Woad Raider
The Celtic unique unit. An extremely fast infantry unit designed for raiding and hit-and-run tactics.
Tactical Briefing
You're the fastest infantry in the game at 1.17 speed - almost as fast as Light Cavalry. With 70 HP and 11 attack, you can raid enemy economies and escape before reinforcements arrive. Your +2 bonus vs buildings helps destroy houses and production buildings quickly. But 0/1 armor makes you very fragile to archers. Strike fast, hit eco, and get out.

Strategic Analysis
The Woad Raider is a **lightning-fast raiding infantry**. Designed to hit vulnerable targets and escape before enemies can respond.
- Eco Raiding: 1.17 speed lets you run past defenders. Target villagers and production buildings.
- Building Destroyer: +2 vs buildings. Can quickly destroy houses to pop-cap enemies.
- Pursuit Hunter: Fast enough to catch fleeing archers and siege. Nothing escapes a Woad Raider.
Warning: **Paper armor**. 0/1 means even Skirmishers hurt you. Never fight under Town Center fire or against archer masses.
