>>283723451

Most women didn't fight. Understandable, since most men did not give two shits about courtesy or privacy. Therefore women didn't WANT to fight.

They followed armies as camp followers, yes. But never participated in battle.

If you care about history that much, historical accuracy mods will fix it.

Haven't got the game yet, but aren't the women only in the Germanic/Frankish levy units? If that's the case, I couldn't care less. Sure, they're probably overrepresented, but it did occur at the time. It's not like Total War hasn't been guilty of worse historical inaccuracies in the past.

Historical accuracy for Atilla's period is pretty much entirely conjecture at points.

historical accounts mention female warriors, In fact, Scythian and Sarmatian women warriors is often cited as the myth of "Amazons" originated from. So no, it's not historically inaccurate.

No anon, what you meant to say is that some vikings that are renowned are female

just like sometimes my shits are work of art.

I wouldn't call my shits renowned art though.

Famouse vikings, regardless of gender are the ones that have an impact on history. The guy that was carried around on his shield is a famous viking because there are written accounts of his character in spades.

first of all stop believing the Vikings tv show is 100% accurate tale and not fantastical bullshit elaborated on to make a good show. Shield maidens are/were purely a myth. Second of all, these Scythian women warriors you speak of had no choice but to band together to defend themselves from invaders because their husbands were nomadic warriors who would leave home for months at a time. They never went on the offensive, nor were they particularly good fighters.

>>283722476
Historyfag here.

Nomadic culture places very little emphasis on gender roles until after marriage. In nomadic cultures, women are taught to hunt, they are taught to fight and they were used in combat.

Women have largely been "written out" of history of combat and war and it's largely a Greek then Renaissance phenomenon. The Greeks were so full of shit that they claimed that "Women warriors cut off their breasts to fight because fighting as a female is unfeminine" and the renaissance is just filled with historical revisionism, subjugation of women (it should be noted that the cause of this is often linked to the Black Plague, where population imbalanced made women much more numerous than men and thus towards the mid-late middle ages, women were taking up more and more powerful offices and positions which the church was threatened by)

Ancient burial excavations show that in ancient societies, generally women made up roughly around 20% of armed forces. (though this changes depending on time and specific cultures of course)

>>283729902
That would be interesting if the game didn't take place 400 years before the viking age. You're an idiot.

>>283730034
Cimbri were around at that time. They had some pretty vicious female warriors (at least according to the Romans)

>>283729634

>>283729786

I can't find the viking you speak of with a google search, but I could find a nameless frank that stopped a catapult from firing on a village near manzikert during the battle.

People have to do things of significance for history to record the details. Women, frankly, did not. There was no massive cover up of the achievements of women in history, there just wasn't that many heroic women figures, most women were complacent at local politics and family rearing.

>>283722476
You're retarded. A hastily constructed militia during the 5th Century AD would almost certainly have a few women around. Contrary to what SJWs will tell you, it's not a fucking sliding scale of "THE OLDER IT IS, THE MORE OPPRESSED THE WOMYN ARE".

Remember, they're scared villagers defending their home, not a fucking army of men raping and pillaging other countries.

If there are lots of women in the regular army though, then that's bullshit.

>>283729992
lol hi John Green

There's sites all around gaellic world where weapons and other objects were buried. This is assumed to be for religious purposes, but hey if I just look at weapons being buried it could just as well be the adoption of passive resistance and a lay down of arms.

Now when you can collaborate archeological evidence with primary sources that are reliable which makes your hypothesis on the archeological evidence valid then you can say shit.

There is no point for women in offensive armies other then as auxiliary units.

Humanity sciences are complete dominated by progressive retards and are literally a joke.

Women are simply inferior to men in most combat situations and are too important to society (simply because they are usually the limiting resource for breeding) to be used in combat in normal situations in ANY SOCIETY, no matter what your SJW marxist homossexual professor told you.

>>283731135
Well it's not like it's based completely on him since Tolkien borrowed all lores and mixed them but yes Väinämöinen is the biggest influence.
After all elven language was based on finnish too.
Finnish and Estonian mythology lores are distinctly similar more with German's lore compared to other nations.

/v/ officially is as fucking bad as the SJWs when it comes to bitching about inane shit so they can fight their political battles entirely unrelated to videogames.

As someone who is generally very interested in women's roles in history, you should take a lot of stories of female warriors with a grain of salt.

Speaking from a purely physiological perspective, I've tried a few different martial arts and even got a chance to do some ARMA. Even against the few men who were about my size, I struggled a huge amount even just sparring with them, and I usually have no problem and have to slow down for other girls.

However, someone like Ronda Rousey or Cat Zingano back in the Viking days? I could totally see them being capable warriors.

>>283731169
That's precisely it. In defensive wars, it makes sense to use everyone available. But most ancient armies still settled with a mostly or an all male force.

>>283731342
You can't argue that facts are liberal you retard.

Also women are extremely important in defensive combat situations since if they lose the women are forfeit anyways. During the great migration many of these armies are composed of the entire migratory group not just the warriors.

They wont be using them first but saying they would never be used is downright retarded.

I'm pretty sure throwing "viking" in at all is just to get the casual interested.
I'm guessing they're just going for pre-viking era Scandinavians/North Germans. If they make actual fucking 7-800 era vikings that'll be silly.

I get that barbarians did not have the most organized or disciplined militarys and that women may have joined. But a third of all footsoldiers being women is just stupid. Hopefully Atilla gets its own version of Divide Et Imperia to fix some of the more glaring historical flaws.

Because goddamn, that's a weak kind of piss.

It would only make sense in a defensive war of survival. That is when women are pressed into service. The game has bigger problems than that though, the performance is pretty damn bad considering how it looks.

Personally they should've had them in their own seperate unit, to give you the option like in Shogun 2 and Rome 2's Daughter's of Mars DLC.

>>283729902
If you mean weapons buried in female graves or something, that's not really evidence. Speculative at best, like all interpretations of grave goods. Vikings had a strong gender separation between public and domestic spheres, like all European cultures at that period. Raiding and soldiering were men's jobs.

Yeah. As far as I know very few if any fought. Ancient and medieval societies were pretty restrictive for women. I've heard of the rare clan or group here and there where the women would fight with the men (the Scythians maybe?), but those were not the norm.

>>283733295
Because they were the most likely to be around to administrate such things, and they had thralls to help them.

Free men were still lawmakers, laborers and warriors. This was a thousand years ago, modern morals and ways of thinking don't really apply. They weren't "oppressed", nor were they "liberated"; they were simply women, and men were simply men, living according to how they thought things worked best.

All three of those peoples existed by the late 5th century. Jutes were one of the big settling peoples in Britain in that period
Geats were mentioned in the 2nd century, and did some raiding in Frisia in the 500s.

Dunno about the Danes, and I know it isn't a strong historical source, but I'm pretty sure Beowulf is set around the late 5th century and mentions all three of those peoples.

Also don't forget the side effects of a generally promiscuous society, which are really interesting in many ways.

Matrilineal lines of inheritance and all that, since there's no telling for sure 100% who the father was, and the most important biological relationships are mother (obviously) and uncle (closest male who can say he's 100% sure he's blood related to you).

Also we tend to be a bit rosey about it, but a lot of tribal societies were brutal to men -- when we live according to our baser nature we tend to go eugenics mode. if a new leader took over in the tribe, and he didn't like your family, all the men in the family were either killed or exiled to become brigands.
