I play Mostly Vanilla
My bad, I forgot that this was in vanilla section.
Well perhaps an Ottoman ally would do well - same general idea, Janissaries for anti cavalry and siege; strelets for anti infantry, and mix in a few cossacks and abus guns for a great combo.
Wilson_teh_Great: If I was to throw creatures to crocodiles, I would throw human infants and babies.
Wilson_teh_Great:French could go pure Hussar early on, mixed with Strelets that would be great. An alternative could be French going musket/crossbow or pikeman/crossbow - both would supplement the Russian well.
Musk/huss with French early on is the way to go in team games. Either works pretty well; they've got the eco to mass either at a fast rate without killing their resources (and thus, economy also).
I'm liking the idea of the ottoman Strategy... I wonder if there is anyway to mix Hussars in ther....

You could go Spain and use their anti-cav infantry to stop say an Uhlan rush.
