Half way through the game, you start getting cannons and other missle-ranged weapons. Not at the beginning though.
Pried I used to always play as HRE (currently I play as England) and I'll tell you, its a really good faction
, the only problem is that it is surrounded by many factions....
Anyhow about HRE (Also called the Imperialists):
**You are the bold black
The Holy Roman Empire is something of a misnomer, as the true heirs to the Roman Empire are the Byzantines and they are closer to a collection of duchies and fiefdoms than a truly cohesive empire. A great rift in opinion exists between the Kaiser and the Pope over whether the Empire controls the Church or vice versa. The Empire is in a position where the strategic opportunities are widely varied. France is a separate country to the west, Italy is a collection of duchies and the countries to the east are more threatening than places to threaten. The location in the centre of Europe makes the Holy Roman Empire a faction that can be played in many different ways. Their main strength is in a lack of specific weaknesses, they are strong all round, while they lack the professional armies that are available to some nations in the Late Period.

**Your the Dark, bold blue.
The Russians have a history of absorbing foreign invaders within the vastness of their country. It was no different in medieval times when Christian Crusades and Mongol invasions had to be dealt with. The Russians have huge distances between the cities to cope with but this can be as much of a blessing as a curse as their enemies also have to deal with these distances. While Russia is not well endowed with quality infantry units (especially in the early stages), the Russian cavalry is of excellent quality, perhaps even the best cavalry roster available in the game. Being a Christian faction will not protect you from the whims of the papcy as orthodox Christians are seen in the same light as pagans, muslims & other heretics. Defending Russia from multiple crusades is a very real possibility.
