Numerous hostile actions have followed the original brouhaha, including a review bomb of the game on Steam and multiple YouTube videos attacking the developers. historical accuracy (and the inclusion of women) originates,” she wrote. “I’m not HR, nor is it my job to push a ‘personal agenda’ - I convey the views of the company, which is where the statement regarding historical authenticity vs. Ella responded to the outcry on Steam in a follow-up post, as reported by Kotaku. Her comment, which also included a note about unacceptable language such as “words like ‘cuck,’ ‘SJW,’ and ‘feminazi,’” led to people demanding Creative Assembly fire her. “People saying they won’t buy the game because there are too many women in it is fine with us - if that’s their reason, we’d rather they didn’t anyway.” “Firstly, I’ll say it again: Total War games are historically authentic, not historically accurate - if having female units upsets you that much you can either mod them out or just not play,” Ella wrote. Her response to player outcry quickly became the breeding ground for more dissension and bad actors spreading misinformation, which Creative Assembly has now cleared up. The developer’s response echoes what Ella, the aforementioned community manager for Creative Assembly, explained in August. “This is to broadly represent the cultural differences in those factions during the time the game is set.” “The exceptions are the Greek States, Rome, Carthage and some Eastern factions, which have a 0 per cent chance, and Kush which has a 50 per cent chance,” the statement reads. Not to leave any room for argument over “historical accuracy,” a term that has led GamerGate supporters and neo-Nazi publications like The Daily Stormer to pick up on the story in an attempt to turn it into a larger issue, Creative Assembly also explicitly addressed those complaints. “We’ve not seen a verifiable bug where this is shown to be different or not working as intended.”
These percentage chances are moddable by players. The statement also confirms that “female characters appear throughout the game, but have between a 10 to 15 per cent chance of appearing as recruitable generals for some of the playable factions. “But with the addition of the family tree feature and the new gameplay features it brings, playable factions may gain more female family members via marriage.”
“There have been no changes to recruitable female general spawn rates,” Creative Assembly said. Yo /DVPp6BULoa- Total War September 25, 2018
