Yet another type of raider is the soloist raider, often armed with end-game weaponry and armour. They will often walk into a stone age village, and destroy the village and it's inhabitants, before eating random food lying around. They will also randomly attack nomadic people, and will raze their boat, as well as kill the nomad.

Considerably deadlier is the stronghold, a large castle-tribe with mid to end game weaponry and siege machines, as well as planners and inventors. They often go on mass raids around the server. Typically unstoppabble unless another tribe of equal size and better weaponry is present. The best possible way to survive is to hide somwhere with a large surplus of food and farming supplies in order to wait it out.

Another irritating specimen picked up is the pirate, a seafaring raider, who true to it's name, goes across the seas, attacking boats, killing the crew and taking loot. They will often then raze the boat, and go off. Often in groups when raiding, pirates truely are frustrating, seeing as a good deal of the map consistes of water, preventing acess. They occasionally raid ports, before stealing the better boats and razeing the rest of the port.

Most frustrating would be the troll, often going around and being a general jerk to the community. Known acts of trolling would be shipping off bentos and/or other animals to an artificial island far from anywhere, and watching chaos ensue. Yet another is running into a village and eating all the food.

Next week we will be talking about the raider's natural behavior and responses.
