The Camel Raider is the Nubian unique Ranged Cavalry of the Gunpowder Age that replaces the standard Dragoon.

Overview

Compared to Dragoons, Camel Raiders are statistically identical, but they do +35% damage against Light Infantry and +20% damage against Gunpowder Infantry, so the innate ability of Ranged Cavalry as raiders combined with this advantage makes Camel Raiders great counter-raiders as well.
