Cuman 2 TC into Kipchaks
Cumans can build a second Town Center in the Feudal Age, which no other civilisation can do. Done properly it buys you an early mini boom that is very hard to answer, provided the opponent cannot get at your economy before it pays off. Capoch streams on Twitch and Kick (kick.com/capoch).

- Use **6-7 villagers** from straggler trees and sheep to build a **second TC**, on another woodline near gold or stone
- Research **Double-Bit Axe** and **Horse Collar**
