So after logging a couple different faction trees and looking at a few incomplete lists that I have, I've come to some conclusions:
Best Marine: England
Best Pikeman: Spain
Best Infantry with shield (only actually): Spain
Best Musketeer: France
Best all around: Buccaneers (French Renegades)
Best Cav? Not sure yet.
Best Dragoon? Not sure yet.
The Dutch, like the Spanish, don't get a 3rd tier musketeer mercenary which leads me to believe, like the Spanish, their strength isn't in muskets. Since no other faction seems to have great cav, maybe the Dutch do? Not sure. Doesn't really match history if true in game. Granted if we were going by history, Spain would probably have the best cav, pikeman, infantry, and muskets; something that isn't really balanced.
