Perhaps in the hands of the player. In the hands of the AI, the Huns may be like the Mongols in MTW - an initial challenge, but not a map subjugating (sp?) one. Remember, AI vs AI combat is done by referring to some aggregated combat factors in the auto-combat model. Details of the battlemap combat model like the virtual immunity of Cantabrian circle to foot archery[1] won't affect those outcomes.

[1] which I agree should be fixed!
