Ok so basically when you play Huns you can get, reinforce and increase your army for free. Just build some horsemen, start war with anybody, capture some spearmen, archers. Then it will be easier for you to capture more. The snowballing has began. You can even leave enemy cities alone just to let them produce units and thrn capture them too. No idea why anybody didn't notice imbalance of that. Several successful wars - and your army becomes so huge nobody cam stop it. The best and only way to counter this is either to make a crushing blow early on, or go full defensive with citadels between mountains, spearmen etc. The latter won't work if your territory is flat and without much hills/forests - you won't be able to concentrate sufficient force in every part of your border. Also even if it works - it will mean you won't be able to advance and expand beyond your borders until you make enough military power to defeat Huns in open terrain. But you will never able to, because 1) you will need much larger force because Huns have flanking bonuses and because they will capture some of your units and use them against you ( so you must outnumber them at least 2 to 1 initially ); and 2) Huns can increase army fastet because they build it in cities AND capture units from city states and other civs. So going full defensive will only buy you some time, but time will be against you. So only crushing Huns early (VERY early, before they make first horseman ideally) is viable option.
And like if that's not enough - there are Eki which can give insane amount of production which will also boost military units production.
And you can pick God of War pantheon and max out Authority branch, meaning every kill will get you free units, science, culture, faith (which you can use to purchase more units) and gold (which you can use to upgrade units after capturing puppets). You won't even need to have cities at this point, army will advance your civ by itself.
This civ is no joke, seriously. It's even more broken than Sweden.
Huns vs Sweden in late game? No problem, Sweden will be outnumbered 10 to 1 and no amount of insta-healing will help.
So let's reduce unit capture chance to sane value like 20%, now it's just too easy and not even fun.
