Female/Male thrall spawn rate both should be 50% for each Gender.
I spawn in thralls wanting a proud female warrior thralls, because my them of role playing was a proud female tribe. I was only able to spawn 2-5 females out of 20-30 thralls spawn. The males had to die by gas orbs. Yes the brutal death of dying male thralls as they choke by gas orbs was disturbing. My Amazon sisters knew it had to be done.
So funcom think of the many dead male thralls you could save. By making females and males have a 50% spawn rate.
According to Lemurian Lorestone #9, “But the Giant-kings became alarmed, I suspect, at the rate at which we gave birth.” It is hard for just a few women to give birth at a rate that would cause alarm, considering that the initial population was very large. Through the Shattered-Bridge Lorestone, the Giant-Kings can be heard saying, “In return, we fed and clothed you. But you came in untold numbers.”
Therefore, the lore supports a higher population of women than currently exist.
Those events described in the lorestones refer to the time when Atlantis and company sank, which was thousands of years ago. The present-day descendants of Lemurians seem to have diminished greatly from the days of the great war.
Exiles are not Lemurians. They’re people sent to the Exiled Lands by Thoth-Amon. The ratio of men to women is basically up to his whims, although considering his goals, resourceful fighters and adventurers were probably preferable - and in the Hyborian Age, most of those were men, although notable female warriors such as Valeria did exist.
Well, that’s two of my posts you have quashed in as many hours. There are still Lemurians in the Exiled Lands, and they too are mostly men. Regardless, as soon as reproduction starts the balance is re-established (with a slightly higher probability in the favor of females). How long has it been? Thousands of years you say?
Lastly, I would challenge you to prove that most of the resourceful fighters and adventurers of the Hyborian age were men (in the arena, perhaps? ), and I would also think it was apparent that not all exiles are fighters or adventurers.
Robert E. Howard created the Hyborian Age in the 1930s. Considering the culture back then it’s a small wonder that there are any female action heroes in the books at all - and Howard actually has a remarkable number of them among his settings (such as Valeria in the Conan stories, and Dark Agnes de Chastillon and Red Sonya of Rogatino in his historical Renaissance fiction).
We 21st century people will have a hard time even imagining a world of fiction without strong female protagonists, but in Howard’s era there was no Lara Croft, no Modesty Blaise, no Estelle Bright, no Susan Ivanova and no Sarah Connor to show the way. Soldiers, mercenaries, adventurers, explorers, Western sheriffs, Crusader knights, detectives and barbarian warriors in fiction were 99 % men.
But I’m kinda happy to see that Funcom has chosen a 21st century approach to gender representation, or at least late 20th (considering how there are two genders instead of more than two), rather than early 20th century. There’s only so much sausage a man can enjoy in good conscience. I think the current rate of male to female is fine.
), and I would also think it was apparent that not all exiles are fighters or adventurers.
