In short, they get married.
Looks like a housewife isnt allowed to gouvern a province and a household.

what do you mean? There was sexism thousands of years ago? No! I refuse to believe it.
This is another thing they need to fix, now that you mention it. I'm to the point that I refuse to appoint women governors, simply because I know they will disappear a few days later.
I've noticed that most older women governors will stay appointed. Perhaps because their husbands are dead?
Name one women governor from that period. The marriage thing may be annoying but the ability to appoint female governors at all is extremely unrealistic in itself.
Instances of female rulers can be found alright but female governors is just not right.

Well, "realistic" or not, i think there should be an option for it.
In Doomsday, it is possible for nazi Germany to create ("liberate") Israel.
So, make female governors/generals a selectable option so that everyone can be happy...
(I once had a princess with 12 martial skill. Unrealistic or not, it would be fun to have her lead an army...)

Wait till she is old, barren and unwanted by the male populous. You should be able to get a couple of wars out of her.

I can't do that. Female characters cannot be appointed as generals, married or not.
um, like u can name at least one female scholar from that period? heck, i doubt u can even name a 19 century one without using google but u have no problem whatsoever appointing them to research duties.
actually i dont care that much if i am able to do appoint them to governors, what bothers me is the need to repeat my actions few days later. either remove the option to asssign them as governors, or change it so that her hubby becomes the governor after the marriage

AFAIK the Nazis decided to kill the jews in the 40s. Before that other options like conquering Israel and Madagascar and deporting them there were discussed.
What I find interesting is that when her husband dies, the woman will get married in a week if she is of childbearing age. Does these women have no shame?
Is their new husband assassinating the old one? Or is she poisoning the old guy so she can take up with her new flame? If so, then the couple should be getting caught occasionally with the appropriate hit to popularity. Or someone in the deceased husband's family should become a rival to the new couple, if not demanding a duel.

Hypatia of Alexandria. (And yes, I already knew her name before I looked up her details). She was a mathematician and astronomer who also invented or improved various scientific instruments such as the astrolabe and hydrometer.vasil said:um, like u can name at least one female scholar from that period? heck, i doubt u can even name a 19 century one without using google
Also, Wikipedia's page on "Ancient Greek women philosophers" has 18 pages linked to it, from Aedesia to Themista. Aglaonike, for example, was an astronomer in the Second Century BCE who tracked and predicted lunar eclipses. Agnodice was a doctor, at first disguising herself as a man until she was able to persuade the Athenian Assembly to pass a new law allowing women to train and practice as doctors openly.
And this is what Plutarch has to say about Aspasia, mistress and chief advisor of Pericles: " What great art or power this woman had, that she managed as she pleased the foremost men of the state, and afforded the philosophers occasion to discuss her in exalted terms and at great length."
Aye, but in no game it is possible to have a woman leading an army. Why? Well, simply because there is a difference between absurd and plain unrealistic.DesertSnow said:

As for as I can tell (cursory glance through wikipedia), that character has no basis in history.
Tis wiki... but it offers some good minutes distraction... some of those Queens and Princesses must have had fair martial stats... I mean come on... Tomyris beat Cyrus the Great!

There is however quite a difference between leading an army and following as a token and morale-booster.JZ_UK said:
Morale-booster :rofl: What a wonderful word for that. There cant be many succesful women through history compared to men. Then there is no need for them in Rome either.Snugglie said:
