The Dragoon Raider is a level 5 standard Raiders unit unlocked in the Gunpowder Age. Its predecessor is the Heavy Cavalry Raider and can be upgraded to the Carabineer Raider. It is researched in a level 6 Armory.

General Information[]

  • Dragoon Raiders are good against resource buildings; doing up to 400% more damage.
  • Dragoon Raiders would attack the closest resource building but when attacked by an enemy troop; will fight back.
  • Dragoon Raiders are weak against defensive buildings.

Historical Description[]

Originally, Dragoons were units that rode horses for mobility but dismounted to fight. Over time - especially as gunpowder weapons became smaller and easier to handle - they began to fight from horseback with those weapons. Generally wearing lighter armor on inferior horses to the elite cavalry units, Dragoons were cheaper to field and train than the armored heavy lancers. As gunpowder technology improved they became equal power to the cavalrymen, eventually supplanting them altogether.
