      In case some peeps are blind that includes me, when selecting in area filled with soldier and civilians, there is a button to select civilians only and then there is soldiers only, may it help you a bit.

      Reminds me of how a minority of people went absolutely ballistic when I updated the game's default cursor. The entitlement is incredibly unreal.

      @ittihat_ve_terakki  I can truly understand that people consider the lack of appropriate audio feedback to be a problem. From a gameplay perspective, it’s reasonable to see that as an issue, and something should be done about it. But... This is merely your assumption. I’ve already seen many people adopt the term “Civilian” without any issue. Historically, agriculture was a task carried out by the whole of civil society—within families or communities. I think this change aims to represent that.    And what you’re saying here is nonsense. You’re taking the historical accuracy argument to an extreme. It doesn’t even make sense to debate it. If you want to keep playing without your comfort being challenged, the favor has already been done for you — enjoy. Honestly, what exactly is the problem? I’m genuinely struck by the reaction of some people, who I’m really seems to be motivated far more by ideological concerns than anything else. I’ve read comments in the lobby claiming this is part of a “woke agenda” (absurd argument) and that we should add r4pes to the game to be historically accurate.... Seriously, is having male models working on farms as civilians really that upsetting? It’s kind of funny.

      Wildfire Games sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience R28 may have caused to your life.

      You can tell this isn’t a positive improvement from the fact that everyone will continue to call this new farmer unit “women.” This change adds absolutely nothing to the game in terms of gameplay. The justifications being offered are “historical accuracy” and “realism.” If that’s the case, then we should also add mechanics like sleep, rest, parents having children, a full day–night cycle and redesign the entire game from scratch. We should also reconsider how a “hero” can survive after being hit by 50 arrows. I’d also like to address the following points: Male soldiers were already able to farm. They were simply less efficient at it. (Likewise, women could work in mines and gather stone and metal, just less efficiently.) So the farmer role already included men, making men farmers is not a new update. The only real effect of this change is that it effectively removes “women” from the game. If we’re talking about historical accuracy and realism, let’s look at population numbers. Imagine we have a village with 300 population. If 250 are soldiers and 50 are “farmers,” and even if only half of those farmers are women, does that mean there are only 25 women in a population of 300? When farmers were exclusively women, at least the number of women was higher. Where are the women who are supposed to make up half of the population?
