Not quite that -- it's just not possible in the storyline. For women to command armies or serve as palace attendants and guards is not at all unheard of, and glaive-guisarme training has the cultural role among well-to-do Honseli even in this setting as naginata training in modern Japan, but the story that I hope I'm going to write one of these days

is about Arcos ara-Chanurin, who's male. So you're stuck.

I thought about this a good bit myself, but I think giving the player the possibility of a female character -- which would probably require completely different parallel storylines -- would just be too much effort, and wouldn't work out very well. But if I
can do it at some point in development -- if it looks practical without too much extra work -- I just might...
And Goodknight, I'm delighted that you (and a lot of other people

) think so highly of the mod in this early state -- I really need to get cracking on the weaponry and siege-system revisions, not to mention further-reaching stuff...
