How to Play Cumans
Ideal opening (Dark → Castle): Lean on the signature Feudal-Age second Town Center to run a 2 TC boom — your villager count outpaces opponents while you wall up and stay safe, then convert that economy into a powerful Castle-Age push.
Ideal late-game composition: Mass Elite Kipchaks as your gold-based ranged threat, screen them with cheap trash Hussars for raiding and to absorb hits, and add Bombard Cannons to break formations and crack down on siege.
Deathball composition (closed maps / team games): Combine Kipchaks with Paladins for raw mobility and punch, and round out the army with Siege Rams or Trebuchets to demolish walls and buildings as you grind forward.
Recommended build: 18 Pop Cumans 2 TC Boom
