Raiding

Raiding is the art of taking as many provinces as possible with as little effort as necessary. A raiding group is the opposite of a doom stack. Raiding does well against unforted provinces and can do a great deal to an enemies' gold and gem income because they can't collect taxes and gems from provinces that they no longer own.

A raiding group can be anything from 40 zotz who routinely suffer 50% casualties; to 3 anakites and an indy priest; to a mage with a few gems set to drop two elementals and take a nap; to a thug. Quality is binary, either you take the province or you don't, so raiding is all about quantity. Effective raiding tactics involve a variety of raiding groups because you must use all resources available.

Raiding is successful when you can raid more provinces than your opponent can take back. This is known as applying lots of raiding pressure, pushing the front line back to the enemy and leaving you with more and more provinces every turn.
