The story goes that Attila used to collect exotic animals that he found during his conquests. He particularly liked dangerous or fearsome animals, and his favourite was a giant snake. He was so fond of it, it was said that he brought it with him on every campaign.
But his snake lost its appetite, and soon stopped eating altogether; perhaps due to the stress of frequent travel and an irregular diet.
Wishing to save his prized pet, Attila sought help from the local chirurgeons and witch doctors. None of them could do anything for him, until a wizened sage suggested feeding the serpent only young female virgins.
Attila was pleased with this idea, and was delighted to find that a city he had raided just happened to have a Christian convent with a convenient supply of the recommended food for his pet.
But the snake refused to eat, or even touch any of the consecrated virgins from the convent. Enraged, Attila sent for the soothsayer who advised him to have him executed.
Standing before Attila, the old man calmly said, "Before thou killest me, may thee first bring the snake and one of the women to me."
Curious, Attila did as he asked.
Then the old man took some bread and gave it to Attila.
"Now hold these in both hands, " he instructed.
Attila did so, and as soon as he did, the snake let out a terrifying hiss, and swallowed the virgin whole.
To an amazed Attila, the old man simply said,
"Thy anaconda don't want nun unless you've got buns, Hun."

All other cultures: "Wait, your entire empire is homeless?"
The Huns: "tiim uu"

[DCdabest]

Hun Trebuchet operators be like "35% of the time it hits 100% of the time"

[utkarshsrivastava]

"Long overdue redo of overview"

love it

[Nadie-mbvw]

I, as many veterans here, survived the cruel era of the Voobly huns war. Thousands of meaningless fights, corpses of cav archers, palandins and halbs, 400 pings and endless "sync errors" with hundreds of games down the drain without a chance to restore... truly it was the darkest of times for AOE2...

HUNS ARE HUNS
Btw adding a trash section in the tech tree is a great idea

[aidankatz]

How accurate is this Treb?
Normal people: seems kinda better
SOTL: lemme test 2400 shots to see

Hey Spirit! Just wanted to say that I love the little opening cinematics you include that use the civ's Wonder in some appropriate context!

Other University: Huns, How is your university?
Hun: What is University?

[VRichardsn]

Fun fact: the Huns should be an Age of Empires I civilisation, given that their entire recorded history takes place during Antiquity, not the Middle Ages.

[FuelDropforthewin]

I see Tarkins as basically "super fast siege" that can keep up up with your army of knights/cav archers as they rampage across the map.

[tyranitararmaldo]

The title card coming up on the "bonk" was way too satisfying.

Also Huns losing to Persians is also really satisfying.

Atheism: "you don't win because of your wonder BECAUSE WE DON'T BELIEVE IT LALALALALALALA" *fingers in ears*

[travtotheworld]

Spirit: Huns are best known for their cheep cavalry archer.
Atilla: **Laughs in houses**

[Admiral-Spire]

8:14 * rides into your village *
"M'lady"
* tips fur hat and burns your TC*

[jamaly]

My friend only plays Huns because he hates building houses in 500 pop games.

[youtubenamebad]

Feels like so much effort in this civ overview, had actually been bingeing the Civ Overviews recently too.

[devinshilightsdale]

The huns house bonus isn't about the wood at all, it's the fact you don't have to worry about houses

[luke]

A major advantage in team games which has been overlooked is the ability to run and rebuild in a team-mates base easily due to the lack of houses
