So, after the EU4 patch for AoW divided the Altaic culture groups into four separate ones - Altaic, Oghuz, Evenk and Tartar. Up to this point Altaic was the catch-all group for Turkic cultures - it still plays this role in CK2, but before AoW all of the CK2-only Altaic cultures - Cuman, Penecheg, Khazar, etc. - converted to the Turko-Semitic group instead of the Altaic group. My guess would that someoneone used the Turks for orientation instead of, oh, the Mongols, ignoring that the only reason Turks were in one culture group with the Arabs in EU4 was to encourage the Ottomans to conquer Egypt and Arabia.
So now that the Turks are in the new Oghuz culture group in EU4 and there's no catch-all Altaic (Turkic) group anymore, what should happen with the Altaic cultures on conversion? The Cumans aren't Oghuz Turks, but they should fit into the Tartar group (based on how many Tartar languages/dialect are part of the Kipchak today). The Pechenegs could be converted into the Oghuz group, but what about the other cultures, for example the Khazars? I don't know that much about Turkic cultures/languages, but it bugged the hell out me when all these steppe people were in the same culture group as the Arabs in EU4, despite the existance of a specific culture group for "horde cultures, namely Altaic.
I assume they will still be all put in the same culture group as the Turks in the fix, but I really hope they don't do that (again).
Another matter of hand is that in CK2 Turkmens and Turks are both represented by the same culture: Turkish. It should either split in CK2, depending on location (Turks in Anatolia, Turkmens in Turkestan/North Persia, maybe Azeri in Azerbaijan) or convert them to different cultures in EU4, also depending on location.
EDIT: Yes, there's a typo in the title. I only saw it after opening the thread.
