But that don’t make them trained warriors… anymore than when a female is given a title today.
this isn’t the late 1800s you’re off by more than 400 years man.
There are many instances throughout history of females - especially in similar (defend the village) type situations rising up and fighting - on my list of changes I would make to fix/improve the game adding a female storyline option isn’t really that high - but its not some crazy idea. It really wouldn’t take all that much for henry to be a female.
playing as a female character for part of the game was actually something we where promised during the kickstater.
(Most likely after Henry get wounded early in the game, and playing as Theresa for some time…)
But is was one of the thing they had to cut. But I would not be surprises if it gets added at some point…

and you are totally missing the point.
Iam pretty sure you can find similar stories from across the globe and turnout history of women dressing as men to be treated as men…
But that also make it irrelevant for the game, since we you get treated as a man, then there is no difference game wise. So the one case of a female soldier that was mentioned is irrelevant since the women was disguised as a man.
You Need to say, having a female would give a great opportunity, for dialogues, when going hunting with Hans for Example or against Bernard laughing about her. You could really get immersion (and hatred) into the game. But i still think it has no priority.
I Remember it Not as beeing promised, But as beeing Planned. There’s a different, though im Not quite Sure since im Not a backer.
And again not a trained warrioir. She was important because who she was. Just like a lot of other women trueout the period.
No one with even basic knowledge of the period is claiming that women could not be important or make military decision. Or that they where never on a battlefield.
We got plenty of strong willed and powerful noble women…
I honestly don’t care all that much about this issue but there have been female warriors, some trained, some not, female military leaders, etc for thousands of years - more often than not in fact their rise came in a “rags to riches” fashion that fits in a survived a village raid, work your way out, go from nothing to something story…does it need to be the top priority, nah - is it something that even needs to be added, i dont really care - i just find the “females don’t fight - women back then were burned alived for doing anything but cooking and cleaning” comments that are being voted up and praised as logical responses to be laughably ignorant of the history they are claiming to defend

She was an archer and led military into battle…the red maiden (vikining female) led warriors into battle

Now is the time that you actually back up you claims with proper evidence.
viking are totally irrelevant to the topic of a female warrior in Bohemia in 1403.
Extremely unlikely during this age though. Women wouldn’t. Women were burned at the stake for much less back then. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but women thought much differently back then because they had to. Well more like they were forced to. There’s a better chance of a dirt poor serf missing an arm becoming a squire and a knight than a women.
henry’s entire story is highly unlikely

You asked about females on the battlefield, claiming that that did not happen - if you’re unable to follow yohur own comments then stop wasting my time, kid
no they where not. stop believing in stupid myths…
First of all the whole “she is a witch, burn her” got very very little to do with this period and it was not something that happened that much until after the reformation, where the fear of witches effected all of Europe.
people was not burned at the stack for witchcraft, but for believing in something not sanctioned by the church.
By the 15th century women still had plenty of rights, could own property in their own right and run businesses.
(as we also see in the game)
the real change didn’t happen until the 17 and 18th century. (depending on where in Europe we are talking)
But that do not mean that they where normally serving as soldiers and fighting as men at arms.

it’s not about thousands of years of female warriors. it’s about women in the middle ages in Europe. Unless it was a noble woman they didn’t have a say in anything let alone be a warrior, and even then being a noble woman you were never going to be a warrior, you’re, for a lack of a better word a pawn for a marriage in some power play or alliance, etc.
please go away if you can’t debate history in an adult fashion…
On this forum we got a long tradition of debating history as adult where we actually back up our claims if ask about the sources.
That is why the devs have actually used this forum to get historical inputs earlier in the development process…
but with the horde of new members I guess that is not something we can expect any longer…
no, we don’t.
