Its too easy to transition to take out his cossacks. 9 rod shipment plus dual rax going full pike, and next thing you know you have a mass of anticav to kill his cossacks.

and cav archers will solve that?

bring out falcons protected by halbs or to protect from both falcons protected by cav archers

Were talking about pure cav counters for the spanish, I don't know what your talking about though.

 i was talking about spanish counter. cav archers wont be the greatest vs rodo and pikes, but that falcons will kill off the rodo and pikes without much damage received as cav archers are the meatshield. then as for countering the lancer and skrim, the cav archers take out the lancers and the falcons take out the skirm

obviously every army has a counter, my statement merely said that it is easy for spain to transition to HI to beat heavy cav.

the fact that every army has a counter is the entire point of the game

idk why army counters are so commonly discussed, i should think these counters are obvious

not all counters are obvious though.

What counters skirm/goon/organ gun???

europe civ i would say spanish lancer spam with missionary unction backup as the organ guns take up a big chunk of pop and so they wont have that many dragoons and the dragoons will be outnumbered and then once they go full dragoon go full rodolero and then when they go full skrism go full lancer and...

good were back on topic. i agree with lorenejtm, russians are really good in sup. those cheap inf units you were complaining about are really useful for rushing with, as you easily outnumber the enemy

Ah crap, did I just go on topic? I hate it when I do that.

im going to guess that your being sarcastic, but not really it wasnt completely on topic this thread isnt supposed to be about russian rushes, just their infantry

No I wasn't sarcastic. Going on topic when the topic at hand is off topic could ruin the off topic discussion which could be interesting. Furthermore, supremacy and rush aren't the same thing. Supremacy is the game type, where as the rush is a strategy for supremacy. Furthermore Russian infantry could be encompassed in all cases, may be it Treaty, Supremacy, or rushing. 

Brb bathroom.
