Hello Guys. I was looking at the 1866 Guide when I saw something that pissed me of. I want to know WHY there is a Bandit troop called "Gaucho"... Since I'm a Gaucho I'm very very very pissed of with this. The term Gaucho is to designate someone that is resident of the South American pampas, Chacos, Patagonian grasslands OR from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul (my case). They were and are LAWFUL people and excellent riders. " Like the North American cowboys, gauchos are generally reputed to be strong, HONEST, silent types, but proud and capable of violence when provoked." In my experience, gauchos are really skillful with the horse and usually carry simply pistols with a bag of ammo, for self protection, and a large knife with many uses such as cutting the meat, since his diet was composed almost entirely by beef, and for self protection too. They really are quiet people who avoid fight while they can, but if they are provoked, fight is inevitable because they are EXTREMELY proud. Their honor, horse and family is everything for them.
What are really pissing me of is the fact that they are BANDITS and, the worse, A low-grade troop! They should be the bests of the bests! (this last part is only a nationalism so don't worry). It's interesting to remember that the world most beautiful woman is Gaucha, one of the best specialist of special effects is Gaucho (the one who made "2012" and "The Day After Tomorrow"), the world most genius Java programmer is from here AND one of the best cardiologist doctor is from here too beyond some other thing I don't remember or don't know.
I hope you guys fix this soon or at least make it stink less for my nose...
They match perfectly to be ranch owner in the game (almost the entire popolation were rural people and the richer were "estancias"(ranch) owners) or lurking troops (they were generally nomadic) but not BANDITS!
