No sword sisters? No refugee women, nothing. What the hell?!?

[artdayne]

Where the heck are all the women? It's not really Mount & Blade unless I can rescue peasant women from their life of drudgery and turn them into swift death on a white courser.

I hope this isn't some intended change, but rather a temporary absence.

They will be in the game, they are in the encyclopedia. They also have 300 bow skill so they will be the strongest ranged units in the game.

And as expected, the fragile masculinity brigade has to come comment about "natural gender roles". Go crack open a history book written in this century mate, and maybe lay off the Jordan Peterson rants. Your neckbeard is showing.

Lol why everyone on the forum who thinks there should be more female warriors are so hostile. Its laughable tbh. Literally on every topic I came across people immediately assault each other or try to teach history.

The sooner they fully add them in the sooner we can mod them out.

I think it's justified when the title of this thread includes "WhAt ThE HelL?!?!", Instead of asking normally, he is trying to rally up some revolt like a maskot on the streets. An eye for an eye they say, since teaching him manners would take too much work for 0 gain.

 

[Crossbow Pig]

Sword Sisters in warband where very strong, only unit that had access to full plate armor, they are probably going to be added in the near future.

I’m fine with a 80/20 male female wanderer mix. There are plenty of Nobel ladies and empowered women in halls and in battle. I do take issue that the majority I talk to have strong victim mentality or SJW undertones. It is really terrible writing to have injected these juvenile ideas into nearly every employable woman at the tavern. I imagine even those people who complained to no end on this forum cringe at the overdelivering of nearly every accommodation they asked for. Yet you still complain.

This thread isn’t upsetting, it only shows there is no point in attempting to satisfy those who can only be pacified with a pacifier. All this at the expense of realism, balance, common sense, and unique gender roles.

lmao this cracks me up.
you have some female characters that dont want to get raped or married off to random people as reasons for being adventurers and its "sjw victim mentality"
the insecurity of you people is amazing.

 

[Adept]

I have a handful of special female troops

Have you found the other stages as well, not just Sword Sisters?

 

[Brynjahr]

Yes but they have since died and can't remember name

 

[Adept]

That's really promising regardless. It means the mechanics are there, but they just haven't gotten to implementing female peasants yet.

 

[Eidgeniesser]

Apart from the fact that everybody may choose as they like as this is a fantasy setting:
I would genuinely like to know more about this concept of female warriors in history.

To my understanding: Except for the Battanians and Sturgian (and possibly the Khuzaits) it would seem out of place for all other cultures when connected to their historical inspiration (Feudal Western Europe, (Eastern) Roman Empire, Medieval Islam). And to my knowledge even for the Celts and Norse female warriors would be something very rare. For the Khuzaits I could think of some ancient greek reference to scythian female warriors but the Khuzaits are inspired more by the very patriarchal Mongols.

Basically: Feudal or Imperial: No female fighters /Tribal or Nomadic: Female fighters in very rare circumstances.

I for one will limit female warriors through mods so they are something special. Too much of them would just be following 21 century fashions IMO. Maybe somebody can convince me of the historicity of female fighters in great numbers.

 

[Kalle]

I took a Sword Sister prisoner after a 600v600 battle with against the Northern Empire last night so they are in the game. How you, or anyone, can recruit them in the first place though, I have no idea.

 

[Rakean]

Females on the battlefield are cool. I support them. I even modded them in the game. However, like in real life middle age, they should be less than men. Something like 1/20. Specific units with a proper lore is the best. That's not mysoginism, it's just that the average gal who doesn't run 3000mg/w of var lack muscles for the heavy fighting stuff.

You are looking at any culture or time other than your own as inferior and wish to inject your worldview into a game to make a social justice statement and that is exactly the wrong approach to take from either a creative or sociological perspective.

Virtually every hireable woman in tavern is towing the same baggage. She hates men, is being held down in an oppressive society, abused, raped, had to pretend to be a man, etc, etc. It is bizzare and creatively lacking.

Imagine the ego of someone who goes to a different time, place and culture..then goes upto a local and says, let ME tell YOU about how your culture and your experience and how wrong you are, instead of understanding them and where they are at. That is the type of unimaginative writing and design choices that have been injected into the game.

Now if there were some storylines like and women who perceived this time in that way it’d make sense. But the game is not “showing” it is “telling” the player, at every opportunity, how misogynistic, rape culture, scary, abusive and anti woman it is, yet half the nobels, half the commanders, half the wanderers, and one of the rulers are women. It doesn’t add up.

So if you put your own personal ideology on hold and engage the brain and any creative muscle you can stop your SJW rampage and victim mentality around here. You posted something silly to get areaction. The swordsisters are already in game. A powerful unit and likely other powerful units are used sparingly.

99 % of the soldier/companion mods are females. Better luck there if you into that kind of sad stuff.

 

[Ogagon]

Well, it's good that we can turn this game into a harem anime, or a reverse harem, anyways, since I am a weeb, but all the faces look less attractive than my mule, so I have no motivation of really getting any companions, nor do I feel like they're all that special and unique.
Same goes for female soldiers, and wives.

You're projecting your own insecurities onto this game and its comical. Take a deep breath.

Here's a hint, that is actually misogyny. I guess you think every male warrior in history was bigger and stronger than average? Have you ever studied HEMA or fencing? If you think every male student is a better fencer than every female student you're in for a surprise.

Diet and lifestyle effected the size of historical people a whole lot. I guess you also think the places which produced males of smaller stature were also entirely pacifistic and never produced any kind of fighting forces. I mean it must be, if only the strongest males were fit to fight?

This is all garbage. Women don't need to be massively strong to be useful soldiers, nor did they need to be back in the day.

Whether you believe me or not, Mount & Blade is explicitly non-historical. It's at the very least an alternative past, so we're free to explore alternatives. If you don't want female soldiers, don't hire any. Problem solved.

There is no winning a argument against SJW because for every argument you make they will counter with you being misogynistic. Apperantly the history books they read are from 21st century perspective and talking about human biology and female-male body differences doesnt even make sense to them this has been proved in many threads.

[Odione]

Edgelord's gotta edge. Can't help it I see.

Edge here and there... I'm right and if you need more. You can use mods. Just saying.

Same way I use mods to get more "Nordic" vikings.

 

[Orbit-]

I'm not arguing with you neckbeards because its not worth my time.
I'm laughing at you for how triggered you get over the presence of women in your videogames if they aren't depicted exactly how you want.

It depresses me that a videogame I adore attracts so many incels.

You can always keep your twitter learnt arguments to yourself. The fact that you came here to respond just shows how triggered you are actually. So I'd suggest you to take a deep breath and relax, we are not the ones to yell "WhaT tHe HelL WheRes thE FemALE solDieRs" here. If you are going to make a valid argument go ahead, if not do not wander around and assume everyone is triggered incels. I'm all for solid characters be it female or male, but adding them just to add them with empty backstories is BS for a historical game and its obvious TW did that to please SJWs.

I didn't make this thread, I'm just here laughing at you incels who ree everytime women get mentioned. You guys can't even make coherent arguments you just say "SJW" when you don't like something. Its a combination of hilarious and pathetic.

So you didnt make the thread,and you accuse everyone against your pov as incels and here you are triggered by counter arguments. Well what should I say? Its just hilarious you came here to respond and say people are triggered, it seems you are the triggered one. There are many threads with coherent arguments in which you SJWs refuse to read or understand because logic cant reach to you. As I said if you are not going to make valid arguments then stay in your 21st century politically correct world and dont accuse everyone of being misogynistic just because they dont support your POV. Its just pathetic.
