"The raiders of Muscovy were feared for both the speed with which they came and went and ferocity while in battle."
Summary
- These mounted raiders can set fire to structures and make effective looters and skirmishers. They seek out resource structures to loot. Raiders of Muscovy benefit greatly from covering units as they wreak havoc.
- Clears out resources better than raiders
- All towers except crossbowtower and flametower
- Pikemen and towers can easily kill the Raiders of Muscovy.
- Their attack is partial to loot, so they are easily wiped out by defence like towers and emplacements.
Offensive Strategy
- Deploy the Raiders of Muscovy only when structures protecting the area have been wiped out or are preoccupied attacking other troops. They will then quickly move from one structure to the next, setting fire to buildings and leaving them to burn to the ground. This means that only a few squads of Raiders of Muscovy could burn down a dozen buildings in only a couple seconds.
Defensive Strategy
- Being very fast and strong, as well as seeking out siege, it can be used to defend your castle. Use in a lvl 4 guard house.
- The Raiders of Muscovy will actually search out and set siege engines on fire.
