Sneak Attack with Huns

In the last post I talked about sneak attacks and some basic steps to avoid them. Now I tell a sneak attacks strategy that is unique to Huns. Huns unique unit is the Tarkan , a mounted unit with lots of pierce armor and a attack bones against buildings , just the type of unit you need to flatten a castle. 9 fully upgraded Tarkans can destroy a Teuton castle. But you don't need to destroy the whole castle to kill the king. Once you reduce the hit points to about 80% the units in the Castle will jump out. But usually at that stage the other player has probably build more Castles around it so its better to take as many as you can. Just as the King comes out you should be ready with your Cavalry Archers. Huns have both the Thumb Ring ( Archery Range ) and the Parthian Tactics ( Archery Range ) available to them making their Cavalry Archers one of the most formidable in the game , plus their 30% cheap so Huns can produce them cheaper than other civilizations. A quick kill and your victorious.
Most players who are aware of this tactic usually directs the castle attack toward the Cavalry Archers and tries to kill the Cavalry Archers first , you be sure to protect them as much as you can. If this tactic fails and you weren't able to kill the king be sure to retreat and heal your units. Tarkans and Cavalry Archers are not cheap so you should use them sparingly.As a added bonus researching spies ( Castle ) is 50% cheap for the Huns.
This trick is unique to the Huns , But what are the methods that can be used by other civilizations. More of that in the next post.
