    A Ruyter is a Dutch light cavalry unit in the Age of Empires III game.
    You may be able to prolong your life, but it's not like you can escape your inevitable death, is it?

    Ruyter(old Dutch) or Ruiter(modern Dutch) is Dutch for "horseman" so it only says somebody at a horse. Carabineer is from the Dutch word Karabijn what is some kind of pistol so a Carabineer is a Horseman WITH a pistol.
