What do you mean "let's not be sexists"? Do you know what "sexism"means? Game developers are sexists because they have chosen representative rulers of civilizations based solely on their sex. They did not choose which emperor e.g. in Austria or Byzantine empire has achieved most, which is best known nor did they base this decision on some other merits. They have chosen Maria Theresa because she was the only female ruler of Austria. And Theodora was a fucking actress (not a princess) who was married by an Emperor Justinian! It is as accurate as making Michelle Obama the representative ruler of USA in Civilization. On the other hand, Ekaterina II has really deserved to be portrayed as a representative leader of Russia in this game, so did the English Queen. But seeing such unfairness and distortion of history in general selection of representative leaders of civs based on their vagina makes me sick.
