Not many women...

[upjoa]

So, I know this might be a silly thing to get upset about, but I hate the fact that they don't have more female leaders. Every civilization should have a male and female option. Can't they use historical women as leaders, like Susan B. Anthony for America? On top of it they removed Joan of Arc. Come on! I'm sure they could dig up some women!

Didn't Civ2 have a women and a man for every civ?

If you hadn't noticed, the US has never had a female President, and I doubt Anthony would have been considered a female leader .

I'm glad at the change. It was ahistorical to have a male and female for every civ. Hell, Joan of Arc was merely a General (she fought for the 'leader' of France, the Dauphan).

Just to be awkward, I'd have preferred Winston Churchill to Queen Victoria for England. One Queen is enough

Not many women...

Wrong kind of target audience for that. How many female civ-players are there? 5% of the total? 2%? 7‰?

Well, my wife and sister-in-law play it.

Don't lie, you all saw something like this coming.

...what are these "fe-males" of which you speak?

[Kardinal]

The question comes down to:
Do you want to be PC or historically accurate?

I think the inclusion of religion, such a controversial topic, indicates they preferred the latter.
