oh no... is it really this easy?

Well, Grifman, all I can say is "Oops. Good catch."

Obviously, that sentence ought to read: "I don't see any other way to account for the very wide variety of experiences people are reporting with the strategy game."

Ah, I thought you were too smart for your own good there :)

That said, I love the unpredictability ao far, though I wish there was more action on the Rhine frontier. That seemed to be a pretty big problem for the Romans, but that area seems quiet compared with the Danube. But that may just be this game - but it seems like the impact of the Huns is rather limited in the NE of the empire.

I saw it happen. With my very own newbie eyeballs. I was playin ERE on med/med (yep, I'm weak that way) and not long into the game I saw the hunn get the wood layed to em good by those folk just north of my northern Greek-land cities (old northern macedonia area I believe).

The Hunn popped up with mass stacks and got me all in a tizzy but they went for the other guy's town first and I watched 4 of their stacks reduced to not much left at all. They didnt manage to take the city but did start a siege... then who shows up? but the Vandals also in hord mode. The Hunn and the Vandels go roundy round for a couple turns till both were bascially cut down to approx 1/3 of their original strengths. The Hunn never got that city btw.

Yes it does appear that the Huns are less of a threat than expected. They remind me of the weak Golden Horde of MTW
