How do I beat Dutch on RE as China/France/India?

[Davy_Jones_123]

Usually, I play on ESOC maps for better resources and on maps with TPs. So how do I beat Dutch? What strategy should I use against them with those civs?

For France cav semi into classic skrim goon cuir +falcs must be gg ,china STD FF deathball push or FI if he too passive ,India might be close gurkhas zambs with urumi or sepoy urumi mahout

Easy

China skirm age up + 10 skirms + cav + double-sided armour & repelling volley( if you are greedy) should take care of just about anything dutch can do

Whatever you do, dont let dutch breathe. You need to be pretty aggressive.

As China, what I like is just going full gas aggression once you hit fortress. I prefer getting up a redcoat/cav army first and artacking with that, then adding some skirm mass and pressure with that and then eventually shipping hand mortars to seal the deal. A super aggressive confucian academy with a forward village can also work. Although tbh, just getting a deathball as China is fine too.

As France I like two strats: getting up stagecoach is really strong if the map allows you to. Its so hard for Dutch to properly contest that. Otherwise the standard FF is decent, you have a timing window early fortress where dutch just doesnt have the mass yet.

As India on RE, Id do 5 sepoy 4 sowar I think. Might even do a 10/10 or otherwise cut a vill or so. The other option is to go full greed, you can compete with Dutch in that way.
