>40+ years of gaming history
>Thousands of fantastical or historical games featuring or inspired by Greek, Nordic, Semitic, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Buddhist, Native American etc. mythologies and/or settings
>Not a single game features anything about Turkic mythology
Literally why?
do turks and romans had forefathers in common? they both were into female wolves
Where do you think Constantinople was?
Ashina was an Iranic tribe, probably came from them.
How is a tribe ironic
no, osmans just took over the eastern roman empire, that's why istanbul still has the 7 hills of rome in its crest
Troy was in Asia Minor and the Aeneid implies the Trojan refugees eventually settle in the Italian peninsula.
The aeneid doesn't imply it, it straight up says it. That doesnt matter though because it was made up by Virgil. Also Turks weren't in Anatolia for man centuries after Rome had already fallen, they're from central Asia
Turks destroyed Rome in 1453.
Turkic people from Central Asia and Mongolians have a lot in common in their culture and traditional way of life.
Turkish people not so much since they've been in Anatolia for 500 years by now.
But Central Asians are Muslims and have more Russian influence, while Mongols are Buddhists and have much less Russian influence.
Some linguists propose a single language family for Turkic and Mongolian languages, but it's not proven.
No they didn't, they destroyed Greek speaking ethnic greeks who called themselves Romans
This is actually kinda dope, any recommended literature on the subject perhaps?

Cheers friend, I found a pdf.

Do Romans have anything in common with Muslim barbarians that roamed down and pillaged the Roman empire? OF COURSE NOT you fricking moron
Those were different time.

>Muslim
>pillaged the Roman empire
moron.
Yes, Turks are rightful inheritors of Roman empire. The West hates this one simple fact.
Eh, nothing in common
Both Rome and Ottomans were militaristic globohomosexual empires feeding itself from slaves(common people).
Etruscans came from Anatolia.
Educate me anon, talk about Turkic folklore.
wolf mother fricked a dude and gave birth to the turks or some shit like that,
Not sure about the depictions themselves. But information is correct. Earliest depictions of gods were similar to animals, Tengri(chief god) is depicted as a white swan for example.
Look Jōmon-Scythian hybrid
We are now at the phase where Turkiye is going to be really forefront.
Finally a reason to post this.
Yiff in stoning
Because turks, just like any other north african or middle east nation, lost their identity when they became mudslimes. No one gives a shit about them. Just like no one gives a shit about Eastern Europe outside of eurojank and russians in ww2 or being the general purpose enemies.
Witcher exists, it's made by Poles though. So that's a given.
Mostly because muslims tend not to participate in worldwide culture exchange. And that is because they are in the middle of the continent, so no colonization had happened during that time period nor they have influenced any of the "technology" countries. Crusades didn't help either.
More than that, buddhism and Indian culture are introduced only indirectly though Japan's version.
So, actually, you get nordic, christianity and it's ancestor, japanese and Japan-related, Chinese (because British Empire), native american (through USA only), greek/roman (because everything in south and central Europe is based on it), and British Empire, USA, sometimes USSR (and latter is only because USSR is no more). Rest of it is either incorporated in one of the above, is extremely rare and generalized or doesn't exist.
So, almost everything that is not Europe, USA, British Empire colonies or Japan. And even Japan is represented only because USA.
USSR also had Turkic peoples with similar mythologies.
This one is interesting because this dragon is a protector unlike other dragons which is seen as an great evil force to be slain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuvash_dragon
You are making a slight mistake. USSR certainly had people of different cultures living on it's territory, but the culture of USSR was artificially created to suppress the differences and religions and didn't incorporate 99% of culture traditions of different nations.
Therefore it is incorrect to consider any of the inner cultures related to "USSR being shown". Only in some relatively recent (before 2020) years there were some attempts to advance some of this cultures toward massmedia.

then why there's no Thai, Filipino, Malaysian, Indonesian, Cambodian, Vietnamese mythological lores-based games? They're the new frontier for companies to explore.
Nobody cares about your smelly shithole or the backward customs of your primitive tribe, and nobody ever will. The main reason for this isn't disdain; you aren't even important enough to hate. It's because you are and will forever be poor.

yes they do.

Pirates.

India/China.

Everywhere from vikings to China.

Voodoo if tribalistic, Europe if by-the-book.
>daggers
Everywhere.
>muay thai
Street fighter/Tekken, otherwise visuals are covered by more famous martial arts.
>living monarchies
Doesn't mean anything unless they could split the ocean wide open with their will and fancy words, otherwise dead monarchies hold more legends and mystery.
>picrelated
I would have though it is something from India.
This cultures have many impressive features, but they are not unique and were hidden for too long - their counterparts from other countries, even if created later, have taken their place in world culture earlier.
because SEA and DESI are poor while Europe and Japan aren't. both also used to have a giant movie industry to tell their own stories, history and folklore(well so does India, but first worlders don-t watch them). China has lots of money to throw around. it's that simple.
Imagine Vietnamese making a tv-show in a country full of PTSD ex-militaries?
>new frontier
Risk, that it either would not shoot or that it would blend into generic "islander" culture too much. By the way, do any of this cultures have something visually strange, unusual and impressive like ancient China or Japan?
No one would be able to recognize them. They would mistake them for Indian or Chinese lore.
Nowadays it's culturally insensitive and appropriation if non natives (at least ethnically if not culturally) depict traditional folklore. SEA is only now just breaking into Western animation. It'll be a few years until they make it into the games industry.
Dominions is full of folklore from all over the world.
It'd be pretty kino
>muslims
Mudslimes came later from arab goat frickers, they don't have anything to do with our culture. Also, turkic is a language group, so there's a lot of different people that belong to that group.
Different species of roach*
Turks are turkic, but turkics aren't turkish, it's just one country.

Watching you guys try to discuss cultures you know nothing about is actually hilarious
I wonder how many people get their world views from just this site
Worse, they get their world view from TV
>turks
>culture
Maybe a rap sheet but that's about it
This but whenever you se "people" on this board talk about swords, katana, polearms, armor, etc
Because you have to interact with the Turks.
Meanwhile in Rome.
Can anyone in this thread enlighten me , do turks an mongols have any relation?
Linguistically they are different language groups.
Some such as Kazakhs and Kyrgyz has genetic relation. For others it's mostly cultural. Similar steppe cultures, similar or same gods(Tengri is chief god in both mythologies).
Turkic is a language group, Turks are one of the people within that language group. Mongols aren't in that language group. Ethnically, mongols are more East Asian than anything. Turkic people, including Turks, have historically practiced Tengrism. Mongols are also Tengrists.
Because bestiality is not yet normal. But just you wait.
Literally no one who have ever met a turk likes them or their moronic gypsy culture
turkic doesn't mean turkish
There are lots of people watching Turkish dramas in balkans, north africa, middle east and pakistan
>lots of people
fat old ladies aren't "lots of people"
