Description:

This mod is about the era of Attila the Hun on the big campaign map. During this period, the Hun Emperor Attila seized power in Europe and subdued many tribes. However, it has two major rivals, the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. In order for this domination to continue, these two Empires and hostile tribes must be subjugated. The start date of the mod is 445 AD.

Attila was the ruler of the Hun Empire from 434 when he was the ruler of the Hun communities until his death in 453. During his reign, he expanded his empire to cover much of the Europe of the time. At the time of his death, the lands under his rule extended to Germania in the west, the Ural River in the east, the Baltic Sea in the north, and the Black Sea in the south. During his reign, Attila led many Germanic and Persian tribes, Ostrogoths, Bulgars, and Alans, as well as the Huns.

Attila became one of the most feared enemies of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires during his empire. He crossed the Danube twice and plundered the Balkans, but felt no need to capture Constantinople. After his campaign against the Persians, his successful incursion into the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire in 441 encouraged Attila to invade the West. He crossed the Rhine to capture Gaul and managed to advance as far as Aurelianum until he was stopped by troops led by Flavius Aetius with heavy losses at the Battle of Catalonia.

He invaded Italy and plundered the northern provinces, but did not advance on Rome. He planned new expeditions to Rome in the future, but died suddenly in 453. After Attila’s death, his close adviser, Gepid King Ardarik, launched a Germanic revolt against Hun rule, and in its wake the Hun Empire collapsed with the Battle of Nedao.
