This is a nice leaderhead, but I do have a comment about that "gentleman" Atilla. He once ate his son with one of these two methods (no one is sure which): a) his son was roasted with honey or b) his son was raw and marinated/served with honey. I say that sums up what kind of person Atilla was right there, set aside his warped-mind brutality. But again, it is a nice leaderhead.

@drzoidberg, Attila European?... how European, why European, since when European ?- what is it with the Europeans anyway 
the only true Europeans out there were the Neanderthals (and they probably were illegal immigrants too)

I will add my vote that the modern interpretation of Atilla looks just as I might imagine him -- the original ruthless businessman adept at hostile takeovers -- with a sincere appreciation of the finer things in life and for taking them by force.

Nice leaderhead. 
Though maybe not the most accurate rendition of Attila. 
But then again, there never were any accurate descriptions of him throughout history, so what the heck.

My thoughts exactly!! I knew it wasn't accurate when compared to some images I've seen of Attila, but it was how I thought he should look. Thanks for the comments

The Huns were come from Middle-Asia, the Hungarians came out from their tribe and settled in the Kárpátok... I didnt said Attila was Hungarian, I said the Hungarian cities are closer to the Huns than the Bulgarian and Rumanian ones. But if you have better city lists post it!

.We've got the leaderhead and UU (Tarkan). We even have other units we could use, like the Hun by Dom Pedro II. The Mongol Golden Horde set for the Mongol GOTM would be nice, as it includes horse archers and even has one that becomes a settler.
As for a city list, we're struggling. I've found that Tongwancheng was an ancient capital of the Xsiung-nu, who are thought to be ancestors of the Huns. The other cities in this list are cities where I've found that there's evidence of Hun settlements (though I'm not implying that this is a perfect city list):
Tongwancheng
Gizellamajor
Ivolginsk
Gostivar
It's not a very long list is it? I'll try and add more if I can.
We could also use the city list as per the post on page 1 of this thread, but I'm not sure that's accurate either
. It's also possible that some cities out of the Mongol's city list, eg Darhan, might have previously been Hun cities, but I'm not sure.EDIT : I've just been viewing Mobilize's 31OCM thread, in which Mongoloid Cow has a city list for the Xiong-Nu, which I think is another spelling of Xsiung-Nu (who I said were thought to be ancestors of the Huns). Would this city list be more accurate than anything else we have? You can link to the post here.
Actually there were two Hun empires: The Great Hun Empire(which is in the Central Asia,lead by Teoman) and the European Hun Empire(which is lead by Attila). So the city list must not be the ones in cental asia or middle east.
Also Huns are not Hungarians.They come from the roots where Turks and Mongols also originated.
But the word HUNgarian comes from the HUN.That's not because they have the same origins but the Huns occupied Hungary for a long period

I think what drzoidberg was trying to say was that Attila was Caucasian. And indeed he was. Although his people descended from the Steppes his family had light skin because of interaction with other nomads, yada yada yada. This is evident in all the art which has been composed of him since the time he lived. His skin is a tad bit tanner but his physical features are European, although more Turkic. Probably same look as a Magyar.

@everybody else: "Europeans" do not exist nor are they an ethnicity or- whatever you may come up with- they are most probably not it. Germans for instance came from the Indus valley along a coupple of other so called "aryan" peoples (i.e. Celts, who left the party early)- and arrived in Europe a few hundred years before the Huns would arrive. So it basically took some light-skinned Asian freaks a few thousand years to reach Europe- to nowadays being named "Europeans"- I rest my case...

-- except, AFAIK, the issue of Neanderthals (Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis or Homo Neanderthalensis?) remains unresolved. Yes, present theory tends towards Neanderthals' extinction, but the prospect of interbreeding remains a possibility.
