Strelets are generally Russian and Hussars are generally Polish, but they can mix.
Also, it is increasingly apparent that C.A. are only going to give us features of the factions that are already confirmed playable or extremely unsurprising. If there will be another, it will probably be Spain.

redux, not exactly
russia was reforming at the begining of the 18th century
and litterly was "a sleeping giant" it exploded with power in the 18th and did many great things
but at the start it was in a way awakening with the force of peter the great
and on a note of the streltsy, they most likely wont show up
peter the great disbanded them at the start of the 18th century and made russia a more westernized/russian army(although i do love the santa like streltsy, and hope they are in the game)
also, im very happy that they finally previewed it
i was tired of waiting

I think that flags are going to be an issue anyway, given how many nations changed theirs from the late 17th to early 19th centuries. I'm more concerned with historical unit rosters and provinces.

Actually Streletsy can't be used as armies, they were discontinued in 1720, but for 20 years they were mainly used as city guards, basically they were police
AND RUSSIAN POWER WILL OWN ALL!!!!!!!!!!! Sweden first, Uniting the Baltic next TUrks the third, grabbing an alliance with Prussia, and then INVADING NAPOLEONS SOORY EXCUSE OF AN ARMY!

werent the streltsy pretty tough actually?
the made movable forts and won quite a few wars in there prime
then they got messed up because of ivan the terribles insane streak
but they held up well afterwards, but im pretty sure they will just be early militia considering the age
