    My bad. The wording in the manual is spelled differently than in the game. It actually should be (traditional Chinese: 諸葛弩; pinyin: zhūgě nǔ; Wade–Giles: chu-ke nu) Both versions of the game's spelling are not that close the right pronunciation. "Zhū" in pinyin is actually closer to "jew" in English spelling. The second syllable starts with a sound that is between "g" and "k", but it ends in a schwa sound and not an "o" sound. The third syllable sounds like "new." So I guess Chuck Norris is as accurate a name as any, but I hate that guy so I'm not going to use it.

    LOL!!! Perfect. It's my favorite unit, too. Though after playing the Mongol Scenario I fell in love with the Keshik, especially after upgrades get them two shots/turn and extra range. It's like Chuck's with greater movement.

    Well the more chinese version would be the Zhuge Nu, named after the guy credited with making it, Zhuge Liang.

    I've been really impressed the the Spanish Conquistadors. They have no penalty to attacking cities, and they have further sight. Really good.

    they can also start cities like settlers. only on foreign continents, though.

    By far my favourite UU is the Boeing Y1B-17 (that's the variant they apparently modelled from). A powerful air force is essential to victory in the modern era, and this unit is serviceable when aluminium is scarce.
