Age of Empires II: The Conquerors/Atilla the Hun

Barbarian Hordes feast on a dying Roman empire. The most dangerous of these invaders are the Huns and their ferocious king, Attila. After pouring out of the Caspian Steppes, looting and burning all the while, the Huns become so powerful that the Roman empire is forced to pay a tribute to Attila. But the king of the Huns is still not satisfied, and he mobilizes his horsemen to invade Gaul and eventually Rome itself! Can nothing stop the brutal Attila?

Relics
Relics will have guards or will be hidden. Search in thick areas of trees or where there are wolves. Relics will almost always be surrounded by dire wolves. Kill the wolf with any kind of militia or knight and use a monk to pick up the relic and garrison it.

There are typically 2-5 relics in a game, and depending on the settings, if you collect them all you win. But a relic can be stolen from you of you areA attacked.

'''Atilla the Hun 1
Objectives: Attila must survive, (1) Attila must kill Bleda, (2) Defeat Scythians, Persians, or Western Roman Empire (defeat only 2 Enemies)

Optional: Free the Scythian Scout, Bring Attila to the Scythian Camp, Bring 10 Horses to the Scythian Pen

Now you start with nothing until you get Attila now Bleda will betray you when you kill the iron boar so you can switch your diplomacy to Bleda to enemy and kill him from the start(you don't need to kill the iron boar) then return to camp Bleda's Huns will switch to ally to you again so no need to switch sides again when you go back to camp the archers that Bleda prepared to kill Attila will come to the camp, kill all the Archers quickly now you Receive Bleda's Base then first put all your villagers to work and then send your troops to a small Persian mining post (indicated with walls near your Base) kill the villagers and send you own villager to mine now you are given told that a number of villagers were captured at the Base of the Western Roman Empire so send your troops to take out the Western Roman empire base there is a optional mission Free the Scythian Scout well it is up to you if you want to free him or not if you free him Scythians will ask you a request for Attila to visit the Scythians base well then they will ally with you and they will reward you if you bring them 10 horses inside the pen well send the horses you ave captured to the pen and they will give you some Mangudai this will truly help a lot now you can choose Defeat the Scythians by betraying them or Persians well it is your choice.

Tips: You can refuse the Challenge of Bleda by going south a few troops will join you even the Hun commander will join you so bring them west and Start your base you will soon be attacked by Bleda himself and his troops so kill all of them then you receive Bleda's Entire Base You then have two Bases.

Persian Build Ships so Try building your own navy.

Advance to the next age quickly so you can begin pumping out some Tarkans.

Remember to gather much resources as possible.

Atilla the Hun 1 alternate
That's one way of doing it. I find that if you ride up to the iron boar then Bleda will attack and be killed. To free the villagers from the roman camp you should have the villagers attack the dividing palisade between them and the Scythian. After that destroy the palisade keeping them in, then walk out of the west end of the camp. (There's no gate at that end) walk a little ways, build a mill and take out the large deer herd. And build towers to the souh of your base to prevent the Romans from attacking. Also sell most of your resources for gold. Then buy what you need back to train. Speaking of which I use a lot of skirmishers, horse archers, and sword infantry. Watch for Persian settlements being built, especially just West of your base. You don't have to give the Scythians the horses. If you bring Atilla to there base they become your allies, then you can trade with them. And if you wait long enough they will attack the Persians. Coordinate your attack with theirs. And use fireships. They have much better rate of fire than the Persian war galleons. And The Persians have an entire network of docks up and down the East bank of the river, take out ALL of the war galleons.

Attila the Hun 2
Objectives: (1) Raid All Roman Villages Except the Roman Fort (blue), (2) Destroy the Roman Fort's Town Center

Optional:Give 6 Villagers to the Scythians

Now you begin with a small raiding group. You can start by raiding Naissus without taking any damage to your troops, and then kill all the villagers of Sofia before they enter the town center for protection. Then destroy Sofia's town center, so that you get some food. Then, go south, and someone from your troop will tell you that some of your soldiers are trapped near the castle of Dyrrhachium. If you want some extra soldiers, you can go inside the town by destroying it's fortifications. First, destroy it's town center, and then just destroy thst palisade wall in which your troops are trapped, before fleeing. You can destroy the castle later, after you have built up a base.

When you get to Thessalonica, do not kill the villagers, only destroy the houses and some of the Enemy troops then you receive some villagers. Kill the villagers who refuse to join you. Now move east where you'll see the city of Adrianople. Kill everyone,destroy their buildings, especially the mining camps, and build your base there. You would be able to find a lot of stone in the west of the town. Make a Town center, and some basic buildings. Wall off the Roman entrance, and build a castle when you have enough stone. Now you are told of Scythian wild women well go to the west of the roman fort you see a opening there you encounter the Scythian wild women then send 6 villagers to then and you a small group of petard and hunting wolves now make a diversion in the northern bridge and send the hunting wolves to kill the enemy forces as a diversion and send the petards to destroy the town center and you win the mission.

Tips: Don't attack the Roman Fort early or your Army is Toast.

It is not needed to destroy all the buildings in the area just destroy the needed buildings to get the Resources.

If you want to defeat all of the Roman Villages kill/Destroy The Following: Sofia = Town Center Dyrrhachium = Castle and Town Center Thessalonica = Market, troops, Docks, and Villagers if some did not join you Naissus = villagers and trade workshop Adrianople = villagers, troops, and some of the buildings
