The Huns blasted onto the European scene like a bolt of lightning from the outer edge of the world. The legend of Attila sees him as a ferocious wild beast with a vast empire, stretching from Ukraine to Hungary. Psychological warfare was key - villages in their path were slaughtered and burned to the ground. The Huns greatest weapon were their people - the way they fought, novelty and terror instilled. Attila as a tactical genius spotted the weakness of Rome after the failed Vandal expedition, and began assaulting Roman cities and taking territories from the Roman Empire. Populations were enslaved and slaughtered, integrating into the Hun war machine. The final battle between the Romans and Huns was about Western Civilization itself. Rome and its Gothic allies miraculously defeated Attila and his aura of invincibility was lost. The Huns disappeared from the European landscape and never were to return.
