How / Are raid results different than the participants each attacking someone (simultaneously?)?
Or multiple simultaneous raids, for that matter, I suppose.
[Remembering that the Hero and Inquisitor can each only be on one march at one time. e.g. You could send both, or send the Hero with Cav. gear and the Inquisitor with Scout gear separately. Anything beyond that won't have the associated stat benefits.]
A single attack by 50M troops is more powerful than 20 attacks by 2.5M troops. Consider the difference if the enemy has 20M troops on hand.
Also note that raids and marches have different maximums. You can send more on a raid than you can on a march. This is 'one troop', but different bonuses can be applied. ('raid' vs not). You can increase your march size with the 'Marches' boost, then increase that with the 'Raid troop headcount' boost.
Note too that 'raid troop headcount' is the maximum raid you can launch from your military camp as raid initiator. Your (one troop) march sizes is how many troops you can deploy (from your military camp) destined for the initiators military camp.
In Boosts, the former is 'Raid', the latter is 'Raid Troop Headcount' - 'Temporarily increases the number of warriors in a Raid you have formed', vs 'the capacity of the troop you send on a Raid' (described as 'increases the raid troop headcount by ...', 'use it before sending warriors on a raid'). https://support-portal.plarium.com/en/throne-web/faq/items/raid-troop-headcount
Raid initiator can have bonuses that apply to all incoming troops upon battle. Individual marches do not have this bonus available to them.

"The Military Camp level in your Town determines the size of the army you can send on a Raid formed by your allies. The total number of Raid troops depends on the level of the Council Hall in the Town of the Lord forming the Raid."
Palace / Statistics / (Army) General / Raid troop headcount - # of troops you can host for a raid.
Palace / Statistics / (Army) General / Maximum number of warriors in one troop [aka March Headcount] - # of troops you can send to the raid initiator.
- IF your Military Camp is large enough. Else max. you can send is Military Camp's 'Warriors in Raid".
