Niketas Choniates, a Byzantine historian, describes fighting style of the Cumans; "They [The Cumans] fought in their habitual manner, learnt from their fathers. They would attack, shoot their arrows and begin to fight with spears. Before long they would turn their attack into flight and induce their enemy to pursue them. Then they would show their faces instead of their backs, like birds cutting through the air, and would fight face to face with their assailants and struggle even more bravely. This they would do several times, and when they gained the upper hand over the Romans [Byzantines], they would stop turning back again. Then they would draw their swords, release an appalling roar, and fall upon the Romans quicker than a thought. They would seize and massacre those who fought bravely and those who behaved cowardly alike". [Vásáry, István (2005). Cumans and Tatars Oriental Military in the Pre-Ottoman Balkans 1185-1365.

You're forgetting that before the mongol and turkic expansion much of central Asia was inhabited by indo european peoples and this includes steppe people such as the Scythians and Khazars (who were majority ginger) the Huns, Magyars all the way to the Cumans one of the last Indo european steppe people. The mongol invasions drove many indo european people from central Asia and into Europe.

As a Balkan Turk I really enjoyed this one. It sometimes surprises people when they learn there are caucassian (white) looking Turks. But we existed ever since Attila first stepped foot into the Balkans and some say even before that. Since Turks originate from Siberia (according to some sources) we look more caucassian than other Asian people. Not to mention how we mixed with the local Slav, Thracian, East Germanic population. This was really well detailed, great job man.

The Cumans actually evolved their fighting style to what the Mongols did to them and they learned, adapt and overcame their enemies the same way the Mongols did. Some even argued that the Mongols were actually mixed Chinese with Turko-Caucasian people that had stayed on the steppes. That's besides the point tho. The Cumans and Kipcheks were strong horsemen that often raid China from time to time and when the Mongols went after them, they failed to mount an actual defense and fell to Genghis. However, even with the Cuman-Kipchek Alliance falling, many Cumans that survived took what they learnt and utilized it against the Mongols themselves or against other potential enemies as it works and they saw how a well-armoured Kievan Rus knights gets slaughtered by the Mongol horde on horseback and from there, they learnt. It was even recorded that the Cumans best strategy was what the Mongols liked to use the most and that's the "feint retreat" where they sent their light cavalry towards enemy lines, pelt them with arrows or skirmishes then retreat to a faux position that already had an ambush in an effort to lure their enemies out to fight them but instead lure them deep into the well placed ambush and got rid of every single one of the now ensnared enemy. That was the Cuman's best move. Also, the Cumans are warlike but they're not as brutal as people said. In war, brutality always comes into play but the Cumans were in fact as civilized as the next Christian lords of that time but it's just that because they were from "the outside", no one believed them to be civilized but treated them as tyrants and what-not. Like you said, it wasn't until Bela reinvited the Cumans back to Hungary that did they fully show that despite being a warlike council, they're great at civil stuff, just like the Mongols and the Golden Horde.

3:14 , the Pechenegs are another type of Turkic People but also the name of a gun as shown but the gun got his name from the tribe. Anyway, the Pechenegs went to Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary before the Cumans because they were pushed by the Cumans.

Scythians or their ancestors invaded Siberia way before in 8000BC. The first contact between Turkic people and Skythians dates way before than the Huns most likely. Thats why Turkic people were known as mixed-people unlike the Mongols.

Stop telling stories, you idiot! The descendants of the Cumans are Kazakhs and Crimean Tatars, but since there are fewer Crimean Tatars and they do not have statehood, today there is only Kazakhstan, the Kazakhs have a tribe of Kipchaks, of which we have almost 2 million and they are the most direct descendants of the Cumans. Now tell me, do you have a Kipchak tribe and what is its size?

Bro no offense but at points it literally just sounded like you're just reading different wikipedia articles in the most convoluted manner possible..

