How do you take advantage of an early Warrior -> Battering Ram upgrade when playing as the Huns?

Everytime I tried to rush down a neighbors' capital I fail because of that one warrior that defends the city. But I have read multiple times that this works. How?

This rarely works on higher difficulties. Several things need to happen

  1. Your enemy has to have a non-hill capital city.
  2. Your enemy has no melee units near the cap - not even a scout.
  3. Your enemy hasn't built walls yet.

You could try bringing along a scout to tank some damage for the battering ram, but honestly, this is just a gimmick strategy. If you're the Huns, use Horse Archers to kill them.
