Cumans

The Cumans are a unique civilization with the ability to build a second Town Center in the Feudal Age — one of the most economically powerful bonuses in Age of Empires II. This gives them an unmatched boom potential that is only available after Castle Age for other civilizations. Battering Rams can be produced in the Feudal Age. Cavalry move 5% faster per Age (up to 15% in Imperial). Unique tech Cuman Mercenaries gives team members access to 10 free Elite Kipchaks. Kipchak cavalry archers attack with multiple arrows simultaneously. Cumans are exceptional in team games and boom-heavy strategies, though their Feudal second TC requires strong villager management to execute correctly.
