Raider

Raiders are a faction of disorganized groups of hostiles that initially control forts near the player's territory. Early quests often pit the player against them.

In earlier versions of the game, additional raiders could randomly spawn and launch raids on the player throughout the game.

In newer versions of the game, the appearance of additional raiders is tied to city rebellion, and they will only spawn from cities with low morale. They will then move out of the city to set up a camp nearby after which they might begin raiding resources in the area.

"Independent raiders not associated with any particular faction."

- In-game Description

Units
In the current version of the game, raiders will dynamically use the brigade types of the faction they rebel from, but are made weaker by the brigades usually not always being at full strength and by the faction's own negative attributes.

In older versions of the game, Raiders got their own, weaker versions of units.
