Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition game guide focuses on Cumans Civilisation. The guide will give you some strategical tips, special civilization bonuses, team bonus, unique unit for CumansCivilization in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition game. While writing this instruction, we pick up many pieces of information from several sites for you. We hope that this guide will help you.

Cumans

(New Central Asia architecture): The vast Eurasian plains were home to nomadic tribes whose steppe husbandry and fearsome exploits still live on in the records of their terrified neighbors. Lead the Cuman-Kipchak hordes to war and pillage to your heart's content, or offer your riders as coveted mercenaries in the service of foreign kings. When an even greater threat looms to the east, will you migrate west and adopt the lifestyle and warcraft of your sedentary neighbors, or vanish before an unstoppable wave of Mongol conquerors?

Special Civilisation Bonuses:

  • Can build an additional Town Center in the Feudal Age.
  • Siege Workshop and Battering Ram available in the Feudal Age.
  • Cavalry moves 10% faster starting in the Feudal Age.

Team Bonus:

Unique Techs:

  • Steppe Husbandry: Scout Cavalry line and Cavalry Archers are trained 80% faster.
  • Cuman Mercenaries: Team members can create 10 free Elite Kipchaks in the Castle.

Unique Units: Kipchak: Multi-shot cavalry archer.

Essentially a mounted Chu Ko Nu (Chinese unique unit). It's stats aren't spectacular, but makes up for it in it's cheap cost and speed. Very micro-intensive.

Tips:

My personal favourite Civ since Conquers, what the Cumans lack in Dark Age bonuses, they make for in absurd booming capacity. You will be in a very good spot right out of the gate with the Feudal Age Town centres, which no one will be able to keep up with. Alternatively, the Siege Workshop and Battering Ram being available in the Feudal Age means you will be able to mount brutal attacks on slower economy enemies.

Missing Bracers for cavalry is a little annoying, but Steppe Husbandry more than makes up for it.

This is the ending of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Cumans^Civilization Guide. Hope it will help you. If there is wrong or you have suggestions, please let's know and comment us. Have fun.

Players can choose between the original AI, the updated HD Edition AI that was added alongside the HD Edition of the game, and a newer AI developed for the Definitive Edition.[6] The original AI had to cheat to be competitive, while the new AI is advanced enough to not require any cheating. When the old and new AIs were pitted against each other in a test, the new one easily defeated the old one.[7] Unit pathfinding is also supposedly improved upon.[8] Players can shift-queue villager tasks.[9]Farms now have the option to be replenished automatically.[10] A further expansion pack, Lords of the West, was announced on December 15, 2020 and is due for release on January 26, 2021. The Lords of the West will introduce two further civilisations, the Burgundians and the Sicilians, as well as three new campaigns, featuring Edward Longshanks, the Dukes of Burgundy and the Hautevilles.[11]
