I would suggest you may want to add to them, in this time frame, either a merchant, trade caravan or some other way of expressing their connection with Greater Asia and there by giving some way of getting out of the huge debt gained in the first 10 turns or so, even if you take the nearest city from the Cummans, the economic decline is very steep, spending the several turns to get to Georgia puts you in debt faster.
