I dislike the Chinese names which are just basically variations of "Northeast" since it seems to be an obviously pointed and hindsight focused name so I don't want to use that but is there nothing better?)
We kind of have a monopoly for names referring to Northeast China, so stuff to live with despite not liking it.
 
I've looked at the culture used for new helmets :

- Vanilla steppe are used by steppe culture (meaning turkic + mongol )
- Golden horde helmet (from tour and tournamenet) used by steppe also
- the new helmet (withtout mask) is only used by mongol
- the new helmet (with mask) is only used by cuman (cuman are inside turkic culture)

So mongol use a base helmet that ins't used by cuman and cuman use a helmet with a part that is not supposed tu be used by cuman

A real mess
