Hunting has been a traditional pastime for these women for generations and some become very skilled with a bow and spear as a result. As the empire invades more of their land they are increasingly seen armed and fighting to protect their homes and families. Although it is extremely rare to see a Sturgian woman in battle, it is not unheard of, as unmarried or widowed women can join a raiding party, if their chieftain permits it.īattanian - The women of battania are no stranger to battle.

Sturgia - The war-like men of Sturgia love a good fight and the women are no different! Most women in this snowy place are taught the basics of fighting with an axe or sword and how to use a shield, so that they can confidently defend their farms when the men are called away on raids. In extreme circumstances they can be fielded as auxiliary horse archers. Both the men and women are expected to pull their weight in the tribe and do their share of hunting and w hen the men are away on campaign, its the women's duty to protect the tribe's herd. Khuzait - The horse and the bow are the great equalizers between the sexes and the nomadic people of the Calradian steppe are taught to ride and shoot from a young age. These women are recruitable from the villages in their respective factions and the AI will use them too but its a rare occurrence. The default is set to 10% for normal troops and 5% for noble troops so they are a rarity in the game. You can change the ratio of men to women in the config file. Only the 'barbarian' factions will have female troops, this is because (in my opinion) I feel it is more 'realistic' that barbarian women would have the opportunity to become warriors as their cultures are more accepting of fighting women. Most of these women are not made for brutal frontline combat but they shine in supportive roles like ranged skirmishing, assisting in harassing and flanking the enemy and to make up the numbers in the levy.

They are not OP (actually they are kinda weak in the lower tiers) and are as 'realistic' and 'historically accurate' as I can make them. I have taken my time to think about each faction (and the real-life factions they are based on) and made a lore-friendly female troop tree for each one. I wanted them to be unique troops in their own right but fit in with their factions and their particular style of warfare, while remaining balanced. I didnt want to just add some random women for the sake of it and I didnt want to just make a female version of the male troops.
