How to beat
Macedonianas Abbasid Dynasty
Matchup tips
Game plan for Abbasid: military wing 2TC. Boom up. You have very good spears with phalanx. You have Camel Archers to deal with should be pretty much it.
With 2TC military wing, Abbasid can stay in Feudal for a long time making horsemen and spears to prevent a good Golden Horn Tower position. If you force it defensively, you can raid out with horsemen.
Macedonian is able to keep you in feudal. Eventually your Varangian Guards reach six melee armor or ranged armor, and with the Hippodrome Champion and Runestones they get over 1.6 tiles per second movement speed, running as fast as a knight. Your infantry gets absolutely blitzed.
As soon as the second melee infantry armor upgrade comes in, Varangian Guards have 10% bonus health, six melee armor, four ranged armor.
The only real option as Abbasid is to make camel archers against them, but once the Hippodrome Champion comes in, Varangian Guards with a charge can catch up to the camel archers and take them down.
Once the last armor upgrade for Varangian Guards is in, it's just over.
Berserking means Varangian Guards take a lot of damage, so don't walk in while Berserking is active.
Riddari are great in this matchup because they can throw axes at camel archers.
