Sherden Raiders

From Warbirth Wiki

In short, his job was everything a Sardinian pirate could have wished for, and he was determined to keep it. [...] Nothing could replace the thrill of proving himself in combat.

Overall strategy[edit | edit source]

Sherden Raiders - armed with Swords and Javelins. They will take out Javelins, if they are told not to approach.

Note that while these units are recruitable to most European and Middle Eastern factions, they require the use of a Nuraga. This is problematic, since Nuraga often function as defensive structures, meaning that for certain factions like Egypt or Greece, Spies must be sent forward to bribe these buildings before they can be relied upon to produce Sherden Raiders.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Still don't know how to build these units. Need to look t all the other ones before we can make a decision.
