rbk414 said:When you create a fictional world, taking inspiration from historical settings, you dont need to adapt everything. Why not create a fictional world that is better than the real one?
If you prefer not having female commanders that is your opinion, I was just saying that you can not justify it with historical immersion when the game is fictional. If they wanted more immersion they would just make it take place in a historical setting.
Personally I think it could be interesting if the attitude for female commanders varied between the factions
The harm is that it would add development time changing something that does not need to change.moonelord said:rbk414 said:When you create a fictional world, taking inspiration from historical settings, you dont need to adapt everything.

The game needs to be updated to fit a modern audience hence female commanders. I like it. It is good. Whether that is historically accurate or not, I personally do not care.

Oxtocoatl said:I agree and have argued in the past that historical accuracy is a moot point in any fantasy world, however much historically inspired.
Oxtocoatl said:If the inclusion of politically and militarily active noblewomen breaks your historical immersion, your knowledge of history is lacking.
As a rule, woman could attain them only in the absence of a legitimate male heir or on his behalf, if he was too young. And then not everywhere. And in cases where it was possible, it was pretty much restricted to highest office of the state, that is ruler of the country. I don't recall any woman holding lower titles.
If the previous title is anything to go by, even faction leaders will roam the map with their retinue and engage in combat. One of the imperial sub-factions is led by a woman, ergo there is almost certainly at least one female commander in the game. There is also the guaranteed option for player characters to be female commanders, which makes two. What's another handful on top of that? Arguments that it breaks immersion are precipitated on the notion that the presence of women in commanding roles is not only unexpected but is so objectionable that it detracts from one's enjoyment of the game. In a game full of anachronisms, why is this particular nail the one in desperate need of a hammering?hruza said:moonelord said:I dont want to see historical immersion breaking stuff no more please
Do you have info about female commanders been added in to the game? From what I have seen so far, Bannerlord will have same or similar restrictions that Warband had on females. All AI lords I saw so far were male.
