I'm an ottoman player and was playing a dutch and was shocked at the rutyer's power (I rushed his team mate and destroyed him and my team mate rudely left) so it was just 2 people I made jannies against the rutyers and they worked well, but when the falconets came my jans dropped like stones... any recommendations?

How come your topic says "how do you fight against Ruyters?" but your question is asking about falconets?

k... I actually didn't think of using abus guns but i guess the y will work since rutyers are ranged calvary. (the question concerned the rutyer falconet combo). I was getting owned because I sent jannies in melee mode up to the cannons which works well but then the rutyers kill them lol.

Abus guns take falcs out fine if enemy doesn't have +4 of them, and you dont have all your abus piled together so they would take all the splash damage..

I usually play Ports, and goons can clean them up nicely.
It tends to work better earlier, before the dutch get OP

wow.... are you joking? cav archers against rutyers and falconets? that sounds completely bizarre lol... aren't rutyers better than cav archers though?

10 hussars= 2000 resources, will propably all die in the mission to kill the falconets.
1 culverin= 500 resource and doesn't die on the mission unless enemy suicides some ryuters.

yeah well obviously in this situation culvereins are better than hussars since there is ranged cav around...
