Long time reader, first time poster..
umm so I have heard that the Mongols are really good for raiding with horse archers, and I wanted to hear your opinions on that. Also, Inca seems like a strong nations when it comes to the classical age because they earn wealth while mining!! :O
anyways, can you guys tell me which nation is the best or really good at raiding by the classical age with horse archers and that stuff?

spanish, mongols and lakota are my favorites. spanish and lakota because of their accessibility to the map, and mongols because of the uu horse archers when you make a stable

-lakota are great for raiding because they receive food for every cavalry unit
-mongols are great for raiding because whenever they build a stable they get free unique HA
-romans are great for raiding because you can use the extra wealth to build HC and HA
-aztecs are great because they receive resources for every enemy troop killed
-japanese are also great because they can inflict more damage to the enemy buildings(I personally use the japanese HI to destroy enemy farms,mines and woodcutters camps)
-bantu are great because their barracks troops move faster
-greeks and french are great because of their unique HC unit
....and so on..
The problem in raiding with some of this nations(like mongols,aztecs,lakota) is the fact that they are quite predictable and your opponent might prepare for being raided by building towers, creating LC,FA and spies[...]

@lolcatz: You are joking, right? Hehe.
Well, best nation for raiding...
For ancient raiding: Aztecs, bantu, irokese, brits, americans, romans, persians.
For raiding in classic and later:
Mongols (fast classic, free HA)
Aztecs (kill bonus)
Spanish (fast classic, knowledge of the map)
Greeks (only if they can afford raid troops, then use HC)
I dont find lakota to be that suited for raiding. Of course you have an advatage because you can build a stable nearly anywhere, but: Cavalry units bring food, so you dont want to lose them. And you dont want to lose vils, so i prefer to raid with HI and to use Cavalry to protect my land.
Japanese are no better raiders than others. Sure, their HI razes building quickly, but when you have the time to attack building like farms or woodcamps, you better attack the city.
