OPPONENT
MacedonianMacedonian 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 advice10 TIPS
Archers is China's most popular feudal strat, but do you really ever want to be building archers against Macedonians?
You just can't beat horsemen on horsemen when it's Macedonians.
Macedonians are weaker on economy though because you've got the supervision to give extra on drop off.
Spears seem like a good threat against Ridari until you realize how stacked they get.
Bogmafr are good enough to contest Chinese archers.
