not exist anymore.
Just remember that means all the ladies, town walkers, etc will be men too...

Well I think you shouldn't be so mad at him just for him wanting to delete the women in his mod he isn't offending anyone or doing anything wrong. If he wants to delete them it’s his problem and you shouldn't treat his request unfair by starting asking questions without any reason accept your personal thoughts. He just asked a question, not to hear everyone’s opinion. Also calling him a sexist because he thinks this would be more realistic wouldn't be fair towards him. He isn't a sexist just for thinking that this would be better for his mod and he’s also not offending anyone with this. If you don't like it you shouldn't react to this thread and let other people who might be interested help him.
I'm offended. It's one thing, to not have any regular troops be female. It's another thing entirely when somebody wants to prevent anybody from having a female character. That is sexist.
Oh, and if you want to rant about being helpful, be helpful.
I was just explaining why I wasn't bothering

This doesn't count emergency units where women were armed or irregulars where women got involved; just some prominent examples.
In short, was it common? No. Did it "never happen"? No. Therefore, in a game that purports to resemble history, however loosely, is it sexist to deny female players the ability to have a female avatar? Yes.
Anyhow, now that you've been educated, you can do what you want. I just won't help explain what you'd need to do, if you want to do it in a non-clunky way

Moreover, it does not mean anything. In medieval times women also fought, not by that means let women fight in the army. This until the 20th century, entering the 21, it was not possible.
We're digress ... If you do not know help me, please, stop. Do not make a conflict from nowhere.
I was joking, as specified by the laughing smiley face in a spoiler in my post.MC HAMMER said:

... and had you had more experience around me and my posts, you would have surely seen proof that I am, indeed, intolerable towards improper spelling (and grammar to a lesser extent). Call it a disorder, call it a defect - I don't care, as long as your sentence is correct.Lumos said:
By the way, English is not my first language as well, as I come from Bulgaria. I can assure you that I'm no less a grammar nazi about my own language, quite probably even more than the one I am about English... Because, a thought that does scare me at times, I can't always be certain that my sentences are correct to begin with.
This has been the cause of countless nightmares in which I err at correcting someone.
This last sentence also was a joke. Just in case you believed it.
Besides, calling him a grammar nazi would be a compliment in my book.
Thvle, in case you really do wish to remove women, which is odd, as stated, and was the source of (obviously) misunderstood jokes, here's what to do:
- Follow thick1988's advice - blunt, quick, stylish. However it may cause unexpected side effects in single player.
- Use the (incompatible with NW) WSE in order to force women to become men... But as you're making another NW-based MP mod, this may not be the thing for you.
To all sane people: Jeez, you guys noticed the amount of NW-based mods sprouting everywhere? Is the DLC that popular? Perhaps I should give it yet another shot...
And, by the power given me by my words, I shall cut my own spam right here.
