Rod Hus is strong against civs without muskets because the musket is the only heavy infantry besides dopplesodners that kill rodeleros age 2. Thats leaves only light infantry beating rodeleros which your cav can take care of and your rods can force into hand attack. It is a great combo for surrounding tactics.
If you start with 200 wood build a market and house and gather the appropriate resources for hunting dogs. If you start with 100 wood and 100 coin, build a market, mine 25 coin, buy 100 wood, build a house, then gather the appropriate resources for hunting dogs.
Send 3 vills
Age with 16 villagers.
In transition put most all of your vills on wood and research placer mines.
Gather another 325 wood then put 6 villagers on coin and the rest of food.
Upon aging send 700 wood and 700 coin and put all new vills on food also research steel traps.
Build a baracks or stable, whichever is better in your situation (usually cav works better)
Begin making rods or hus
When your wood arrives gather it research steel traps and the second mining upgrade at the market
Your next 2 cards should be 5 vills and 4 vills
You will want to send the 5 vills (maybe a few sooner) onto wood for houses
If you are about to be popped you can easily buy wood
From there you can send eco theory or build a church and send the missionary card. Another option is to upgrade your hand infantry hitpoints (gives 20% to rods, the attack gives 15%).
When you have about 30 rods and 20 hussar do not make any more because they will not all be able to engage in fighting. Either make crossbows, muskets, missionaries or age.
This strat is very good on the economy
It is a good option to send 600 wood and build 2 trade posts after sending 700 wood however this will be slower and I rarely do it.
