In reference to the beginning of the war between #4409/4407 and 4408/4401

Looking at the layout of the empire, Attila saw a vast growth of cities and villages strewn out over the land. This was one of the largest empires on the continent and no doubt would be a true sight in the years to come. They had grown rapidly and it did not look as if they would slow down. Gold had been given to the citizens of the nation to expand and they had readily accepted the bribe to move and create new cities.

He hoped this would leave the enemy nation in a state of shock and give him a chance to strike another blow before they could retaliate.

The archers fired as fast as they could string an arrow up at the raid party. They were getting closer to the city walls and the city commander knew if he could just strike down enough of the force that he could defend the city with the few troops left there for defense. The archers
