@voidburger is the best addition to the GB family. And I am talking even back to the 'Old School Days', Just imagine vids with her and Vinny.

Ok, I'll stop here but @jerf and @jeff_gerstmann Keep on guys! The GB community (even as critical we can get) counts on you!

(Plus, I know how it is with 2 small kids in the house)

Thank you!!!!!!

I'm pretty excited about this. Reminds a lot of Christopher Manson 'The Maze' puzzle book in art style (I believe that was also made into a Mac game)

This game is incredible and I'm glad to see it sell over a million copies so quickly.

Maybe if it reaches 10 million sales GB will deem it worthy of taking a look at.

I agree, and a lot of reviewers that initially dismissed it e.g. Gamespot, turned around to liking it. Again jank in open world games is nothing new (Witcher, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3,4 etc) so that should not be a reason for dismissing a game.

@sgtexo:

Origins[edit]

Asia, circa 1200

The ethnic origins of the Cumanians are uncertain.[20]:30[8]:279[31][need quotation to verify] The Cumans were reported to have had blond hair, fair skin and blue eyes (which set them apart from other groups and later puzzled historians),[13]:36[25]:43[32] although their anthropological characteristics suggest that their geographical origin might be in Inner-Asia, South-Siberia, or (as Istvan Vassary postulates) east of the large bend of the Yellow River in China.[6][7][33][34] Robert Wolff states that it is conjectured[by whom?] that ethnically the Cumans may not originally have been Turkic.[3

Pretty much what you say, really. By the time they are involved in this game at any rate, they are by culture Turkic.

Well, Wikipedia Cumans states: The Cumans (Polovtsi) were a Turkic[1][2][3][4]:116 nomadic people comprising the western branch of the Cuman-Kipchakconfederation. After the Mongol invasion (1237), many sought asylum in Hungary,[5] as many Cumans had settled in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey before the invasion.[6][7]:2[8]:283

The Cuman language is attested in some medieval documents and is the best-known of the early Turkic languages.[4]:186 The Codex Cumanicus was a linguistic manual that was written to help Catholic missionaries communicate with the Cuman people.

At least that is what historians have settled for, for now. And yes, their origins are uncertain at this point and I agree with the guess that Cumans might have 'originated' in the more northenr parts of Asia. It's been theorized that humans developed paler skins (and with that lighter hair) in areas were sun exposure was not as high (northern areas). Pales skin allows for better Vitamin D absorption.

Recent analysis and recreation of the "First Brit" also known as the 'Cheddar Man' show that first migrants into Northern Territories might have had black skin before evolving pale skin.
