I use 5-10 grenadiers with a pikemen meat shield as Dutch in early ages against the Spanish. Skirmishers, jagers, Cherokee, Cree, Cassadors, Longbowmen, grenadiers, and abus guns and artillery, especially organ guns and heavy cannon are better than most to counter heavy infantry. If possible, warships can be used. Generally, ranged units can do OK. Also, organ guns are deadly in the right conditions, as they can reliably hurt more than one soldier in a volley.
