How to make raids playing Norway?

[Prue]

I have build the drakkar, but I cant make raides. When the drakkar is close to the shore, I cant capture the barbarian units....But how to do it?

What is a 'Drakkar'? Are you referring to the Longship? You coastally raid the same way you pillage on land only you can pillage an adjacent tile. You can also pillage a civilian unit. In which case, you capture it instead. The civilian unit has to be by itself and cannot be on the same tile as a military unit.

Also note that only Konge Harald grants naval melee class the coastal raid ability; Varangian Harald does not.

There is an achievement to capture settler using a Longship, but when get close to the barbarian settler (previously I let him to be captured by barbarian), I can't capture it. Why it is unavaliable?

Are you clicking the "Raid" button?
You don't try to move the Longship onto land. The settler cannot be on the same tile as a military unit, so it won't let you capture it if it is in an escort formation.

If it's on its own on land nextto your longship, you click the "Raid" button, then you click to confirm the target. Also, you cannot coastally raid with naval melee units unless you are playing as Harald Hardrada (Konge).

There's an extra button to click. It is only available if the tile is not guarded by a military unit. You can pillage improvements and/or civilian units on the tile and clear barb camps not guarded by military units.

So stealing settlers from barbs is difficult as they quickly retreat civilian units in a camp. You would need to kill the military units on the tile somehow in order to be able to perform a coastal raid with the unit.
