    This is your 5th topic? Honestly, just choose 1 topic and for the rest, edit your first post, and on the red tabs select do not allow repliess to your post.

    EDIT: i guess they fixed that, oh well. Stop making new topics, and only post in one of your topics and let the others die.

    Muskets, hussars, and grens are a very strong combo and is obviously the stronger uniit combo compared to a pike/bow unit combo.  the one downfall of the hussar combo is that its so dang expensive.  hussars are like 200 resourses, muskets are like 100 and grens are over 100 i don't remember...

    if you go for a straight pike and bow combo its much cheaper because you oonly need food and wood.  not to mention you can pump these out at a faster rate.

    imo pike and bows are the best choice for early game...however throw the 3 hussar card in there  even better, protect thepikes they have high siege!

    Musketeer; Barracks (200W)
    Hussar: Stable (200W)
    Grenadier: Artillery foundry (300W)

    Total: 700 Wood

     So just for the buildings, you'll need 700 wood, which is pathetic, since Brits don't have 400 wood age-up. Also ,grenadiers suck, they can't counter anything without upgrades, and still take 2 population. Hussars are hard to make, because they're high on food and coin, and muskeeers take too much food. So if you try this strat, you'll have like 3-4 Grens + 5 Huss + like 12 musks at ~7:30. Well that sucks compared to a full 30 musks or 21lb + 10 pikes
