Unit Description
Viking Raider Cavalry are the only cavalry the Viking faction gets. They aren't very good, but they can be used to run down routing units for more prisoners. They can also chase missile units and in a pinch be used for rear charges, but expect to lose them in greater numbers than other light cavalry.
Viking Raider Cavalry can be dismounted in open field battles, not just castle assaults. They dismount to Viking Carls, a respectable foot unit, far more effective (but slower) than they are when mounted.
