I like this game a lot, but I think it's a mistake to jump on some kind of feminist bandwagon and try to put females in every single aspect `equally`. I think many of you mistake the ancient times as `bad` to women. It was not. Things were the way they were for survival. No one was `better` than other. People naturally took on certain roles because that's what worked.
Men did the fighting because it suited them best. Women stayed back at the village cos it worked best. And if the world fell apart it would happen this way again- It's Nature and it works.

Men suffered just as much as women (ie they died a lot fighting, etc)- It was no holiday for them either.

I doubt any of you will see that as you look at things with 21st century coloured fantasy glasses.

Um, what?
This game though set in a fantasy world, is also based closely upon actual Scandinavian early iron age life. Scandinavian women in the pre-christian era had actual rights, and a lot of them could actually kick ass. Because they had to run the homestead while their hubbies were away raiding or trading. But also, the nature of their society was better for women than in, say, Rome at the time.
