this is my Russian strat right now.

 
at the start i will gather my resource boxes, then i will send 1 villager on wood & coin and put the rest on food then i would build a house aswell as producing 3 more vill's. as soon as i get enough for more villagers i wil spawn more. with a total of 6 vill's made i will put 5 on food 1 on woodcutting and then start another 3 by putting 1 on each of the resources. after this i wil have around 500 wood, 300 gold and 1000 food. this gives me the resources to start my age 2 up. (around 5 mins 30 secs). while i am aging up i am also using my cards on food and wood, aswell as building the first blockhouse. Now that all of that is done im in age 2. producing 10 strelets and 5 musk's. when i have enough resources. aswell as adding more villagers on top. with my units trained i will put them to knock out villagers and damage a teams town center. my first rush usually are conquered in this rush. but if not it goes succesfull, i gain control of their territory. after that rush i age up to ffortress age while building mass house's too support 100 pop.after the age up i upgrade my strelets and my musks to "guard".i start building block houses and artillerys up near a home town and train stre/musk combo with a few gren's thrown in. with a small army of 50 established i go for another rush on 2 angles of 25 per army. by now they have sufficient "army" too sort-of block my attack. if they don't they're town center is most likely too be rubble. aswel as building a fort and expanding my base. with 3 town centers places near enemy home towns i have teh dvantage of pumping out things and geting cards sent to one of those certain town centers or fort.now i concentrate on making my army. concluding of 10-30 halberdiers, 100-120 strelets 20 musketeers 5 heavy cannons and petards to bombard high hitpoint buildings. aswell as those golden cannons? (can't remember there name). aswell as hitting age 4 after getting my army and expanding. i will get the factory card and produce. then comes the moment oftruth. were i send my army into each town 1 by 1 by 1.

i have lv 22 home city by the way. uis this a good strat or is there way better then my crappy little strat

No offense, but if this is a rush strat, then it is rather crappy.

In Discovery you should have all vils on hunts, and make 14 vils.Send 300 wood as your first card to build a Blockhouse with. Once you have 800 click the "II" button in your town center and select the 400 wood Politician. You should ARRIVE in Colonial at about 4:20-4:50. Since you should have built a forward blockhouse, you should click the button that makes shipments arrive at your blockhouse. Send either 13 strelets or 5 Cossacks for raiding. Continue to make strelets with muskets thrown in. Make houses in advance as you will need alot of Pop space for army+villagers. Pressure your oppenent, use your Cossacks to continually raid his villagers, cutting him off of resources. If you are rushing successfully then I would recommend to just keep making more men and finish off your opponent.

If your opponent's defense is too good or if your rush fails, then I would recommend getting to fortress A.S.A.P. Use the 700 gold shipment+mine an additional 300 to get the 100 gold, while hunting till 1200 food.

In Fortress I like your idea of 3 TCs and good map control. Building the fort near your enemy's base would be better. Send unit cards like 6 Oprichniks, 17 Strelets, etc. Maybe add 1000 wood for more town centers/blockhouses?

I am not a Pro at Russian (Hardly even play em) but I hope this helps.

i don't know if it was supposed too be a rush or what but it works pretty good, do you have any idea on how to get like 100k food in one game though? it's possible?

Yes it is possible and easily achievable if you play long No Rush games. Just max out your economy and have several villagers gathering food. No Rules games shouldn't last to that point though.. 

ninjarichi:

ah, well with ym strat i make proberly around 20k in the whole game with 10k left at end? you got any good strats on the germans?

no offense, horrible strategy...you really plan on making 120 strelets? lol.

btw the "golden things" are culverins. anti-artillery artillery.
