OPPONENT
MacedonianMacedonian
Macedonian wins through reinforced cavalry attrition, sustained by passive silver income and cost-free army replacements: Varangian warriors automatically discover silver deposits while gathering standard resources, which funds superior military upgrades at the Arsenal, while the Warcamp replaces battlefield losses without cost, creating a momentum cycle where accumulated kills trigger runestone bonuses that strengthen their surviving warriors.
Matchup advice12 TIPS

The match-up is relatively hard for ayyubid. The Ridari is a solid cavalry unit, and you can make up for the camel unease by researching the Rampire upgrade, which gives +3 damage. With that, you can completely mitigate the camel unease bonus.

Archers from the macedonian have the ability in the feudal age to ignore two armor, so can actually trade out positively against the Camel Lancers.

You'd think camels are good against Riddari, but Riddari are the best castle knight — they are faster, have faster attack speed, higher base damage, and higher health — so they win.

If your opponent is going straight Riddari, Ghulam look incredibly questionable.
