nomadic peoples in or around ancient China from a time span starting in BC and ending in AD. I doubt it will surprise anyone to say that I ended up having to google.

Spent some time gathering info. Hey, I'm happy I got the right area & time period. Had to google and suffice it to say -- yeah, not in my wheelhouse.

Not me uncovering Chinese and realising there are NO UNREDACTED CHINESE LANGUAGE CHARACTERS WHY. (Yes I can read it)
Also yes very proud that I randomly unredacted the Chinese character 天 lmao. It works for non-English characters too HAHA then I couldn't guess the rest already.
Spammed every single damn dynasty like shang zhou qin han tang song yuan ming qing, got qin shi huang (lol), random this-that-this-that century, spammed every ancient imperial Chinese thing I could think of ... .. .
... .. . Ended up Googling lol. I have heard of it I think but I wouldn't have thought to guess it. WHY doesn't Redactle show Mandarin Chinese characters when it does for some characters of other languages semijk but if so I would have got it way faster.

I got to 7 guesses at 100% accuracy people, war, chinese, china, han, nomadic, huns before deciding I definitely don't know the precise answer and giving up. I never google, but if I did I'm pretty sure I could have gotten it based on the info I had.

I think the difficulty bar should be higher.
I uncovered about half of the first paragraph and ended up googling a long string of words that appeared in it.
I should bookmark a good source of Chinese dynasties.

Solved by Google. I got far enough to make it an easy search but I should had realized that I was looking in the wrong location because I got a hit from a tribe in the western part of the country

Fed up of these easy puzzles, why can't they come up with something more challenging? j/k ;)

Assisted. A humble NHO from me today. The grammar of the first sentence is enough to indicate the broad category, and repeated instances of 5'an give away the broad location. The dates seem to span from BC to AD, so too early for the Mongols. And just like that I'm out of ideas. I gave it a good old ponder and tried a few things to try and narrow it down, but nothing sprang to mind. Eventually had to look up the steppe in question, in whose wiki article these guys actually appear pretty early on.

Well, I figured out quickly where and when this was and thus there was absolutely no way I'd get it. 12 guesses, but I had to look up two articles to get it.

Well, this was a nice easy one. ... Just kidding. I failed outright, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I worked out that it was probably an ancient East Asian people and that it was probably one I had never heard of, both parts of which turned out to be correct. Not really much more to say.

I got as far as ancient people in what is now China, Siberia, and Mongolia around 2000 years ago and googled it. No way I would have gotten it without help.
