Raiding is a military tactic where a group conducts a surprise attack on an enemy's territory to gather resources, inflict damage, or capture individuals. This strategy has been used throughout history by various cultures, including the Vikings and Mongols, who targeted settlements for plunder and conquest. In modern contexts, raiding can also refer to organized activities in online games, where players team up to defeat powerful enemies or complete challenging missions. These raids often require coordination and strategy, similar to historical military operations, but are conducted in a virtual environment.
