Spartan Heroine?

[Sun Jetzu]

Just saw this picture on Rome 2's Facebook page.
Awesome that OUR game has won so many nominations.
But I would like to know who is this chick?
Its the first ive seen of her and I gotta say I'm blindsighted. Does this answer the question if there will be woman warriors in the game?
A Spartan woman warrior perhaps? Or could she be a general character? Either way I hope she (and more woman) are in the game.

This has been brought up a couple times in a couple threads, but it seems to be Teuta of Illyria. Basically she was an Illyrian pirate Queen.

Indeed you are right and it also makes sense to see the anachronistic 6th century "Illyrian" helmet Greeks have stopped using for almost 200 years before the game's timeline

Definitely Sparta. The actual Sparta. As in the woman surely.

During ancient times, Spartan women give birth to great Spartan warriors, only Spartan men will march to the glorious battlefield.

I'm sorry I didnt see any threads on it, I literally just saw the pic. I have it as my wallpaper now. I gotta say she's pretty hot.
Anyway has it been 100% confirmed that thats who she is?

[daelin4]

Lusted himself has posted that she is supposed to be Teuta.

Interestingly the original pic I saw has the image flipped.

How does that even make sense? They aren't playable or visibly planned to be at this point.

I agree, even them showing us this pic is a big deal. So it means she and other woman will be in this game.

Well remember that intro vid for Shogun2 where they had this cool duelling scene?

Well none of that can be found in that game.

Now what do you think is going to happen with this pic?

Answer: Marketing and hype.

Wait just a minute! Are you saying that they're lying to us about content in the game?

Who could have guessed.

Illyrian day 2 dlc

Also, Sparta has no port.

are these facts?

[jtfjtfjtf]

are these facts?

The first is one of those DLC everything jokes, though I am hoping it's a hint of an Illyrian dlc soon.

The second was mentioned in the CA Sparta thread.

[Kraut]

The Sparta part is fact at least. The city of Sparta was landlocked, several miles away from the coastline.
Actually, it still is, afaik ;D

But you know who does have a port....mmmmm Athens yum yum yum

[Keyser]

She may be supposed to be Teuta, but for me it's obvious they surf on the 300 prequel imagery and the Artemisia of the movie...



Teuta ? Really ?
