Attila- Horse Archer Spam

[Trik]

So yeah, this is pretty OP. Just research archery and the wheel, then just spam horse archers. They don't require horses to be built and the have no damage penalty vs cities. Add in a scout or something to cap the cities though.

Use a battering ram to capture the cities, much better.

I just faced a Hun invasion. They had half the world and two other civs conquered before they got to me, I did everything I could to defend (immortal Pangaea) and got crushed. It was like turn 60 and an army of a dozen units descended on my city with battering rams and horses upgraded to knights. It didn't end well for me.

I've dealt with all the UUs before, Liz's bowman rush, Japans Bushido, etc... and nothing touches the huns IMHO. Needs a nerf.

They should have made there drawback that they cant upgrade, thats the real problem. Having level five knights come at you on turn 80 is not fun.

Things like this never seem to happen to me on immortal. I routinely get rushed by spearmen and warriors that can just be farmed for experience even when my opponents have the techs for better units...

This game makes no sense.

As Egypt, imortal on standard sized continents I did a war chariot rush which killed all civs on my continent.

India were the last civ to fall and they put up a fight with pikmen but that couldn't stop the chariots and the Indian civs met their end to an ancient era unit while they were in the middle ages.
