i dont think russia is UP at all... i have beaten many players with russia. I just want to know why everyone thinks its so UP. they are very hard to rush, they are good rush, they can boom and turtle, they are IMO overpowered or atleast average. they are great at anti-rush and then booming, then you just keep booming until you have 4-5 stables have 4 full mills and 3-4 full plantations fully upgraded, and just spam orchinpikes (w/e the calvary are called) followwed by some light infantry and maybe a few anti calvary and they are as good as dead, orchinipikes are extremely powerful, i have won evertime i have ahd the opportunity to spam them, they arent even half bad at dragoons or jans. someone plz explain!!!

Boat boom, that's a good strat against a portugese FFer. Get to fortress later than him and spam strelets, ports have no good counter to them apart from hussars, and I can't remember the last time a port made hussars against me. For mamelukes, just 15-20 muskets is enough to take care of them. Set up another TC and you'll be holding your own against the port's 3 TCs.
