Re: Spanish vs russian rush how do u win?
 DukeLeto:Lances cut through strelets like oprichinks through unguarded vils. I think that honestly 5 veteran lancers could beat 50 strelets.
Not to mention Strelets have crappy siege, and they are forced to choose between your tower or your TC.. If you micro manage your Tower/TC fire, you should be dropping 1 Strelet every shot. As I said.. Rods+Minutemen+Tower/TC fire + Incoming Lancer shipment once you hit age3 + Whatever Age3 shipment you sent = A lot of +6 xp's popping up in the color of your choosing.

Re: Spanish vs russian rush how do u win?
as spain vs russia you should go fortress for lancers as others have said since the lancer bonus vs infantry is very useful vs the predominantly infantry based russian army. if you are doing a 2v2 it really depends on what civs everyone in the game is, FFing may not be the best option in 2v2 since the other 2 players could attack and then you would be screwed against 2 armies.

Re: Spanish vs russian rush how do u win?
If your partner is China, you can get very very cheap barracks/war academies.
The total cost of a war academy can be reduced 55%(down to 90 wood), and barracks cost can be reduced by 80%(40 wood) as the two cheap barracks cards stack, and both are team cards. So each time you build a barracks you save either 110, or 160 wood(I usually use the saved wood to build a market, or buy economic upgrades in the market).
There is no need for team archaic soldier training if you can build x2, or x5 barracks for the same cost as a single building.

Re: Spanish vs russian rush how do u win?
EtherImp: Babri: AWSOMN:
as soon as he ages he gets 23 strets and attacks and keeps training
Just remember ! Cavalry is the best counter to strelets. Get a shipment of Lancers and continue creating them. And being Spain you get shipments more quickly so there should be no problem.
FF and send Lancers.
Lancers counter everything Russia has... seriously. Even their cav is relatively weak. If he starts massing Cav just spam a few Rods and keep Lancers around.
+1
just keep a few veteran rods around your lancers
-and be sure to send caballeros

Re: Spanish vs russian rush how do u win?
EtherImp: Lancers > Muskets. So yes.. Keep getting Lancers. I don't think Russia has a single unit that can effectively counter Lancers until Age3, which would be cavalry archers and... I think they get halberders at this point? Either way, Lancers counter their entire Age2 army.
Cossacks = Lancers. :s

Re: Spanish vs russian rush how do u win?
russia has to have it from it's offensive power . they need numbers to throw over the opponent. what u do is you turtle make a small colonial army go fortress send lancers. basically the small colonial age army would have been rodelero's
so now u have rods/lancers keep making lancers and try getting some artillery out.
His blockhouse is a defense point in the map so once u throw that over 80% of the russian players are lost cause he will try to defend it at all cost with his army.
Once thrown over the game is yours for the taking
The trick is to balance ur eco and military and not just spam one unit
