I would recommend you try out 4 militia sergeants instead of the spears and one of the Halbs. Also, I usually take 4 Boyars. If I'm going to take 4 cavs at all, any 4 cavs or more, I make sure that I always have 4 Boyars. They're the best cavs the Russians have. Lith cavs are okay, but they're not nearly as good as Boyars imo.

Opps I almost forgot, in MP early era, they also have Vikings. IMO they are one of the strongest factions in early, as they can field 8 good inf, and strong cavs.
