Depending on ur micro/ treasures, u might have to stop vill production for like 15 sec, but hopefully not. keep making vills and musks, next shipment should be 13 strelets, put new villagers to food. collect rest of the wood crates -> build houses get 100 wood from crates and build house asap if you dont have enough pop to ship cossacks. que 3 vills, que 5 musks, ship 5 cossacks. Then build blockhouse with forward villagers, move wood vills back to hunts, when BH is done, move those 3 vills to hunt nearby. put 3-8 vills on wood until you have 250 wood. move 3 vills to coin, send 3 vills forward to middle of the map.

select the Quartermaster (400 wood politician) once you have made 4 batches of villagers (17 vills total) then click to age 2. take 1 vill, walk out to a herd of animals, then shooting the herd toward the TC collect wood crate with 1 vill, make house asap. assign each vill to his own food crate asap, then start pounding the 'que villager' button. you start with 5 vills and 5 food crates. I chose this strategy because it stresses the importance of vill production, it creates a large early mass which is exciting for new players, and it is VERY EASY to replicate. This is a very simple strategy, but I wrote it more detailed for lower players. This section consists of only 1 strategy, the 17 villager musketeer rush. I've been playing with russia both team and 1v1, on and off for last 2 years. and definitely a lot of fun!ДЄuthors: hansen4332, max: major rank, 2200 elo (I'm decayed atm). They are very strong late game (cause of church card, opri raids, fast vill production, etc) They also have some big weaknesses: weak early eco and weak early counter to cav (although this is fixed in FP by advanced arsenal shipment) I think they are competitive on both FP and RE. But they also are good at turtleing because of blockhouse, they can easily re-mass units. they have a strong military early in the game so they are good at rushing. Civ Information: I think Russia is a pretty fun and fairly flexible civ.
