The Huns

The Huns

The Huns are a must-rush civ in death matches, making them unique from
other civ. They have the weakest siege of any civ, anything besides
rams and trebs is inexcusable, no matter what the circumstances. The
advantage the Huns have over other civs however is that they do not
need houses, making it incredibly easy to amass a huge army while your
opponent constantly needs to stop production due to population limits.
Take advantage of this at all times.

Start Off - The very first thing you should do is send out your scout
to the enemy base. Then build either a market, or make stables and
archery ranges. Go for a combination of Paladins and cavalry archers,
or trick them into thinking you will come with paladins and mass 60
cavalry archers and storm in. This works phenomenally well since the
cavalry archers are cheap, they move fast, and in such a large quantity
so early can't often be stopped, even if you have the counter.

If you try to rush and fail, you will lose as your enemy will more than
likely just build lots of siege and you won't be able to counter since
Huns siege is horrible. Never use Tarkans unless you know you're going
to win, as they cost as much but are worse than Paladins. Their attack
bonus against buildings is useful, but your enemy will kill your
Tarkans in the process.

Lastly, always save some gold so you can pump out a cavalry archer
brigade, as they can work wonders on an enemy that makes mistakes, like
leaving trade routes open or leaves infantry by themselves.
