You could try spamming halbs. Dutch get royal guard ones right?

Pure Gendarmes can be beaten cost effectively with ruyters with halb meatshield. But as soon as the French player adds skirmishers, gg.

When i play dutch and some french noob(you wouldn't believe how many there are) starts spamming cuirassers i always make a halb/ruyter combo(using the halbs as a meatshield) and keep pushing for the frenchie's Eco.Most times the french guy will either keep pushing at you or run to protect his own Eco,either way you will have the advantage of population and you can easily own him.[French cuirasser=3 pop,so only 40 cuirasser can be made(80 vills). Dutch ruyter/halb=1 pop,so 150 can be made(50 vills).
