It's more important to me for this to be a good game than for it to represent all major Asian regional variants equally. The short-range pieces in Shogi work well in that game due to the ability to drop pieces. To introduce short-range Shogi pieces into a game without piece drops will not give the game any of the qualities that make Shogi a good game, and it would be a pointless exercise in political correctness. If you want to make your own Politically Correct Pan-Eurasian Chess, go ahead and call it that, but stop complaining about the name of this game. I am not going to change the name, and I am not going to change the rules to reflect your vision of what a game with this name should be like.
