Historical background
The Huns, a horse people from the steppes of Central Asia, appeared north of the Black Sea around AD 375, subjugated the Alans and broke the realm of the Greuthungi; their advance is regarded as the trigger of the Migration Period. From the Hungarian plain they ruled a multi-ethnic empire in the 5th century and extorted heavy tribute from the Eastern Empire. Under Attila they marched into Gaul in 451, where they were halted on the Catalaunian Plains, and into Italy in 452. After Attila's death in 453 the empire quickly fell apart.

The Hunnic Empire is the largest realm on the map after Persia, and a nation of horsemen: it has the most horse deposits and more kinds of light cavalry than any other realm. But its provinces yield little tax, and it has no salt at all.
As a barbarian realm you raise Tribes, up to 5 a month, the last two of them at a surcharge. Your troops are cheaper and more numerous but of lower quality. You can only form a friendship with other barbarian realms.
What to watch
- Your strength is speed. With light cavalry you reach any border of your wide land quickly.
- Every rider needs a horse. Build horse breeding on your horse deposits, where it yields half again as much.
- No salt deposit anywhere in the realm: without a salt trade your population grows only half as fast. Sogdia has salt and is your neighbour.
- Many wool deposits supply weaving mills. You need textiles for armour points and fire missiles.
