It's been pretty much confirmed.Judging from the evidence I think it might be tamar of Georgia, has anyone else suggested this yet?
Did we just meme her into the game? Crazy right?
I believe the biggest thing here was not the meme itself, but our reaction, as most of us (including me) were very positive with the idea.
The three-gender system goes back to Proto-Indo-European. German and Russian both still have a neuter gender, and some Italian languages have vestigial neuter gender. Indo-European studies would suggest that gender systems tend to simplify or disappear over time, but then they've been quite stable in Semitic and arose relatively recently in Northern Iroquoian. What really throws a hitch in the theory of grammatical gender and sexism, though, is languages like Swahili, which has seven genders, none of which are masculine or feminine, or languages like Nahuatl or Cree which distinguish animacy rather than gender (but is still technically grammatical gender, and is about as arbitrary).
What would be the gifts from Georgia (the country)'s trade delegation?
You forgot to mention that it was during her reign that Georgian litterature reached its peak with Chota Rustaveli's epic "The knight in the panther's skin"If it's Tamar, I like it more than I thought I would. New civs is always a good thing.
The only negative for me is it makes Armenia rather unlikely.
Reading a bit about Tamar, how will she be portrayed? She was a bit warmonger-y but also presided over the apex of Georgian society and is literally a saint. (could this be the female leader with bonii related to Golden Age?)
Khachapuri!!!

They could really go anywhere with her, huh? I'm thinking a Cultural / Religious focus with bonuses to defending her territory from invaders, a special fort-like UI sounds like a good idea other people are pushing.
Even that sounds fairly close to Poland, honestly. Maybe their UI grants extra culture or gold?
