Hailing from the Balkans, Slavic Raiders have somewhat more hitpoints than most other contemporary mercenary infantry, making them slightly more efficient in battle. Even so, their hitpoint ratings are still fairly poor, and the best that these units can do would be to fill your ranks and to stall incoming enemies. Don't expect them to perform well at their task, though: heavy infantry and heavy cavalry will destroy them fairly quickly if given the chance.

| - Hailing from the Balkans, Slavic Raiders have somewhat more hitpoints than most other contemporary mercenary infantry, making them slightly more efficient in battle. Even so, their hitpoint ratings are still fairly poor, and the best that these units can do would be to fill your ranks and to stall incoming enemies. Don't expect them to perform well at their task, though: heavy infantry and heavy cavalry will destroy them fairly quickly if given the chance. Slavic Raiders are of some interest to the Moors, because they can be upgraded. Once Darul Islam is researched and a decentralised state is chosen by selecting Republic as your mid-tier government, Slavic Raiders can then be upgraded to become Thaghri Footmen, who are mercenary infantry. Although they take a little longer to train and are a tad pricier, they are considerably more solid and can be used to hold a line or frontier, viz thaghr in Spanish Arabic. In contrast, however, the Venetian army will lose the ability to recruit these men once Centralisation is initialised — but those Slavic Raiders that have survived until then will instantly upgrade to Espadachines. The Slavs were thought to have originally came from somewhere in eastern Europe, particularly in the lands between the Danube and the Vistula rivers, and eventually made their presence felt in the Byzantine and Frankish empires by the mid-7th century, eventually settling down and forming what would be the "Slavic" kingdoms of Bohemia, Poland, Croatia, Serbia and Russia. Contrary to popular belief that the word "Slav" meant "Slave", the demonym "Slav" may mean either "glory" or "word" in many Slavic languages today — the word "slave" only came into existence during the Middle Ages when there was a thriving market in Slavic slaves thanks to Turkic, Arab, and Mongol raiders.
