I thought of interesting concepts for raiders, and I was wondering. Can't we make a cheap raider with high damage that can simply run in and keep moving, like a ravager, but cheap like a dart, with ranged damage high enough to bypass lone riot units with high masses? For it's damage, it should be cheap, but it sacrifices cost for mobility. It should still be fast enough to scavenge fields with ease, like kodachis and glaives, but not mobile enough to escape direct raider assaults, like a scorpion wouldn't. I think the best unit for this experimental feature would be the Dagger, as I love the idea of a bunch of deadly daggers flying across the battlefield with a single gauss shot in front of them, and that should make them quite balanced, and/or fun, even if for a while. The second unit that could use such an upgrade is, scorcherer, but to make them more mobile.
In a few words, the design of the raider is a quick projectile-like unit, with burst damage summed up to be high enough to pick off lone units who have been caught wandering through the night. Only dedication can stop their onslaught.
