What are Cuman people look like?

[Lugiahua]

I'm not sure if it is a proper question on this forum...but can't think about elsewhere to ask

I never heard about Cumans at all before playing SS... now I am just wondering what do they really look like in real world.

did searches on Google, and came out mostly in-game screen shots of SS

Does anyone knows where can I found more than scree shots of Cuman people?

[Ishan]

Do a search by the name Polovtsians.

Here's a wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuman_people

Try google images for Kypchak Turks

I suspect they would look more like modern kazakhstan people (not Borat though)

Why not? I ask you, what could be more terrifying than the sight of Borat leading a horde of barbarians? Asking 'Very nice! How much!?' before burning down your village, killing your men, and taking your womenfolk

That's because Borat is from South Kazakhstan, whereas the Cumans were from North Kazakhstan.

That guy seems kinda young. It won't sound very terrifying to hear him say "Fear...is a weapon...etc."

And he's very right about the accent. A guy from France won't sound at all like what the French did in 1100.

believe it or not Cuman or Kipchak Turks were mainly blond with blue eyes.
I know coz i married a far descendent

Europeans call them Cuman, Russians call "Poloves", their Turkish name is "Kipchak". In old periods, in 200 BC- , they first seen as "Ting Ling" in Chinese chronicles...

Im a Tataro/Kypchak and here is one of my photos.

Who, me ?

[Gromovnik]

Damn, now I want to play a mod with the Borat faction included... just image the awesomeness of that.

[gracul]

Yes, SS lacks a cuman/mongol voice pack.

[Hae Shin]

I want to do this. But Im a too shy person lol. And also I and my ancestors living in Turkiye and loose it's Kypchak and Tatar dialect.
But if you say "I need your help", sure I will help you.

[Medkirtys]

*puts on glases* SS needs your help.After this, there is no turning back. Take the blue pill, and play Stainless Steel as an ordinary man, live your ordinary life. Or take the red pill, and see how deep goes the rabit hole

[k/t]

A far descendant means their ancestors interbred like crazy with other groups.

[Gromovnik]

But it's true that their name means "blond ones".

[Gnostiko]

Indeed it does, sir. I always pictured them looking an even mix between blond Goths and asiatic Huns.

[DeliCiousTZM]

fascinating an arien people as cumans ? never would have guessed

[Gogolometro]

More funny than this is cumans lived centuries in Wallachia, south Moldavia and Hungary. Here they maded the medieval romanian states. They was called black cumans because not the skin but the hair. Cumans look like a modern turk.
