View Full Version : Where are all the women on settlers isle?
Have you ever wondered where are all the women hiding?
Suggestion for the game:
New general, brave as Jeanne D´Arc (graphic women soldier)
Commands 220 units
Skills: surprise attack, when attacking she throws arrows as first strike (like you would use roa, but with her, buff is not needed and it will take effect when attacking, not before attack)
travels and fights twice as fast than normal one
Woman explo: fast as lucky, special skill Medic.. might bring medipack from time to time
plz no thats OP (overpowered) lol, "Roa and 220 units all in 1 gen" thats too...
the idea is ok tho but needs something less like its a female MMA orso which is the strongest gen in game already:)
I agree this game could do with some female characters.
We already have a ton of gens, and quite a few types of explorer, but currently only a regular geo and a jolly geo, so why not a special fast female geologist: the mineralogist - x3 as fast and can find various ores eg copper, gold or titanium ore, as treasure when searching for any deposits.
think the idea for a new female geologist is a good one

all marshals could have been female..

he he he
This is an insult to all the females;)
The marshal's belong on the dark side of the moon. I hope you don't believe women belong there too ;)
Nice idea to have female generals, explorers and geologists.

Are you perfectly sure they ain't? Removed
Hi SmurfAsH,

Edit: Good job!
Settlers are like Smurfs: there is only one female among them. Good luck finding her on the map!
ETA: Ok, here is an idea for female general who might not be overdone:
Cannot attack, troop capacity: 100, travel time to and from adventure island: 5 minutes.
Female geologist:
Search times halved, gets +1 level to a random skill which affects whatever she's sent out to find (i.e. not quality gold mine when searching for iron).
Female explorer:
Search times halved, +x% event resources during events. X may depend on the number of manuscripts/books/tomes she is skilled with.
I would love to see a female general, geologist and explorer. Great post.

+1 was one of the first things I noticed when i started playing. Bring on the female gens, geos and explorers! :)

Never noticed, but then I'm a guy and totally oblivious to anything!
Serious note, fully agree. This should be talked about a lot more than it is now. Great thread OP! Will keep bumping this:D
"Where are the women settlers?" was part of the Q&A at gamescom 2014, not much has changed since the reply was reported here: siedler-vision.de/2014/08/die-siedler-online-question-answer-am-16-08-2014-gc-2014/ (http://siedler-vision.de/2014/08/die-siedler-online-question-answer-am-16-08-2014-gc-2014/)
A rough translation from the German via Google Trans:
Where are the women settlers?
"The game was developed mainly by men, who simply did not think something like that. The women in the team strongly campaigned for the gradual introduction of women in the form of Quest NPCs or workers (brewery)."
Players do keep asking and it really is long overdue, especially since new characters keep being added, and keep being male. :rolleyes:

Fairly certain there are a few others, but those popped up quickly.
If you look in the science buildings, there are women working in them

There are, aye. And new male generals, and new male explorers, and new male NPCs, and a new male geologist incoming.
not much has changed

behind every great man, a woman :P
and yet another event, and yet another male specialist.
I am wondering when us women will get to join in?
Is it really so hard to put a woman's face on one of these new specialists you keep bring in?
with the conscientious geo, lord dracul and now this xmas one, that will be 3 more men to join my overflowing star menu in just a few months.
Social Justice warriors seemed to have found TSO..
for the record I don't [mind at all] whether specialists are male, female, midgets, giants, leprechauns or JarJarBinks
no profanity please, even in abbreviation.
I think the devs should make whatever they want and not be pressured by anyone outside, or do you that badly want Token Females?

There is already a "Token female." Apparently the women on the Dev Team fought hard for her, which is really rather sad. Also worth noting, no-one really wants to be stuffed in the category of a "token" anything.

It's been more than a year since this was said at gamescom 2014:

"The game was developed mainly by men, who simply did not think something like that. The women in the team strongly campaigned for the gradual introduction of women in the form of Quest NPCs or workers (brewery)."

And "gradual", a questionable notion to begin with, has long gone by. The idea has been planted now, and for a long time so it's no longer a case of the entirely embarrassing 'We're men, we just forgot about 'em.' but a specific choice with every new character introduction. For 2015, in a game like TSO and one played by all ages and all genders etc, it's a poor choice with a simple fix. Time to get on fixing it.
we def do NEEED female settlers in form of gen geo and scouts -could even have a event narrator as a female , just my 4 toughts

Seems like this is a case of the game mirroring real life So I wouldn't hold your breath. :(
+1 to some female characters
I'd love a female explorer and general with special abilities. Surely it's an opportunity to be creative. It's crazy that the star menu is just full of male specialists.

Rofl...with so many players asking for woman generals and the developers keeping ignoring them I think we can actually call them misogynist and sexiest.
I totally agree we need more female characters in this game! Let's remember that even USA had their female generals (google it if you don't believe it, can't post external links lol) so why not in a game?
welcome to the new millenium dear developers! wake up, 3 years passed since the players started asking for it ;)
Considering Christmas is near why not adding her to the Christmas event prize :D
And be sure to make a strong general who could rival with an MMA (and not another female version of the Grim or Dracul please ;) a modern Jeanne d'Arc! but maybe dressed up as Mrs. Santa Klaus lol (<-- that's not sexiest at all!! ok maybe a bit lol :)

Well, it is a man's world..
Well, it is a man's world..
Ever man with any real world experience knows that the women actually run everything and just are good at letting the men think they actually have any choice.

It's true actually. Men have become very weak, letting women rule and run everything. Well, they don't run and rule me, that's for sure. The sad part about it all is that things won't change for the better any time soon. Ignorance is bliss they say. Wish I was it. Whaha :)
The Intrepid Explorer
As seen in [Sneak Peek] Easter Event 2016 (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/32372-Sneak-Peek-Easter-Event-2016)
Performs 2 adventure searches in one. She can return from an adventure search with 2 adventures (or 1 adventure + map fragments, or 2 x map fragments). She also travels twice as fast as regular explorers.

More context needed to make a value judgement on that.

She's female till you give her a book and she learns a skill, then her pronouns change.
Perils of educating women? :rolleyes:
