Your best counter is units that carry multipliers against "infantry" (not light infantry or heavy infantry just plain infantry) and do meelee or siege danage (the 50% range resist is brutal) AND ideally have high ranged resist. This includes Spainish lancers, naginata riders, iron flails, mahouts, heavy cannon, falconets, horse attillery and great bombards. Other possible counters include grenadiers (british grens with all the cards are very good counters), hussars, coyote runners. Also any unit with a bonus against seige troopers such as oprichniks, minutemen. And of course Cuirassiers because they counter almost everything fairly well. Just remember that an iroquois player will run out of wood very quickly if they keep spamming mantlets so as long as you can hold up with gold and food units you will be in a very strong position as almost every iro unit costs wood
