I was just wondering which civ or civs are most ideal at raiding or rushing. It may have been answered but I just wanted to hear from Soggy, Elpea, or anyone else that has played the game so far. Thanks a lot.

"DeaconJekyll> Hey, I was just wondering about how a raiding strat will work and which civ is good at it?
<ES_DeathShrimp> The way we define raiding is to go hit someone early and target his villagers.
<DeaconJekyll> yep
<ES_DeathShrimp> You either want to kill a few or get him to garrison for a bit.
<...> Archers are the best at raiding, especially Crossbowmen, Longbowmen or Natives.
<...> On the other hand, if you want to kill buildings, you send in Pikemen instead.
<...> Hussars work good at villagers who have strayed far from home hunting or mining. But Hussars are a little weak against buildings,
<...> The Germans and Russians are good at raiding.
<...> Though any civ can do it. The Ottomans have a killer (probably too killer) Grenadier rush."
