Description[]

Speed and mobility are more important to these mounted troops than armour, and at full gallop, they have enough power to shock and stagger lightly-armoured enemies, softening them up for heavier allies.

The raiders' strength is not in prolonged, close skirmishes, but their flexibility to move quickly across the battlefield and the initial impact of their spear-led charges.

This flexibility makes them useful for chasing down enemies attempting to flee the battlefield, quickly adding to the tally of enemy casualties.
