[quote=@Zugzwang] Go /k/ or go home, strelok. If you want help or advice, I'm here for you. If not, I'll keep my disgusting interests in booletz out of the game. [/quote] You misunderstand; I feast on knowledge. I love the opportunity to do research, I'm just noting that I didn't expect that line of it going into this. [quote=@The Survivor] A question for [@Vahir], are women allowed as military officers in this setting? I'm thinking of doing a retired military matriarch as my main character so that's why I'm asking. [/quote] Well, it varies. The Livonian Federation and the Xiang Republic both are pretty have pretty much equal sexes in the army (the former for ideological reasons, the latter because of sheer desperation). The Kubra Shah's army, meanwhile, has a strict ban on women serving in it, in any aspect. But I suspect you're asking more for the Imperial side of things. Well, there again, it varies. Citizen women aren't allowed anywhere near the army, while noble women are grudgingly allowed non-combat roles, such as logistics, medicine, and so on. But the royalty- members of the royal family, closely related or not- are allowed to do pretty much whatever they want, man or woman. Of course, royal women still wouldn't fight on the front lines, but that's more because of status than anything; they generally act as commanders and generals.
