Description So, I recently heard Total War: Attila was announced...

In 451, Attila and his Huns defeat the Coalition of Romans and Visigoths at Chalon, thus leading to the Huns conquering the entirety of Gaul. Only three years later, Attila died and his empire fell to pieces, but his son Ellac (or Allick) consolidates his lands in Gaul, and many of the Huns declare their loyalty to Ellac. The Hunnic Empire east of the Rhine dissipates into nothing, replaced by the Avars, Alans, and Khazars.

Continuing from Ellac's death, the Hunnic Empire grew smaller and smaller. The Franks, who had settled in Northern Gaul under Ellac's rule, asserted their independence. The Franks and Huns, though, do have an understanding and don't attack each other and are quite friendly.

But, the Eastern Hordes of the Avars, Alans, and Khazars, see Hunlu as a holy land of sorts, and continuously migrate there. The Kingdom of the Huns is generally divided into 12 territories: 4 Hunnic (Including the King's personal territory), 3 Alan, 2 Roman, and 1 each for the Khazars, Basques, and Avars.

The Kingdom of the Huns also serves as mercenaries, mostly for the Franks, but also notably for the Ostrogoth (Ostgotar) and Suebi. The Huns and the 4 Hordes are also known for consistently raiding Visigoth (Westgotar) land, as they still hold grudges against each other.

There's a problem with this scenario:  Attila didn't have the creativity to create an empire.

True, all Attila wanted was to see the world burn, literally. And while I did say Attila had an empire, I meant that in the way most of us mean when we say "Hunnic Empire."

It was really Ellac, in this scenario, that really formed some of true government from the Huns
