The Russians start out in the game with extra reasources for their economy, but only a few villagers. So with the extra boost of supplies the Russians can turn their reasources into more settlers or a large raiding army that might be useful later on in the game.

The Russian soldiers all tends to be weaker than others, but they cost less so they can be deployed in greater numbers. The Russians also has the Strelet which is the cheapest and weakest unit in the game. The Russians can also train infantry and settlers in groups, this allows the Russians to train them faster, but it costs more reasources to group train.

The Russians also have a unique military building that replaces the Barracks called a Blockhouse, this building can train infantry units as well as defend territory such as the Outpost. This makes the Russians a tough opponent when attacking their colony.
