Why are Huns the most used civ on non water maps in 1vs1?

Why are the Huns the most used civ on maps without water, especially on Arabia? Is it because they need no houses and the cheaper cavalry archers?

Why are there so many Hun wars going on? Are there any other civs that can compete with the Huns when both players are about equally skilled?

Thanks.

Huns are as you said one of the easiest to use civs, due to no house bonus, and also they got the most powerful single castle age unit, their CA.

There are civs that can compete with huns in 1x1 ara equal skilled but people are so obsessed at copying expert Build order and style and cant do anything on their own just copy like nubz.. so thats why huns are most used and so many hun war going on.

I watched some of your recorded games and just found your Goth M@A rush guide on aok.heavengames.com. You seem to be a very good player, how comes that your ratings are rather mediocre?

There are players here in voobly who always cares more abt rating. They always stack teams and winning is more important than anything else. Also, there are player who always try to be innovative. For these players rating are not that important but rather love to introduce new ideas/strategies etc. Carlos definitely falls under second category..

Because huns involve the least booming and are the most exciting civ to play ( they only become potentially boring because you've played them about 1000 times more than any other civ,)

Well actually its a prejudice that Huns are most powerful fastest bla bla. People r actually countering them with Aztecs nowadays and it works. But its not about their power its clear that they r fast easy and effective

in castle age where you have most things to do (boom, make CA, micro.....), you have least complications with hun. Whether you are good or bad dpend on how many CA you can make/keep alive, which is easy to measure your progress! That why it easy civ to train AOC in general.

Coz castle CA have virtually no counters. 70hp means mangonel cant one shot them. Skirmshers cant mass enough to be as effective (compared to pikeman vs knight) . Monks are bad vs CA. Knights are too expensive! Only counter to CA is to mirror! So least worries!
Not like other civ where you need to be tactical. If you frank/teuts knights other guy can go pikes/monks. If you brits/aztecs xbow then he can go skirmisher/mangonel. If you mayans/spanish UU civ then they can outmass u with regular units.So its a lot more complicated.

Huns Don't need Houses which means they Have an Easier Start and they Can Boom and Build Villagers and Troops without Population Being a Problem. Cavalry Archers are also Cheaper which is good for Hit-and-Run Raiding in Castle Age. You Should Mass Up Defensive Archers/Crossbowmen and get Blacksmith archer attack upgrades and focus fire them 1 by 1 to counter it Also works with knights. Their Stables also Work 20% Faster and their Trebuchets are +30% more Accurate.
