Re: Warsim, text based randomly generated stratogy
a lot of the exposed aski stuff that Defender mentioned is not happening for me,
Defender, do you use NVDA? I use Jaws and don't have the same problems.
Also, I don't think we need to have Rosie the Riveter type things for women in this game and I think that would sort of defeat the purpose of having women now. If you give special roles to women, you are putting them in boxes that sort of creates an atmosphere of sexism even if what they do is largely helpful and even if you have them doing things like manufacturing, building, or farming.
What I propose instead is simply that you have gender randomly assigned to certain encounters in the throne room, we introduce some situations where the person offering to join the army is definitely female, and both champions and other staff for your kingdom can be women. We also might want to add a plethora of female names to groups so that even races that are not exclusively female have the option to have female leaders and champions.
Right now, with things like harpies and witches, we have a problem with the basic language surrounding independent races. For example I had a nomadic witch called "Gretchen the Cremator" and it was clear with names like "Witch Queen" (likewise "Harpy queen) that the primary gender of these well-established races is female. However, every reference to these races is masculine as it is the default. This is rather odd and while I know why it happens and such, it does create some weirdness. For the female races, having something in there that always says "she" might be helpful and for races of multiple genders, we need both male and female names for these groups and we need to have leaders possibly coming from either gender with the appropriate pronouns. I know this is hard so I am willing to wait.
Oddly this problem created a funny situation when I encountered "False Harpies" the text for false is "They aren't what they seem." which because of my idiocy brought up some drag queen jokes in my head because of the Harpy Queen being the highest unit and yet all pronouns were masculine.
