Female Soldiers

In the PC gamer article... there is a sample image of the characters... it is mostly egalitarian which is awesome. Please don't leave out female soldiers if that was the plan!

Otherwise this game looks really cool, I am very excited.

 

+1, at least allow the player to train female soldiers if they want, if the fatherland doesn't want to that's their problem.

Just make female soldiers not to carry their babies into the training room and / or combat.

 

Is that an iron ball in her hand or a bomb?

 

I had just assumed that the female soldiers were flat chested and had beards. What would be wrong with that?

 

...it's not *that* much like Dwarf Fortress.

 

...That sounds more like Terry Pratchett.

 

I want that jacket. Pronto.

 

That's not mutually exclusive...

 

Maybe she could grow a moustache when her alien form takes over to balance things a bit

 

Bomb. You can see a little spot at the top where a fuse would be.

 

Either that or it's due to David's style.

 

That. Which is why I asked.

 

It's her thumb

 

Freddie Mercury should be the male version of the Queen.

 

Ah.
Yes it is.

Well, back to the drawing board!
IRON BALL v. BOMB, DON'T MISS THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY


Edit: Oh yeah also that concept art looks pretty nice. The guys at the upper right remind me of the clockwork robots that were in Dr. Who once.

 

Yeah, I feel that female soldiers should, at the very least, be optional. Allows the players a way (like a civic or law) to enable them or just make them available from the get go (but should probably be rare).

Frankly, I feel pretty much anyone could be able to do anything in your city/civ/whatever.

 

Dwarf Fortress has bearded females turned off in its default settings.

 

Seems to me Gaslamp want a somewhat egalitarian society to be the base for this game, hence the equal representation. I think - based on their attitude both in and out of games - that making things optional for each gender would go against what they're trying to do.
