dogscoff, greek and roman mythology is full of strapping warrior/tough women

hecate
diana
athena
atalanta
clytemenestra
kylie
that bird who led the amazons

thorw in a bit of norse mythology and you have more strapping 'jolly hockey sticks' types than you could mudwrestle

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.

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.

GrowlTigga, what about a list of Englands Queens and female Prime Ministeres? Oh, and then there was Goulda Mier.

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)
