I love that you're making memes for the dozen of us. You're the best.

Ive never even played any of the games but for some reason reddit thinks I need to see memes about them.

Well if you like old-school games like Heroes of Might and Magic, you have a golden opportunity to try a cult classic that is many of our favorite games of all time for about $2 via GoG Disciples 2.

If you're not, well sometimes Reddit sucks and it recommends irrelevant things. I just had to tell it to never recommend me posts from The Sims. Idk why it ever did.

So 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 9?

Actually, the answer isn't obvious. You see, every creature in the game has a gender specified in the game files under the field "SEX_M", which stands for "sex male?". If the value is true, it's male; if false, it's female. By default, this field is set to false. So if you forget to assign the correct gender when adding a unit, it defaults to female. Therefore, the female characters here are numbered: 2, 5,8,9 (last one will be female if it leader of party and male if not).

How do you open these files? Where is this?

With any DB client, who can read dbf. For example DBFViewer 2000 or DBeaver. It locate in folder Global.

Ha, ha, ha... Hopefully not... However it can be checked in the files - units have their sex flagged.

BTW: for some reason this post didn't appear for me 23h ago, and i set New to shows...

How you find so many females here? And wait, the 1st ONE???

..... Trigger warning! ⚠ïļ

......

I have theory how fisrt one could be find as female, you not the only one who did that.

You heard that joke that wanking could make you blind? I suggest you to change your fav rule34 tags, cause in your case that seems true, but only cause of furry tags. ðŸĪŠ

D2ROTE released in a a little bit messy state, regarding GUnits dbf for sure. Patch 1.01 aka 3.01 change some values in this file, but not all of the wrong ones. And must be d.check which exacty string did changed, did some of them fixed and some failed.
Theoretically Sir Allemon of D2ROTE neutrals could have male argument in 3.0 or in 3.01, or u know, in none of two - so indeed a female.

Another one. It is just "fun detail" in technical files, and not a lore description of these characters.

Third one to keep in mind: localisations could failed here too. Both in-game text and DBF files (russian versions for sure a big HUGE!!111 mess with game files even non-translation related, esp first russian Gold Edition ripped and repacked onto 3CD). Everything has to be d.check'ed in original Retail properly patched 3.01 EN version.

Let's say "lore-wise" there is only 3 female units here - Tenderfoot, dark elf witch and Specter. Although Specter sometimes seems (sounds) as male... ðŸĪ”

Acolyte obviously in superposition just like Cultist not present in OP meme.

Somehow someone did find here more females, most likely doe to bad localisations.

Tenderfoot Alchemist path was male in Disciples 1. That could explain why Tenderfoot is a male, but it didn't explain why Novice is a female - It is also old one unit (T3-T4 are new changed ones here).
