Female Generals !!???

[CosmicContrarian]

This could very easily be Boudicca, I'd like to have female generals in Rome 2.

The more variety within the games content the better the game will be.

It's definitely not Iceni (British). It's probably Epirote (of Epirus, adjective).

And there is an army in front of the agent (it can be seen it's in a no-moves-left kneeling posture).

The ancient world was a cold and harsh place with lacking the political correctness of today's era.

Heck its 2013 and we just got female soldiers in combat roles in the US Army. Let alone anywhere else on earth.

Basically there may have been exceptions, like the female general from Britain and there was one from India. But these are exceptions.

War is also exclusively waged by men!

Might as well be called MEN TOTAL WAR.

No freaking women generals or amazons, a random unit here and there is ok. But seriously dont muck it up by adding fantasy women generals.

She is a family member with an army. Not a general but a family member.

Notice in the Egypt screenshot that Caesar has a circle and hand over his banner. In the Asia Minor screenshot the female also has a circle over her banner. Notice that no other armies have circles over their banners.

I am curious as to how Cleopatra will be represented.

We will have to wait. This new "Family Member" system going on has not been very well explained.

She looks like she could very well be Boudicca, but if it is confirmed there isn't female generals, I guess it is something else. The banner could be just work in progress thing, or something else...

Was there a lot of significant females that actually leaded an army to battle at Rome 2 time period?

Also talking about female-leaders, the presentation of Cleopatra looks great in the video.

Why people are saying that she is boudicca when the screenshot was taken on bloody Capadocia?
So boudicca became a pilgrim and is travelling around the world delivering freedom from rome?

[RexImperator]

She's Galatian.

This is clearly a Sasquatch to me...

kid looks like hes about to fall over

Actually there should be at least 50% female generals, girls want to play this game too!

What prevents them from playing it now, the fear of big, ugly men clad in armor?

She appears to be carrying a spear. What kind of agent would carry a spear?

This. And patriarchy. Also role models forced upon them by men.

[JJDXB]

She's not a general. It looks like the banner is a garrisoned army, probably in a resource area.

EDIT: Didn't they get rid of all the map resources and put them in the city?

Maybe its a camp.

[Mary The Quene]

She's a galatian i think

[Aymer de Valence]

I must say, that campaign map looks absolutely exquisite.

[Stavroforos]

She's definitely an agent, though with barbarians it's hard to tell their family members apart from anyone else.

If you guys can see properly, The 'woman's' both hands are visible, and in one of the hand, (The right hand, to be precise) she is holding some sort of a scepter, rather than a banner. Banners are held by generals/captains representing an army. So, we can say, she is an agent, stationed at the same place as the army, not even merged with the army, but at the same niche.

[SirFork]

Does she have blue tattoos one her arms?
