    A Better Name for the Rider

    There's been a thread going about what the name of the Chinese UU should be, and Dimirier Maximus suggested that I put up a poll... alright, here it is.

    Since there's only one month left before Civ3 is released and there's probably no time to change the graphics and stats, i'll give only cavalry options so that the graphics and stats can stay the same. I'd have preferred the Chu Ko Nu from Age of Kings actually.

    Iron Cavalry or Iron Knight
    9.26%
    5
    Tieqi (that's Chinese for Iron Cavalry)
    74.07%
    40
    stay as Rider
    5.56%
    3
    other stuff (please suggest)
    11.11%
    6

    I like Tieqi. A native Chinese word will give the unit a more distinctly Chinese flavor.

      Good poll. I voted Tieqi, but "Tieqi Rider" would be better.

      How come Firaxis never commented on this? Surely it would be easy enough to change the name, since nobody seems to like "Rider" anyway.

        Is there anyone from Firaxis who's seeing this? So far there hasn't been a single vote for Rider. There're more votes for 'Other' than Rider.

        Oh yes, if you want to vote for 'Other', can you please post something to say what you'd prefer?

        I just did some quick checking and noticed that the historical Tieqi/Iron Cavalry had armor on the horses as well... Firaxis should add that in, it's just a graphics change.

              Iron Cavalry sounds better than rider at least.

                Hellooooooo... Firaxis...?

                The weakness of the name "Rider" is probably the subject that most people agree on. I can't believe Firaxis is ignoring this.

                  I hope they change it to Tieqi or at least something better than rider.

                    Tieqi, it seems funnier.

                      The results are pretty conclusive. i probably should send an email to firaxis. who should i send this to?

                        Send it to one of the Administrators of Apolyton and ask them to please pass it on to Firaxis.

                          Yea, a unique unit called " the rider", sounds very unique, doesn't it?

                            I voted Tieqi as well. The Chinese UU deserves a Chinese name for it, and Tieqi is the best one ive heard

                            Rider

                              isn't it more direct to email to someone from firaxis?