The Basarabs were mentioned as Vlachs because they mostly ruled over the Romanian people and assimilated into their religion and culture. The only Turkic name in their dynasty is the name of Basarab the Founder and those named after him, but otherwise members of their dynasty had Romanian names. The Cuman origin of the Asen dynasty is subject to much debate and controversy. Contemporary sources say they were also Vlachs, a view which is very contested by Bulgarian nationalists who give credit to the dynasty's claim of descending from the tsars of the first Bulgarian Empire. Linguistically however, the name "Asen" can only be traced back to the Cuman-Kipchak languge. The truth might be in the middle, as it is possible that they were ethnic Cumans living in a Vlach community and after their ascent to power they assumed a Bulgarian identity to establish their right to rule over the lands of the old empire, such things are not uncommon to newly established royal houses.

K-hantay.... Very inventive

When I first encountered them I thought they were sturgians from M&B 2 just because their helmet.

Those face masks are on point though

The history of the cumans is simple. WHat would the mongols be like in the 12th century if they were white and didn't have Genghis khan, Tusbodai or Jebe? Mind you a heap of cumans/Kipchaks joined with the mongols. Those who didn't had to flee as refugees to Hungary. In hungary they could have saved King Bela and Hungary form the mongols, only the stupid hungarian nobles killed the Cumans leader in a lynching, so the cuman refugees raided a bit then refused to help the Hungarians. Later on though they did, and they were really the only chance Hugnary had against the the sub-khanates, as they had similar skills to the mongols, and many had spent decades fighting them. The cumans also represented the best opportunity for the kings of hungary who were very weakened after the mongol raids. In medieval times, the king was really just the CEO. The head of the board. With each other high noble being a board member. Every board member including the CEO has 1 equal vote, but the CEO has the most influence. Also may of these high nobles had their own claim to be CEO. As king you really were just first amongst equals. The cumans weren't hungarian. They had no claims. SO the king gave them big swathes of land the mongols had "depopulated". But the contract was that the cumans were the kings personal fiefs. You fought only for the king. This essentially turned the cumans into the praetorian guard or the nazi's SS. A personal army. However by 1403 the cumans 100% did not dress like they do in the game. They were very earupoean/Hungarian by then, but retained their warrior culture and only some nomadic culture.

You have a way with words but you are mistaken about royalty. Nobles didn't have an equal claim to be CEO. Most of Hungarian kings weren't Hungarian 😉 Think of it, if 'blue blood' foreigner marries into 'blue blood' ruling family, their offsprings have a claim to be rulers because they aren't foreigners anymore. Sometimes blue blood isn't even necessary. Meritocracy can work too.

A critical component for change is a wild card, who goes unnoticed, and has already established itself to be known by the ones counting on them. The male ego at work...

Cumans sure had a spicy history.

5:41 Kaaaaahn!!!!!!

Is this the etymology of coomer?

“Golden Horde Kahante” didn’t you mean Khanate?

The Polovtsians are not a Mongol-like wild people, this people initially takes their genes from the great Scythians, I myself am a Ukrainian with Kazakh roots, our great-grandfathers fought with the Mongols for a very long time, unfortunately they were defeated because the Mongol army was very big and great, but our ancestors fought bravely and with dignity and many Polovtsian tribes, especially the eastern ones, remained under the rule of the Mongols of the Genghisids and the rest fled to the west to Europe and south to Egypt where they were able to create a very large Mamaluk army and then the Polovtsy took revenge on them for the blood of our murdered great-grandfathers in many cases they are mercenaries in the course of all the stories entering Europe than Asia and I repeat once again that I am not a Slav I am a Turkic Kipchak But Russian by nationality I have Ukrainian and Kazakh roots and also Finnish we have never been savages all these are sterotypes just in many stories we are described as Vikings because we are in many battles always dominated as well as the Scythians this is the only Aryan race it was from the Scythians that the Aryans came out do not forget this

Not Kuten. Kötény or Kötön. I am Cuman myself. Cumans nowadays are found in the central of the Carpathian Basin. We speak Hungarian too.

So basically eastern European vikings right? That's hella cool haha

I was actually dropping them like flies in 1v1 as Teresa. I killed the guy guarding the mine. He has a hunting blade or w/e. Totally wrecks these guys. I get through their defenses quickly and shut them down.

Why were old names of everything so funny

It's not really that confusing that they had blond hair and blue eyes. They were probably the remnants of groups like the Scythians and other Indo-European people who originate from the Eurasian Steppe. In fact, all modern Europeans descend from steppe people at least partially.
