Hmm, my name's been mentioned a bit too much here.

As for female characters, obviously everyone knows of Helen (the reason the war was started), she'll probably get epic Diao Chan DW6 treatment. There's also Briseis, a Trojan woman who was captured by Achilles' men who he then fell in love with. In the film she's portrayed as Hector and Paris' cousin to give her more significance, she may get the same treatment in the games.

Of course, none of these women fought in the war but the same can be said for the vast majority of the playable girls in the DW and SW series. I very much doubt KoeiC will make this game a sausage-fest.

From what I remember reading the interviews from the developers they're adding in the gods and other characters from other greek tales to spice things up a bit. I'm not sure whether that will be as playable characters who are involved with the story or just bonus characters who act as CAWs (which may be a better way to include them imo) but there'll definitely be some more girls in the game.
