Things Wrong WIth the Lakota

True, then perhaps introducing names more judiciously related to the Lakota culture would be wiser?

Like, using one of the Oceti Sakowin tribes’ name for a specific unit such as the Oglagla or the Hunkpapa

The attentions to use Lakota words like Wakina and Cetan are a fair but apparently unperfect attempt, according to me

I mainly had in mind the splendid Dog Soldier indeed: it’s an obvious Cheyenne unit among the Lakota, although I wish it does not disappear. Maybe acknowledging a full Cheyenne ally aspect embedded into the Lakota civ could justify more logically its upholding?

For the Rifle Rider, it has definitively its place in the roster too. Perhaps then the solution would lie not in its renaming, but in the buffing cavalry/hunting cards’ or the Allies cards’ names. After all, it is the unique unit (Ranged cav good v. Heavy Inf) of its type too, so very recognizable

These ideas had been discussed in the past:
