Good, I'll add these.

clytemenestra
This one sounds like a yeast infection, but I'll add her as well.

You're kidding, right? Kylie? I should be so lucky...

Good plan... I'll put in a google search for amazon, ignore the thousands of bookshop references, and see if I get any leads from there.
Keep 'em coming ppl.

Re: Warrior Women - Name hunt
Excellent! Just found a Xena: Warrior Princess site with a listing of over 80 amazons from greek mythology. That wil do nicely. I've compiled it into a txt file and I could just use that for my new race. You can keep posting here though, perhaps we'll have enough for a second names list.

Re: Warrior Women - Name hunt
GrowlTigga, what about a list of Englands Queens and female Prime Ministeres? Oh, and then there was Goulda Mier.

Re: Warrior Women - Name hunt
PtF, yeah, it's for the valkyries. I'm hoping to put the graphics together for them tonight for inclusion in the proportion game, and then maybe upload a full shipset (using a modified viking AI) to my website over the weekend.
I've already done the speech file- great fun: "Is that the biggest weapon you have? I've seen bigger."
Thanks for the Nordic name site - where did you find _that_? I'll look at that more carefully tonight, and maybe knock out another name list.
Now I've started though, (and now I've opened a thread on the subject) I'd still like a list of female warriors. (excluding amazons, who now have their own list).
So come on, think of your favourite films / books and give me the name of the any female gun/ sword waving heroine types.
Here's some starters:
Joan of Arc
Bodicea
Sarah Connor (terminator + sequel)
Ellen Ripley (Alien + sequels)
Vasquez (Aliens - actually, I could do a whole Aliens list, couldn't I?)
Xena
Buffy
That woman from "Conan the Barbarian" (anyone know the name?)
Tasha Yarr (St:TNG)
The girl from Akira
Lursa (Klingon woman from ST) (Spelling?)
Bettor (ditto)
