Bavaria

 Strong 18thc musketeer, but slow to train and slow to fire. Cheap early upgrades for the heavy rider and hussar. Expensive first attack and defense upgrades render pikemen weak vs early rushes. Cheap 18th, expensive stables (and no fast-training light cav). With its limited cav support, Bavaria is generally too weak for any but the longest peacetimes (60+ minutes).
