The might of a combined Hun Empire challenges the remains of a declining and dying Western Roman Empire. Attila faces his greatest challenge at the hands of his friend and former colleague, Aetius. The fate of western civilization hangs in the balance as the Huns once again go to war!

The Roman Empire continued its fall into oblivion as Attila and his Huns rose to prominence. Men like Aetius struggled to keep the dying Civilization of Rome intact, but the King of the Huns had other ideas.
