two questions - Women Platoons and Books

[kris]

I searched the forums before posting, but I read somewhere that if you drop a female villager on your platoon then she becomes a warrior. I tried this and could only seem to make her a breeder. If I dropped her on the platoon tent as the men flocked to join, she would just drop inside it and walk out unarmored. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, I noticed a bunch of books in my tribute menu, books about ancient creatures and stuff like this - what are they for? I bought one once but have no idea what it did... it's not like I can read it or anything...? Help!?

I heard something about that, but I think it was in a developers' diary (or whatever) and never made it to the game.

Or maybe I'm crazy? o_o

WRONG, you can get women into a platoon if you cant do it start placing women around the tent if that doesnt work then try inside

Lol guys...


The way to do it is to multi-pickup a bunch of villagers and then to hold them over a depleted platoon (can't be full strength). If the first person is a woman, you'll see breeder appear, toss her away (gently if your a good god) until you see soldier appear when you hold them over the platoon. Then hold down the action button dropping all of the villagers into the platoon. Any women dropped will become soldiers. 

Do a search for the books, tonnes their called I think. I've asked  that question  but forget what the answer was.  :rolleyes[br][br]Added: Jan 06, 2007, 06:17 PMOpps it's tomes found the thread.
