Raider Light Cavalry

Summary
Raider Light Cavalry is a brigade that was used by the Raider faction in-game as a weaker version of regular light cavalry. While they still exist in the game files, they don't currently appear in-game under normal circumstances, since the Raider faction was changed in an update to instead draw its brigades from those of the regular factions from which they rebel locally but with penalties to combat performance, rather than having dedicated Raider brigade types.

"A critical part of any army, cavalry are more expensive to maintain but can travel quickly and provide essential support to a slower moving battleline. Light cavalry are most effective as scouts, raiders or in direct combat against light infantry."

- In-game Description

History
Raider Light Cavalry represent bandits that have managed to get their hands on horses. Their skill at mounted combat, however, is inferior to those of the Italian upper classes who were better trained in fighting on horseback.

Tactics
Raider Light Cavalry is similar to Etruscan Light Cavalry, but with severely reduced damage and defenses.
