The Women of Genghis Khan 2+ (updates in post)

Photobucket

As mentioned previously, I assumed censorship of the women was around 60 women in all. Now I think they cut MORE! The main reason behind that is that I've found two caches so far of women in the hex. One for scenario 2 1206 and the other for scenario 4 1189. Each has 30 slots for women! Based on that we could have just as many for scenario 3 1271 and maybe 15 for scenario 1.

Racking up 105 women loaded in the game! That number is really nothing compaired to the men of the game. (561 men?) I'm not talking about random generated women I am talking about women with a preset location in game, historical bases, and maybe a unique portrait!

Genghis Khan 2 Clan of the gray wolf had 20 women( some are little girls!). We are all familar with them but how about I honor them with a blog post dedicated to some of them. I'll have sit down with the psx version and translate the Koei bios another time.

Borte Ujin, ????-???? Advisor, lover, wife, and chief of Orudo #1 Genghis Khan/Temujin
For many years in G Khan's history Borte was the love of his life. The 2008 film Mogol protrays her well. She gave birth to nine children. It possible that only seven of them are actually his. Jagatai is the first son.

Saphina, wife of Saladin
I can not find information on her online. I'll have to sit down with the psx version/GK4 and learn about Koei's rendition of Saladin's "wife". He had 17 kids and four wives.

Maria -Despina- Palaiologina, daughter of Michael VIII & wife of Abaga
Despina Khatun was a political figure and a chess piece in Persian politics.

Cylene, wife of Ghuri (2)
Ghuri was unable to have children and thus the Slave Dynasty was born in his stead.

Isabella, wife of John Lackland
Allan, wife of Togorhul Khan
Nidon, wife of Jamuga
Mualan, wife of Tayan Khan(Baibuka Tayan)
Cabui, wife of Kublai Khan
Beatrix, wife of Frederick (1)
Hachijo, wife of Minomoto no Sanetomo
Hojo Masako, wife of Minomoto no Yorimoto
Horiuchi, wife of Hojo Tokimune
Shara, wife of Baybars
Tarrube, wife of Ala-al-din
Theodora, wife of Michael VIII
Margeret of Burgundy, wife of Charles I

Thats all twenty women in game. I'm going to have a hell of a time with the 85 other women in game ;) I've already got three of them the easiest ones of course! See the first screen shot.

I found the scenario 1 wife data.Its 15. So there are 105 historical female figures within the game as predicted ;)

Sartaq Khan said...

actually 105 slots for women

30 per scenario sans scenario one which has 15

Using data within the PSX version there are exactly 89 female historical figures within the game. So that HAS to be the case with super aoki unfortunately. But seeing how you can get Borte & co in 1206 & 1189 as long as you take 1: Mongolia that would drop the number of uniques down by four. Also I'm sure alot of the wives from 1189 return for 1206. So common logic says to me GK2=20 and Super Aoki=89
