Victims of Mongol tactics were quick to see the value of Cavalry Raiders. While perhaps unable to completely match the Asians' skill in horse-archery (learned over the course of a nomadic lifestyle), they were able to create extremely effective raider units of their own, especially as technology advanced. An invading army relied heavily on cavalry raiders to scout out territory, capture cattle and other foodstuffs, and spread terror and dismay among the enemy population.
