The star shows their capital right? what city is that

[Y_filip]

yes it is at hungary

[Nakharar]

What city is the star?? What was the capital of the Huns??

[The Bronze boy]

Hmm when I would play as the huns I would allways call the their hungarian capital Huntropolis but other then that the closest you would get to finding the Huns capital name was Ordu well that is if you want to think of them as a turkish people, (The where a heavily mixed people from what I know), Apart from that Y_filip may have the answer.

some said the capital is Budapest but i don't the acient names


In the 5th century, Aquincum, upon which modern Budapest is built, came under the control of the Huns who ousted the Romans from the colony and chased them further back in to Italy. The Huns established themselves in what is now Budapest and remained here for approximately 500 years.

[Y_filip]

some said the capital is at east region of Tisza

[Y_filip]

maybe this can help



In or around 425 (the year King Ruga lent a hand to Aetius in Italy), the Huns transferred their main base of activity to a part of the Hungarian Plain lying between the Tisza, Maros, and Körös rivers; it was probably from this base that Uptar launched his Burgundian campaign in 430. In 435, at the time of the Margus peace talks, Bleda and Attila travelled from the Temes region to meet with the Eastern Roman negotiators; in 440, Bleda crossed the Danube at Viminacium (Kosztolác) to attack Eastern Roman towns. After Ruga's death, and between 434 and 444–45, the central ordu, situated in the middle of the region east of the Tisza, was Bleda's place of residence, and it later became the 'capital' of Attila's empire. Earlier, between 434 and 445, Attila's ordu had been situated somewhere between the Lower Danube and the southeastern Carpathians, in present-day Wallachia. There he {1-182.} received the Eastern Roman emissaries, and it was from there that he launched his campaigns in 441.

Thanks Y2day it does also the timelines of events will help greatly with emerging faction dates

[Y_filip]

since the huns are from mongols their tactic are same








favorite weapon beaside bow

[Icedie El Guaraní]

Can you make the images bigger? or link them!! i can´t see a thing!

[Y_filip]

some idea about unit

Steppe Cavalry
Huns elite cavlry
King's guard / khan 's guard
huns horse archer
huns lancer
steppe light swordsmen
steppe heavy swordsmen
huns spearmen

[Y_filip]

i think the faction leadershould have "king" title not khan because when attila became the king of huns he is not just the king of Hus but Visghots , sarmatian ,etc

[Nakharar]

yes i agree King

[NikeBG]

Why? "King" is a Western title, most definitely not used by the Huns (although the Goths, as Germanic people, might have had "konungs" of some sort, I don't know about them). But if "khan" doesn't seem great enough, then eventually "khagan" could be used?
